Notorious Paedophile Anthony Barron Dies in Prison

A 72-year-old convicted paedophile, Anthony Barron, has died while serving a life sentence for sexually abusing 11 young girls. Barron, who was jailed in 2007 for 87 offences, including attempted rape and making indecent photographs, passed away on July 18 at HMP Ashfield near Bristol.

The prison ombudsman confirmed Barron's death, but the cause has not been disclosed. Barron was sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of abusing children as young as three over a period of nine years, starting from 1997. The victims, all girls, were between the ages of three and 12.

At the time of his sentencing, Judge Julian Hall described Barron as a, "plausible, predatory paedophile", and stated that the case was, "as serious a series of offences as I think I've ever come across". Barron, formerly of Grove, Oxfordshire, was 54 when he was jailed.


Barron's crimes were particularly heinous, with evidence showing that he had filmed himself abusing the young children. His actions caused immense harm and suffering to his victims and their families.

The news of Barron's death has brought a sense of closure for some, but it is also a reminder of the devastating impact of his crimes on the lives of those he abused.
