Paedophile serving 17 years behind bars for abusing babies younger than six months old is found dead in prison

A porn-addicted paedophile who was serving 17 years behind bars for abusing babies and young children has been found dead in prison. 

Jared Perry was found dead on November 3 while in custody at Parc Prison in Bridgend, Wales. 

It is understood Perry - who was jailed in January after pleading guilty to a string of sexual and indecent assaults on children - had attempted to take his own life and later died in hospital.

The 32-year-old was said to be an 'extremely high risk' to children when he was locked up.

Ian Coles, deputy director of HMP Parc, said: 

On 3 November 2019, Mr Perry passed away in hospital. As with all deaths in custody, this will be investigated by the Prison and Probation Ombudsman.
