Paul Lamb, 74, was jailed for 17-and-a-half years in May 2021 after being found guilty of 19 sexual offences which took place during the 1970s in London and in the 1980s in Yorkshire.
The ex-policeman was diagnosed with breast cancer months after his arrival at HMP Hull and he then died just a year into his sentence, a prison report has revealed.
Lamb’s crimes include the rape of a girl under 16 in Islington in the 1970s, when he worked for the Met.
He then moved to East Yorkshire where he ran a children’s home for three years during which he carried out two more rapes and many more indecent assaults.
A report into the care Lamb received in prison prior to his death revealed that his partner believed that a mastectomy had prevented the spread of the cancer.
However, Lamb then stopped taking medication prescribed to him due to his concern about possible side effects.
His cancer soon returned and he died on May 27, 2022, hours after being told that he had less than 48 hours to live.
