Last updated 8th May 2026
A man who abused four young vulnerable girls over a number of years has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
40-year-old Daniel Tranmer received his sentence today at Hull Crown Court. He will also be on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Tranmer, of Nelson Court in Hull, was found guilty of eight counts of sexual touching against a girl under 13 following a nine-day trial at Hull Crown Court which concluded in March 2026.
Police launched their investigation back in November 2022, following a third-party report raising concerns for the welfare of a young girl. The girl disclosed that Tranmer had indecently touched her on a number of occasions.
Tranmer was then arrested and during interview, he denied all allegations and described the incidents as accidental. He was released on conditional bail whilst enquiries continued.
Whilst detectives continued their inquiries, a further report emerged relating to incidents of a similar nature back in 2009. The three victims, who were young girls at the time, reported that they had been sexually assaulted, naming Tranmer as the perpetrator.
Tranmer was then voluntarily interviewed during which he again denied the allegations.
After assembling evidence against him including obtaining witness accounts, police charged Tranmer with eight counts of sexual touching against girls under 13, and one count of sexual touching against a boy under 13.
The leader of the investigation, Detective Constable Rebecca Davison from our Protecting Vulnerable People unit, said: “I would like to start by commending the bravery of the young victims for reporting the abuse Tranmer had subjected them to."
“I would also like to thank the witnesses and friends of the victims who came forward and were willing to stand in court to give statements."
“Daniel Tranmer is a manipulative sexual predator who exploited and abused vulnerable and impressionable young girls over a number of years."
“Despite repeatedly denying these offences, the bravery and courage shown by the victims throughout the investigation and court proceedings has ensured he is now behind bars where he belongs."
“Whilst this result will not take away the suffering they have endured, I hope today’s sentence and the fact Tranmer will remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life provides some level of reassurance that he is now being held accountable for his despicable actions."
“We always treat cases of this nature with the utmost seriousness and sensitivity and would encourage anyone who has experienced recent or non-recent sexual abuse, or anyone who believes someone they know is suffering at the hands of a person like Tranmer, to please tell someone."
“When you are ready, you can report crimes of this nature via our non-emergency number 101 or always call 999 in an emergency."
“If you are not yet ready to talk to the police, you can take that first step and speak to a number of independent support networks and partner agencies who can offer help, advice, and support independently, and unless someone is in serious danger, they will not disclose anything to us unless you consent.”
