A TWISTED mum who raped children with her depraved Tinder lover and boasted about the abuse online has been found dead in prison.
Rebecca Holloway, now 31, was less than five years into her 12-and-a half-year sentence when she was found dead at Low Newton jail, Durham.
Holloway, from Grimsby, was 26, when she and Oliver Wilson, 28, of Lincolnshire, were jailed in 2020 after admitting to committing “horrific and appalling” abuse on children.
A Prison Service spokesperson confirmed the news and said: “HMP Low Newton prisoner Rebecca Holloway died on February 13.
“As with all deaths in custody, the Prison and Probation Ombudsman will investigate.”
Police have said the death is not suspicious but an inquest will be held to determine the exact circumstances.
Holloway’s next of kin have been informed of her death.
Cops based in Lincolnshire tracked the sick pair down after finding Wilson, 28, online.
The defendant, who lives in Spalding, had shown a “great interest in buying used children’s underwear on eBay” and had shared indecent images of youngsters during web chats.
A bin-bag of soiled children’s clothing was found at his home along with a photo of a young child on his phone, and a copy of the film Lolita.
It was then police discovered the gruesome chats with Holloway about sexually abusing children.
When cops raided her home 60 miles away, they found sex toys and pictures of children – including snaps of girls’ underwear.
It then emerged a schoolgirl had been sexually abused and raped and another child was left with a sexual injury.
Judge Paul Watson QC told the couple their messages to each other were some of the most “depraved and vile” he had ever seen.
He said one of their victims had been abused in a “horrific and appalling way”.
“When she was asked how many times she had been raped by you, she could only reply ‘Lots’,” he said.
Holloway had encouraged her boyfriend to harm his victims, the court heard.
Judge Watson told her: “You played your part in the vile sexual acts to which the victim was subjected.
“You derived perverted sexual pleasure from what he was doing.
“You were a willing – even enthusiastic – participant in what happened.
“The full extent of the long-term impact on what you two did may never be known.”
Holloway, of Rutland Street, Grimsby, and Wilson, of Lincolnshire, admitted two offences of rape of a child, including multiple occasions.
She was jailed for 12 and a half years while her accomplice Wilson, was locked up for nearly 30.
Durham Police said: “On the afternoon of February 13, police were alerted to the discovery of a 31-year-old woman found hanged at HMP Low Newton.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.”
