Trans woman (no) MAN MAN MAN charged with rape and sex offences against children dies before court date
Maddison Wilson had been due to appear at Southampton Crown Court to face charges of rape of a girl under 13 and causing a girl aged five to engage in sexual activity which were both alleged to have taken place in Hull, East Yorkshire, in 2011.
The prosecutor told the judge Ms Wilson was "deceased", and a coroner's court listing stated she died on 14 February.
The defendant had attended a preliminary hearing at the court only two days before.
The provisional cause of death was hanging and will be investigated - however the death was not being treated as suspicious, a spokeswoman for Hampshire Coroner's Office said.
