The prosecutor revealed Wilson, 37, was “deceased” and had passed away on February 14.

A spokeswoman for Hampshire Coroner’s Office said the provisional cause of death was hanging.

Wilson had been charged with raping a girl under 13 and causing a girl aged five to engage in sexual activity.

Both alleged offences were said to have taken place in East Yorkshire in 2011.

She had also been charged with sexually assaulting a three-year-old boy and causing a boy of the same age to engage in sexual activity.

These counts allegedly took place in Southampton in 2017 and 2020.

Prosecutor Matthew Lawson said: “The defendant is now deceased. I have seen an interim death certificate.

“In the circumstances the matter must be discontinued.”

An inquest at Portsmouth Coroner’s Court heard Wilson died in Southsea, Hampshire, two days after her first appearance.

Her death is not being treated as suspicious and a full inquest has been listed for January 20, 2026.

Hampshire Constabulary said: “Officers will continue to engage with all parties based on the current circumstances.”

Downing Street also distanced itself from proposals for more taxes on flying – insisting its green transition will “tread lightly on people’s lives”.

It came after the Climate Change Committee laid out a route to Net Zero that involved slashing the amount of meat and dairy from diets. 

It said: “Meat products will be mainly replaced by existing alternative protein products, some plant-based whole foods and, in the later years, novel alternative proteins.”

Asked if Sir Keir Starmer expected the public to reduce their meat intake, his spokesman said: “No. We’re not going to tell people what they do. 

“We’ve set out our targets, we’ve set out ambitious targets, but we’re not going to start telling people how to live their lives. 

“The government will obviously set government policy on its own pathway to achieve the next carbon budget, and will do so in a way that ensures it delivers energy security, protects bill-payers and creates good jobs.”

The spokesman also appeared to back away from a “frequent flyers” levy that would sting people who use planes a lot. 

He said: “The Prime Minister has been very clear, we will meet Net Zero in a way that treads lightly on people’s lives.”

The CCC report put the pricetag of Net Zero at £5billion a year for the next 25 years – around 0.2 per cent of total GDP. 

It says home heating costs will only be cheaper with significant government help to cushion the blow of switching from boilers to heat pumps.

Its report says: “Depending on the level of policy support, a typical household will experience somewhere between £100 in savings to £150 in additional costs per year, on average, from 2025 to 2050.”

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband previously said his eco dash will knock £300 off bills.
