A 'depraved' paedophile Radio 1 DJ who was a friend of Jimmy Savile has died in prison.
Denning in 1997
Chris Denning was serving two 13 year prison sentences after being convicted of sex offences against boys as young as eight. His death at the age of 81 in hospital from diabetes last year has only just been disclosed in a prison watchdog report into his care in prison. He was being held at HMP Bedford at the time of his death last June.
Denning found fame in the 1960s as a BBC DJ and once held a party in the home of notorious paedophile Jimmy Savile In addition to using his fame and showbiz connections to dazzle his child victims, he opened a string of computer game shops to lure boys for abuse.
Denning was one of the original Radio 1 DJs in the 1960s
Denning hosted shows on Radio Luxembourg, where he interviewed The Beatles, then hosted shows with Kenny Everett for the BBC. He was one of the founding DJs on BBC Radio 1 and was the first voice ever to speak on BBC2.
He left the BBC for Decca Records, then moved to Bell Records, where he helped to launch the careers of paedophile Gary Glitter and the Bay City Rollers. Their manager, Tom Paton, was convicted of gross indecency involving boys aged 16 and 17 and is alleged to have been a paedophile.
But in the 1970s Denning was exposed as a sex offender. He was convicted of gross indecency in 1974. In 1988, he was jailed for three years for indecent assault and possessing indecent images. In 1996, he was prosecuted for publishing indecent articles.
Despite his numerous convictions, he was invited in 1997 to participate in a 30-year anniversary reunion for BBC Radio 1, alongside Terry Wogan, Tony Blackburn and John Peel. It was later revealed that he was already a convicted sex offender in Europe before he ever found fame in the UK.
He was prosecuted in 1959 in Germany for circulating pornographic images. In the late 1990s, Denning relocated to Prague, where he was accused of running a paedophile ring.
Denning had photographed himself abusing boys he picked up from amusement arcades and swimming pools. He represented himself in that case and delivered a record 44-hour closing argument, which only ended when the judge cut him off.

He was convicted of abusing boys under 15 and jailed. In 2001, it was announced that police were seeking to extradite Denning from the Czech Republic to question him under Operation Arundel – the investigation into paedophile offences linked to the Walton Hop – a disco for teenagers.
That was the operation that saw former DJ Jonathan King convicted of abusing boys. The extradition failed and Denning went on the run after his Prague sentence ended, first settling in Slovakia. In 2005, The Sun newspaper tracked him down in Austria, which promptly deported him to England.
The following year, at Kingston Crown Court, he admitted five charges of abusing boys under 16 and was jailed for four years. After the Kingston case, Denning was extradited to Slovakia and sentenced to five years for producing indecent images of children.
