| Red Rose Database
Bradford Sexual Abuser
Claudine Binns, a woman with a notable background as a former detective inspector from West Yorkshire Police, has recently found herself at the center of serious legal proceedings in Bradford. The charges against her involve allegations of sexual assault, which have significant implications given her previous role within law enforcement.
Ms. Binns, aged 51 and currently residing in Holmfirth, has been formally charged with two counts of sexual assault. One of these charges includes an allegation of assault by penetration, which is said to have occurred while she was off duty. The incident in question is reported to have taken place in March 2022, and it has become a matter of public record as part of her ongoing legal case.
Despite the gravity of the accusations, Ms. Binns has consistently maintained her innocence. She has entered a plea of not guilty to all charges, including a separate allegation of attempted assault by penetration. Her legal team has secured her bail, allowing her to remain free ahead of her next scheduled court appearance.
However, the case has encountered procedural delays that have postponed her trial. Originally set to be heard at Bradford Crown Court, the proceedings have been delayed until April 2026. The postponement was primarily due to an administrative error and the court’s limited capacity to handle the case within the initially scheduled four to five days. As a result, the court had no choice but to adjourn the trial to a later date.
Ms. Binns’ case continues to attract attention, not only because of her previous role in law enforcement but also due to the serious nature of the allegations. Her next court appearance is now scheduled for April 2026, and the legal process is expected to proceed with the same seriousness and scrutiny that such cases warrant.
