Adam Benton, 51, was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court last September, after pleading guilty to eight charges relating to sexual activity with a vulnerable woman over 18.
The charges relate to the period June 2017 to September 2021.
Benton was also handed a restraining order for life.
But just a few months into his sentence, on January 15, he died in what Staffordshire Police said is not being treated as suspicious, according to reports.
According to the outlet, an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman is now under way.
