Burrows was arrested on landing at Heathrow Airport in March after arriving from Thailand. He had been on the run for nearly three decades, with more than 20 of those years spent living in Phuket.
The 80-year-old had been wanted by Cheshire Police since December 1997 when he failed to attend Chester Crown Court where he was due to stand trial for two counts of buggery and 11 counts of indecent assault, Cheshire Constabulary noted in their initial announcement confirming Burrows’s arrest.
Burrows appeared in court on April 2, when he was remanded in custody.
The Crown Prosecution Service has now authorised additional charges against him, the Cheshire Constabulary confirmed in a statement issued late Thursday (June 20).
The additional charges are:
- 20 counts of Indecent Assault
- One count of Buggery
- Three counts of Making Indecent Images of Children
- Four counts of Possession of a False Identity Document with Intent
The additional charges relate to 11 victims and the offences occurred between 1966 and 1996 across Cheshire, the West Midlands and West Mercia areas, the Cheshire Constabulary noted in its statement.
All of the charges are set to be heard at Chester Crown Court on Aug 2.
