Man charged with non-recent sexual offences against children

A man has been charged following reports of non-recent sexual offending against four girls.

Byron Broderick, 58 (24.03.68), of Arncliffe Close, Barnet, was charged on Wednesday, 15 April with:

• three counts of rape,
• two counts of sexual assault of a girl under-13 by touching.

The offences are reported to have take place between 2005 and 2017 and relate to four separate girls, who were aged between eight and 16 at the time.

Broderick was then living in the Barnet area and was also known by the alias King Bootielero.

The charges follow a Met investigation that began when a woman, now in her 20s, reported non-recent allegations to the police in June 2025.

Broderick is due to appear at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, 14 May. He previously appeared at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 15 April, when he was remanded in custody ahead of the crown court plea and case preparation hearing.

Detective Constable Liam Levy, who is leading the investigation, said:
