A 58-year-old man from Barnet, Byron Broderick, has been charged with historic sexual offences against four girls. The allegations, covering incidents between 2005 and 2017, involve three counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault of a girl under 13 by touching, police said. The offences reportedly took place when the victims were aged between eight and sixteen, and Broderick was living in Barnet.
