Ex-children’s home manager charged with historic sex offences

A former children’s home manager has been charged with committing 11 historical sexual offences.

Warwickshire Police said Robert Brown, 67, has been charged with 10 counts of indecent assault, one of gross indecency with a boy, and four counts of physical assault.

In a statement, the force said the offences were alleged to have been committed against a number of children in Brown’s care between 1974 and 1980.

Brown, of Eastern Avenue, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk, was the manager of the now closed Manor Court children’s home on Manor Court Road, Nuneaton.

He has been bailed to appear at Leamington Spa Magistrates’ Court on March 4.
