A 58-year-old man from North London has been charged with historic sexual offences against four girls, with the youngest being eight years old at the time of the incidents.
Details of the Charges
Brian Broderick, of Arncliffe Close, Barnet, has been charged with three counts of rape and two counts of sexual assault of a girl under the age of 13 by touching. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2005 and 2017, involving four separate girls who were aged between eight and 16 at the time.
Investigation and Court Appearance
The charges follow an investigation by the Metropolitan Police, which began after a woman, now in her twenties, reported non-recent allegations to the police in June 2025. Broderick, who was living in the Barnet area at the time, was also known by the alias King Bootielero.
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, where 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: “It takes a significant amount of bravery to come forward and report allegations of a sexual nature. We are continuing to support the women who have come forward.
