In a case that has shocked the local community of Windsor, Kenneth Burman, an 86-year-old resident of Sheepcote Road, was formally sentenced to a six-year prison term at Reading Crown Court on Friday, May 13. The conviction stems from a series of disturbing allegations involving the sexual abuse of young boys over a span of several years.

According to court records, Burman was found guilty by a unanimous jury of five counts of indecent assault. These offenses occurred between the years 1972 and 1980, during which he targeted boys under the age of 16. The details of the abuse, which have now come to light after decades, have caused significant distress among the victims and their families, as well as widespread concern within the Windsor community.

The court proceedings revealed the disturbing nature of Burman’s actions, which took place over an extended period, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior. The judge emphasized the seriousness of the crimes and the impact on the victims, underscoring the importance of justice being served after such a long delay.

Burman’s conviction and subsequent sentencing mark a significant moment in the ongoing efforts to address historical sexual abuse cases. The community of Windsor, which has been grappling with the revelations, now faces the difficult reality of these past crimes and the need for continued vigilance and support for victims of abuse.
