A MAN has been charged with a number of non-recent sexual offences at two former care homes, including one in Knutsford.
Bruce McLean, 61, of Runcorn, is facing a total of 40 charges including buggery, attempted buggery and indecent assault.
The charges follow allegations of abuse at the former Kilrie Children's Home in Knutsford between August 1980 and March 1991, and Taxel Edge Children’s Home in Derbyshire between October 1975 and June 1978.
Cheshire Police have been investigating the allegations, which relate to eight victims.
McLean is due to appear at Stockport Magistrates’ Court on February 26.
