Thread: Mark Burton: Investigated for Possessing Child Pornography

Mark Burton

Mark Burton has been remanded in custody after being charged with two sexual offences.


Mark Burton was arrested only days after May's council elections and was charged with two offences, one against a child.


Councillor Burton was re-elected to serve the Harrowgate Hill ward on Darlington Borough Council for a second four-year term on May 5.


The 42-year-old Labour councillor was arrested three days later and charged with an offence of sexual assault and a second for sexual touching of a child.


He later appeared in front of magistrates in Newton Aycliffe, where he was remanded in custody until his next hearing on June 15. No pleas have yet been entered.
