LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office says a man has been sentenced to 20 years after pleading guilty to sodomy charges.
LCSO said on Thursday, Ray Thomas Burrow pleaded guilty to first-degree sodomy in a case involving a child under 12.
The sheriff’s office said in June 2020, it received a report of child sex abuse, which was investigated with help from the Limestone County Children’s Advocacy Center and the Limestone County District Attorney’s Office. After that investigation, Burrows was indicted by a Limestone County grand jury in January of 2021, according to authorities.
LCSO said Burrows has been sentenced to 20 years in the Alabama Department of Corrections and will be required to register as a sex offender after he is released.
Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin said the case shows the importance of strong law enforcement partnerships.
“Protecting the most vulnerable members of our community will always remain a top priority for the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office,” he said. “This case highlights the importance of strong partnerships between law enforcement, advocacy groups, and prosecutors in bringing offenders to justice and protecting children from harm.”
