A judge has told victims of a paedophile former scout leader and school housemaster that only one person was at fault for the abuse they suffered.
The Honorary Recorder of Chester, Judge Steven Everett, made the remark at the sentencing hearing of 81-year-old Richard Burrows, who systematically abused 24 young boys across the Cheshire, West Midlands and West Mercia areas between 1968 and 1995.
