The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office can finally put a child sexual abuse investigation behind them after a man was sentenced for his crimes.
Ray Thomas Burrow pleaded guilty to sodomy in the first degree involving a child under 12. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The investigation began in June of 2020 when investigators received information about possible sex abuse. With the help of the Limestone County Children’s Advocacy Center and the Limestone County District Attorney’s Office, enough cause was developed to charge Burrow. A grand jury indicted him in January 2021.
“Protecting the most vulnerable members of our community will always remain a top priority for the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin. “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.”
Burrow was sentenced on Thursday. After completing his sentence, he will have to register as a sex offender.
