London, July 24 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Ronnie Barker’s son Adam Barker arrested after being on the run for a number of years. It may be recalled that he was arrested in 2003 on child pornography charges and was released on bail. He skipped his bail and fled from the country.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said that, “Adam Barker, 44, an actor of no fixed abode has been charged with five counts of making indecent images of children. He will appear in custody at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court this afternoon, Tuesday 24 July.”

The police officials looking into his case thought that he had run away to France where his siblings reside and they questioned the family members in this regard, but the family always maintained that they had absolutely no idea about his whereabouts.

The police officials also thought that Adam would surface when his parents passed and they would be able to catch him at the funeral but that was not to be. Adam didn’t attend the funerals of both his parents, when they passed away. His father – Ronnie passed away in 2005 at the age of 76 years. His funeral and memorial service was held in Westminster Abbey and it was hoped that his son would attend, but he didn’t do so.

Then in 2011, Adam’s mother Joy also passed away and again Adam didn’t attend neither her funeral nor her memorial service.
