Judge Dredd Artist Accused Of Child Abuse

Legendary Judge Dredd artist Ron Smith has appeared in court this week charged with sexually abusing a 13 year old girl.

The 80 year old comic book artist was a huge part of the success of Judge Dredd when he drew for 2000ad in the late 1970s and 1980s. Smith also illustrated all weekly Judge Dredd strips printed in the Daily Star newspaper.

It is alleged that during his Judge Dredd heyday in the 80s, when he worked on classics such as The Day the Law Died and The Judge Child, Smith was abusing a 13 year old girl. The Sun reports today that a 39 year old woman has accused Smith of assaulting her over a three year period over 25 years ago. She claims Smith acted out a string of sick sexual fantasies on her, including acting out a knife point rape.

Smith denies all charges.
