Artist Graham Ovenden is facing claims of sexual abuse after four girls who posed for the artist in his Cornwall and London homes have told police that the artist sexually abused them. The girls, who are now adults, were aged between six and 14 at the time of the alleged abuse.
‘What we say is that Mr Ovenden is a paedophile, a sexual abuser of children. We say the target of his abuse was young girls,’ prosecutor Ramsay Quaife told the court according to The Guardian’s report. ‘All four of the claimants are now adult women. Their allegations go back some years.’
