Graham Ovenden

Graham Stuart Ovenden (11 February 1943 – 9 December 2022) was an English painter, fine art photographer and writer.

Some of Ovenden's art has been investigated as possible child pornography by American and British authorities, and in 2009 he was prosecuted in the UK on a charge of creating indecent images, but he was not convicted. In 2013, Ovenden was found guilty of six charges of indecency with a child and one charge of indecent assault against a child, and on 9 October 2013 he was jailed for two years and three months by the Court of Appeal. Following his conviction, some galleries removed images of his work from display. In 2015, a judge ordered that Ovenden's personal collection of paintings and photographs be destroyed.
