Stephen Beck, a 73-year-old failed pop singer and well-known painter from Bromley, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexually abusing a teenage boy inside Anerley Town Hall. Beck, who once claimed to have been friends with David Bowie, was convicted of 15 historic sexual offences after a trial in April.
Beck, who resides on Anerley Road, was found guilty of performing a sex act on a child in the town hall, where he hosted art classes for over a decade. The abuse began when the victim was just 13 or 14 years old. The jury ruled that Beck had groomed and abused the boy, who is now in his 30s.
