Mega-City One -- The disgraced Judge Mat Bowles was today sentenced to 20 years on the penal colony of Titan after what arresting officer Judge Dredd described as "a career in corruption."

An experienced member of Justice Department, whose several textbooks on Applied Violence at the Academy of Law were considered required reading for cadets, it is thought Bowles has been taking bribes from the major crime syndicates for much of his fifteen-year career.

It is also believed he conducted many unjudicial relationships with the citizenry - a fact that was to prove his undoing. After insisting his lovers dress up in his Judge's uniform and set about him with his daystick, one eventually cracked and exposed Bowles to Jennie Rigg's crimestopping TV show "You've Been Fingered!", claiming he was "a sicko freak."

Judge Dredd said that "if Bowles has a thing about daysticks, give me five minutes alone with him."

Bowles pleaded guilty to all charges and asked for 387 other offences to taken into consideration.
