David Smith was a former [[BBC]] chauffeur and convicted pedophile with 22 prior convictions against young boys, the earliest of which dated back to 1966. He was the first person to face charges under [[Operation Yewtree]], the police investigation set up after the revelations of sexual abuse by BBC presenter [[Jimmy Savile]].[^1]
Smith was found dead from a heroin overdose at his flat in Lewisham, south east London on the day before he was due to go on trial.[^1]
