It’s been more than 15 years, but Robyn Byrd is drawing again.

Ms. Byrd, 37, is one of two women who last week accused John Kricfalusi, the creator of the influential cartoon “The Ren & Stimpy Show,” of grooming her for a sexual relationship when she was a minor in the 1990s.

In a report in BuzzFeed News and subsequent interviews with The New York Times, Ms. Byrd and Katie Rice, 36, said that the animator began to correspond with them when they were teenagers.

Ms. Byrd said that Mr. Kricfalusi, now 62, first began to write to her when she was 14. She had reached out to him after becoming enamored with his work and the idea of being an animator. When she was 16, she said, he flew her to Los Angeles, where she says he touched her genitals through her pajamas.

In the summer of 1997, she lived with him while working as an intern at his animation studio, Spumco. At the time, she said, she considered their relationship romantic, though it was often turbulent. She moved out of his house permanently in 2002. By that point, the act of drawing had become so associated with Mr. Kricfalusi for her that she had all but stopped doing it, she said.
