The story is actually that a gay club has opened, where patrons roleplay as either Dredd or a perp. Perp does something 'illegal,' the Dredd 'captures' them, then, well, I'm sure you've read fanfics ^^
"Then he finds himself in a Dredd-themed underground gay club, where everyone dresses either as Dredd or as a perp, Dredd being the ultimate symbol of macho, leather-clad repression in this city. It's kind of a Village People deal turned up to 100 in a Mega-City One style. And then the real Dredd arrives."
I think it'll end up being a dream sequence that kid is having about Dredd. It simply isn't in Dredd's personality to run up and kiss anyone in public, let alone some random teenage boy that he doesn't even know.
That's likely what this statement from the article is alluding to:
But there is a twist in the tale, with all not being as it seems, the spokesman said.

Read the link that I posted- It's not Dredd, but a gay club where people dress up as Dredd.
So yeah, it was just a bunch of homos dressing up as Dredd:

Dredd himself busted those phags for impersonating the law:
