Stuart Hall jailed for indecent assaults | |
(34 minutes later) | |
Ex-BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been sentenced to an extra two years and six months in jail for two counts of indecently assaulting a girl. | |
Hall, 84, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, was found guilty of one count of indecent assault on 16 May in a majority jury verdict at Preston Crown Court. | |
At the beginning of the trial he admitted indecently assaulting the same girl when she was aged 13. | |
He was also cleared of 15 charges of rape and four of indecent assault. | |
The charge Hall admitted involved an incident at a dinner party where he crept into his victim's bedroom and assaulted her. | |
Hall, who was accused of abusing two girls between 1976 and 1981, is already serving a 30-month jail term after he pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting 13 other girls, one as young as nine. | |
The abuse occurred between 1967 and 1985. His original 15-month sentence was later doubled at the Court of Appeal. |
