Stuart Hall was jailed after admitting indecently assaulting 13 girls (Reuters
Stuart Hall has been found guilty of one count of indecent assault.

Disgraced BBC broadcaster Stuart hall has been found guilty of one count of indecent assault against an underage girl, but cleared of a series of rape allegations.

Hall, 84, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, was accused of 15 counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault between 1976 and 1981.

He denied all the charges, but pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault against one of his victims before the trial at Preston crown Court started.

Hall will be sentenced on 23 May for the further indecent assault charge.

Hall is already serving a 30-month jail term after admitting to indecently assaulting 13 girls as young as nine between 1967 and 1986.

The latest accusations were brought against him after he was sentenced for the previous charges. Hall said his two latest accusers were only trying to get compensation following his previous convictions.

Hall was cleared of seven counts of rape against one alleged victim between 1976 and 1978 – five of which were alleged to have taken place when the girl was under 16 - and eight counts of rape against a second alleged victim between 1976 and 1981. One of the rapes was alleged to have taken place when the complaint was under the age of 13.

He was also cleared of three counts of indecent assault against the same complainants.

Known for his distinctive football commentating style and presenting It's a Knockout, the veteran broadcaster was stripped of the OBE he was awarded in 2011 after his conviction of child sex offences in 2013.
