Broadcaster Stuart Hall admits indecent assaults

BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has admitted 14 charges of indecently assaulting girls including one aged nine.

The 83-year-old of Wilmslow, Cheshire, pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court to the offences, involving 13 victims, which occurred between 1967 and 1985.

Three charges of indecent assault and one of rape will lie on the court file.

His lawyer said Hall apologised to his victims and added: "He is all too aware that his disgrace is complete."

He has been bailed until sentencing on 17 June.

The former presenter of the popular BBC TV games show It's A Knockout in the 1970s, Hall was working as a football reporter on BBC Radio 5 Live and wrote a weekly sport column for the Radio Times magazine until his arrest.

BBC to hold separate Hall inquiry

A separate inquiry into how broadcaster Stuart Hall was able to abuse girls while working at the corporation is to be carried out, the BBC has announced.

Dame Janet Smith is currently reviewing the culture and practices of the BBC following the Jimmy Savile scandal.

But a parallel inquiry feeding into her report will be led by a different individual, due to a "potential conflict of interest", the BBC said.

Hall, 83, has admitted indecently assaulting 13 girls, one aged nine.
