Veteran BBC Presenter Charged With Rape And Indecent Assault
Veteran BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been charged with 14 counts of indecent assault and one charge of rape, Lancashire Police have confirmed.
Hall was arrested on Tuesday morning after attending a police station by appointment.
The charges relate to alleged offences going back almost 40 years.
The indecent assault offences are alleged to have been committed between 1967 and 1986 and to involve 10 girls aged between 9 and 16. The rape is alleged to have been committed in 1976 against a 22-year-old woman.
Hall was one of the BBC’s longest-serving commentators and made his name nationally as a presenter of It's a Knockout in the 1970s and 1980s, and its European equivalent Jeux sans Frontières. He received an OBE in the last New Year honours list.
He has been bailed to appear in court in Preston on 7 February.
