Five New Charges To Be Brought Against Stuart Hall

Lancashire Police have confirmed that they are investigating fresh allegations made against former broadcaster Stuart Hall.

Hall was jailed in July after admitting 14 counts of indecent assault against girls as young as nine between 1967 and 1987.

His sentence of 15 months was doubled by the Court of Appeal after it ruled that it was too lenient.

It is understood that Hall is now facing five new charges.
