Hall Gets Another Two-And-A-Half Years For Indecent Assault

Ex-Broadcaster Stuart Hall has been jailed for a further two and a half years for indecently assaulting an underage girl.

Hall, 84, admitted carrying out an attack at Preston Crown Court.

He was found guilty of assaulting her when she was under 16.

The former It's A Knockout presenter pleaded guilty to another incident on the same girl when she was 13.

Lord Justice Turner said of his offences: "It was an act of vile bravado and horrible betrayal."

Hall is already serving a 30-month jail term after he pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting 13 other girls.
