Veteran BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall pleaded guilty to sex offences on Thursday, the latest British TV star from the 1970s and 1980s to be embroiled in abuse allegations. Hall, 83, who was best known for hosting the family TV show "It's a Knockout" and was still working for the BBC as a football radio commentator until recently, admitted 14 counts of indecent offences against young girls over two decades, with the youngest victim aged just nine. "Whether in public or private, Hall would first approach under friendly pretences and then bide his time until the victim was isolated," said Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor in northwest England. |
