Stuart Hall sex crimes: Police probe more abuse claims | Stuart Hall sex crimes: Police probe more abuse claims |
(35 minutes later) | |
Police are investigating further allegations against ex-BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall, who was jailed last month for sexually abusing girls. | |
Hall, 83, admitted 14 offences committed against girls aged between nine and 17 from 1967 to 1985. | |
His 15-month sentence is due to be reviewed by the Court of Appeal after complaints he "got off lightly". | |
Lancashire Police said officers were trying to determine what action to take over the latest allegations. | |
The force said it was working closely with the Crown Prosecution Service to determine the "most appropriate course of action". | |
BBC inquiry | |
Hall has been a familiar face and voice in British broadcasting for half a century, and was appointed OBE in the 2012 New Year Honours. | |
Preston Crown Court heard the former It's a Knockout host was an "opportunistic predator" who used his fame to befriend girls. | |
The court heard that in the 1980s, Hall molested a nine-year-old girl by putting his hand up her clothing. | |
He also kissed a 13-year-old girl on the lips after saying to her: "People need to show thanks in other ways." | |
The BBC is investigating claims he was able to abuse girls on its premises. |
