Says it's not part of the Jimmy Saville probe into child abuse as well, so it's probably not paedophilia he's suspected of

Detectives are quizzing the 82-year-old on suspicion of rape and indecent assault and searched his £1.5m luxury mansion in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

The force refused to confirm or deny the identity of the suspect but said in a statement: 'The man will be interviewed at a police station during the course of the day. The allegations are historic. We are not prepared to discuss further.'

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: 'It's not part of Operation Yewtree.'

John Dilworth, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said "He has been bailed to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court on January 7, 2013.

"This decision is made in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that it is in the public interest to prosecute this case."

Not much doubt there, then .....

His house was searched for six hours on Wednesday after he was taken into custody early in the morning by police

Veteran broadcaster Stuart Hall last night protested his innocence after being charged with child sex abuse.

The TV and radio legend, 82, spent the day behind closed doors at his £1.5million luxury home.

His property in Wilmslow, Cheshire, was searched for six hours on Wednesday after he was taken into custody early in the morning by police.

He was quizzed for several hours before Lancashire police charged him over historic sex abuse allegations.

Yesterday, Mr Hall’s solicitor, Louise Straw, spoke for him, criticising the way he was arrested and saying he maintained his innocence.

She said: “Stuart Hall was not afforded the opportunity to attend voluntarily at the police station.

"In due course, the decision he should be arrested will be the subject of scrutiny.

“Stuart Hall is innocent. There will be a trial and his defence will then be in the public domain.”

BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has pleaded not guilty to three charges of indecent assault.

The 83-year-old, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, entered his plea at Preston Magistrates' Court, which referred his case to the city's crown court.

He was charged in December following complaints to police about alleged incidents involving three girls aged between nine and 17.

Mr Hall was bailed ahead of his first appearance at crown court in April.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...s-8440819.html

Outlining the charges the prosecution said Hall is alleged to have fondled the breast of one girl, then aged 16 or 17, between September 1, 1974 and December 31, 1974 in Blackpool.

On a second occasion he is alleged to have molested a nine-year-old girl by touching some time between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 1983 and the third alleged indecent assault is that he kissed a 13-year-old girl on the lips, on an occasion between July 1, 1984 and September 27, 1984.

None of the alleged victims can be named for legal reasons.

District Judge Ward granted Hall bail on condition that he lives at his home address in Prestbury Road in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and that he has no unsupervised contact with children under the age of 17.

TBH, those charges, as they stand, seem rather pathetic for a man to be named, shamed and forced to go to Crown Court - in this case, I would certainly suggest a "witch-hunt" has been initiated .....

Is that what happened some time between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 1983?

The little girl told her father?

Presumably he didn't believe her then .....

Can you not answer a simple question?
What would your advice be, report the abuse from 83 or forget it?

Well, that 9-year-old is now 39 and presumably old enough to make her own mind up without a father's help .....

What "abuse"?

The 9-year-old who is now 39 tears old alleges that she was "touched" some time between January 1, 1983 and December 31, 1983

If she wants to take it to Crown Court where she will be subject to scrutiny and cross-examination on such apparently flimsy "evidence", that's up to her, but I've sat as a juror on a very similar case and the verdict went against the plaintiff, so I would suggest that either more concrete "evidence" be found or she drop the charge .....

If Hall is found "Not Guilty" he may well go after some serious "damages" - can she or her family meet those costs?

[MTVN]

The 9 year old allegation seems fairly serious but quite surprising the other two have been dragged up after so long, how can they possibly prove either way whether he fondled the breast of a girl 40 years ago particularly when they're not even sure how old she is and there's a 4 month window in which it might have happened
