Paedophile Stuart Hall cleared of 19 rapes but guilty of indecent assault

London: Former BBC broadcaster, Stuart Hall, has been found guilty of one indecent assault after being cleared of 19 rape and indecent assault charges.

The 84-year-old, already a convicted paedophile, showed no reaction after being cleared of 15 rapes and four other indecent assaults by a jury comprising of eight women and four men after seven hours and 15 minutes of deliberations, the Guardian reported.

At the start of his trial at Preston crown court, Hall confessed indecently assaulting one of two girls, when she was 13, but denied other charges.

He said "Thank you" to the jury at the end of the two-week trial before being led away to the cells to continue serving his sentence for earlier offences.
