CPS: Broadcaster Hall was an 'opportunistic predator'

A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service has described Stuart Hall as an "opportunistic predator" after it was revealed the broadcaster had pleaded guilty to 14 indecent assaults.

He said: "The evidence of the victims clearly established a pattern of behaviour which was unlawful and with no innocent explanation."

He added the victims did not know each other and their evidence was "strikingly similar".
