It must be something in the northern water? There's the other guy, Michael Le Vell, from Corrie that's up on charges as well. Which reminds me Len Fairclough (Peter Adamson) was done for touching kids in the swimming baths in 1983. Who's next?

Live: Reaction to Max Clifford verdicts

39 minutes ago

Reaction as publicist Max Clifford is found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault against women and girls as young as 15.

Mr Clifford, 71, was cleared of a further two counts and the jury failed to reach a verdict on another count.

Publicist Max Clifford has been found guilty of eight indecent assaults on women and girls as young as 15 by a jury at Southwark Crown Court.

The 71-year-old, from Surrey, was found guilty of a string of charges over a period of nearly 20 years.

He was cleared of two charges of indecent assault, while the jury failed to reach a verdict on another charge.

Clifford, who is the first person to be convicted under Operation Yewtree, was bailed and will be sentenced on Friday.

Judge Anthony Leonard QC warned him that the fact he was granted bail was no indication of the sentence that would be passed.

Clifford was arrested by detectives from Operation Yewtree in December 2012, and charged in April the following year.

BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the verdicts were "hugely significant" as the first Operation Yewtree conviction.

During the trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a well-practised manipulator, who promised to boost his victims' careers and get them to meet celebrities in exchange for sexual favours

One should imagine that a veritable slew of dirt will be released about establishment figures from his files now.

^ Doubt it. I would expect a number of them will be on the phone offering to enrich his bank account though.

Didn't Clfford say he had a dossier of info that he may publish?

Better do it quick before they suicide him.. he could write a huge best selling expose. Money woukd not be a big a driver as revenge one woukd guess. Years protecting these filth mongers and they throw him to the wolves.

Some details from the trial.


THE BIG QUESTION ABOUT A TINY DETAIL: HOW THE TRIAL TURNED ON THE SIZE OF MAX'S MANHOOD - AND THE JURY WERE REDUCED TO GIGGLES

Throughout the three-week trial, witnesses repeatedly returned to one small point: the size of Max Clifford's penis. Variously described as 'freakishly small' and 'enormous' (and by a doctor who examined it as merely average), at one point a description of it proved too much for the jury, and they had to be sent out by the judge after the courtroom dissolved into fits of giggles.

Clifford's lawyer Richard Horwell QC had told jurors that the prosecution's case was undermined by the size issue. But during the evidence of one witness, jurors had to be sent away and warned to 'settle down' by the judge after some of them were overcome with giggles. A former model had been telling Southwark Crown Court she had thought Clifford was 'well-endowed', but added: 'I have a small mouth. I do, my dentist has always said...' As a blonde female juror burst into laughter, Judge Anthony Leonard said: 'Whoa whoa...we are going to have a short break.'

After the jury filed out, hoots of laughter could be heard from behind the closed door. When they returned, the judge said: 'Members of the jury, it is inevitable in a case dealing with this sort of graphic detail that there will be times when members of the jury want to burst into laughter... but we have got to remember that this is a court of law and we are considering serious allegations. Can I ask you to settle down?'

Clifford's GP had determined his penis to be five-and-a-quarter inches, when not aroused, lawyers said, which was of 'average size'. He added: 'It is certainly not freakishly small and certainly not enormous.' He said this contradicted the testimony of four women who gave evidence - one of whom said it was 'tiny', another 'freakishly small' at 'two and a half inches', a third who said 'small', and the fourth who called it 'enormous'. The publicist was accused of telling women: 'Is this the smallest you have ever seen?' while abusing them.



daily mail.


Snigger, snigger.

^ "y'know" .... "y'know" ..... " y'know" .... "like, innit mate?"

Try reading up on abused people it may help you understand, what they live with through being abused.

Never happened to us so how can we know the guilt shame they carry around.

My thinking too, as with Rolf Harris. If someone had abused me forty years ago then I would have wanted everyone they knew to know, in order they didn't try it with someone else. I sure as hell wouldn't leave it forty years before complaining about it. The entire issue strikes me as weird and I wonder what "evidence" there could have been other than word of mouth.

Maybe you should read more about the case and the evidence that was offered instead of just taking a position without any facts.

Informed opinion?

They have that here?

Depending on who he's got dirt on he may well end up being helped into suicide.

I've always loathed Clifford, however, I sincerely hope that he has a dodgy dossier somewhere and takes down them all. I imagine that its existence is what is keeping him safe and as soon as the spooks find and destroy it, he is a dead man.

Because a lot of people, particularly young ones, don't want to tell people they have been diddled with.

I think you as a middle aged man, perhaps may less inhibitions . That's fair enough.

My neighbour for instance is a lady in her mid sixties. Now she is quite relaxed about talking about the celebrity who used to serially grope her baby-teen titties. He was a presenter on a British antiques programme. (At the time she kept it to herself - he didn't rape her).

Because he is dead now, are you talking about "A N" per chance? He had an OBE which seems to be the mark of distinction for kiddy fiddlers.

Watched a programme a few years back, a few pensioners invested their hard earned into some building scheme in Spain. Needless to say, they lost all their cash.

Clifford was the PR Guru behind it and something to do with the management of it.
He came across as a right coont.
Hope he rots in that prison!
