BBC Personality Stuart Hall Charged With Indecent Assault A veteran BBC television and radio presenter was charged with three counts of indecent assault by the British police on Wednesday, the latest prominent figure to be questioned since a sex scandal erupted at Britain's publicly financed broadcaster. The charges are a further embarrassment for the BBC, which was thrown into turmoil when it was revealed in October that one of its former top stars, Jimmy Savile, who died last year, had been one of Britain's most prolific child sex offenders. The latest charges involve Stuart Hall, 82, who hosted "It's a Knockout" on television in the 1970s and "80s and still is featured on radio. "The offenses are alleged to have been committed between 1974 and 1984 and to involve three girls aged between 9 and 16 years," the police said in a statement.
