    The 83-year-old broadcaster faces fresh charges of sexual offences, including a rape allegedly committed in 1976.

    BBC presenter Stuart Hall has been charged with further sexual offences – including an alleged rape.

    The 83-year-old veteran broadcaster was arrested on Tuesday after attending a Cheshire police station.

    The Radio 5 Live football presenter was charged with 14 offences of sexual assault involving 10 girls aged between nine and 16 between 1967 and 1986.

    He is also accused of raping a 22-year-old woman in 1976.

    In December, Hall was charged with three counts of indecent assault against young girls in the 1970s and 80s. He denied these three charges at a court hearing earlier this month.

    Following the latest charges he was bailed to appear before magistrates in Preston on February 7.

    Hall, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, has worked for more than a half century in British broadcasting and was awarded an OBE in this year’s New Years Honours.

    He presented the It’s A Knockout show in the 1970s.

    The BBC has previously said he would not be working at the corporation while he is facing allegations.
