From the BBC report on Stuart Hall:

Prosecuting barrister Peter Wright QC said Hall's first victim was 16 at the time of the assault, which happened in late 1967 or early 1968.
She met Hall when he presented her with an award at a school prizegiving and he invited the girl to record some songs at the BBC studios in Piccadilly, Manchester.
The court was told Hall bought her a drink in a pub before sexually assaulting her in his car.
She burst into tears, telling her parents what had happened after Hall took her home.
Her angry father went to find Hall but he was nowhere to be seen. The family decided not to report the matter.

 

Perhaps if they had...

[Uncle Mort]

Nowt to do with money; if it had been my daughter I would have been straight down the police station.

[Barman]

I haven't followed the case...

... but how did they prove him guilty...? What evidence was there after all this time...?

I can't remember what I was doing last week - let alone in 1968... Why didn't he just deny it...?

[Uncle Mort]

Don't know. Certainly I would have sat there, arms folded and said "prove it"

Indeed... unless they had DNA proof (i.e. a baby) I don't see how they could prove anything....
