This is the view of PR practitioner, and kiss-n-tell tabloid story specialist Max Clifford, 70, who has been charged with 11 counts of indecent assault on 7 teenage girls aged 14 to 19 over the period 1966 to 1985.

The charges are part of Operation Yewtree, launched by the Met in the wake of the Savile revelations, and are denied by Clifford.
