PR guru Max Clifford is due to appear in court later this morning after being charged with 11 alleged indecent assaults committed between 1966 and 1985.
He will take his place in the dock later this morning at Westminster Magistrates Court to answer charges relating to seven different women and girls between the ages of 14 and 19 and led to Clifford’s arrest in December last year.
This took place under the auspices of Operation Yewtree, the investigation launched into Jimmy Saville, but Clifford’s arrest is unrelated.
Instead unconnected allegations relating to Clifford surfaced in the wake of widespread publicity given to the disgraced former DJ and his crimes.
Describing the claims as ‘completely false’ Clifford has vowed to clear his name in court.
