BBC Broadcaster Stuart Hall has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for sexually abusing under age girls.
Hall, 83, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, admitted 14 offences that occurred between 1967 and 1985.
One of the girls was nine-years-old when Hall assaulted her, Preston Crown Court heard.
The BBC said it was "appalled" that some of Hall's crimes took place in connection with his work at the corporation.
Hall's barrister Crispin Aylett, in mitigation, told the court the former broadcaster had "all of 13" victims compared to Jimmy Savile's 1,300.
One count of rape will lie on the court file.

How on earth is that mitigation? 13 counts - and apparently one of the victims said she knew there were others who chose not to come forward. Mitigation because he wasn't as prolific as Savile ?
Never heard of anything quite so stupid and insensitive.
