PR Guru and utterly unpleasant person, just sentenced to eight years in prison for sex crimes. Bet he thought that he was gonna get away with it too.

Max Clifford was jailed for eight cases of indecent assault. Now, indecent assault can mean many different things and the phrase has had a different meaning in the past. For example, in the 1950s, a slap on the backside would often be considered fair game and a bit of fun, as we saw in the TV sitcom, I Love Lucy. But we should not underestimate the seriousness of Clifford's crimes. It is significant that the judge said that some of the offences would be charged as rape if they had occurred today. I think it is only because they occurred 30 years or so ago against a different cultural background that he got off so lightly. BBC report

Yes I read that. Sounds very much like what he did WAS rape. This man has caused enough misery to enough people over the years.
