Max Clifford found guilty of sex assaults

Charged by Britain's Crown Prosecution Service exactly one year ago, Max Clifford has today been found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault, dating between '77 and '85.

Clifford was cleared of two charges, with the jury unable to reach a verdict on one other. The 71-year-old has repeatedly denied all allegations and charges in public since he was initially arrested as part of Operation Yewtree in December 2012. He will now be sentenced on Friday.
