<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">After his arrest in 2012, Clifford was invited on to ITV’s Daybreak, where he claimed he was the victim of a ‘witch hunt’.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Throughout the subsequent trial, he showed no ounce of remorse and regularly displayed a nonchalant and arrogant approach. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">He was jailed for eight years at Southwark Crown Court in May after a jury found him guilty of eight counts of indecent assault against teenage girls and young women between 1977 and 1984.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The judge said that if the offences had taken place today – since sentencing guidelines were toughened in 2003 – Clifford would have been regarded as a multiple rapist for which he would have been locked up for life.  </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The maximum sentence for indecent assault at the time was two years.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The 71-year-old committed the offences after luring and 'degrading' women through his celebrity connections during his high-profile career. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sentencing Clifford, Judge Leonard said: 'The reason why they were not brought to light sooner was because of your own dominant character and your position in the world of entertainment which meant that your victims thought that you were untouchable, something that I think you too believed.'</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For Clifford’s eight offences, the judge gave him a series of sentences of 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, six months, 21 months and 15 months, some to run concurrently and some consecutively, to arrive at a total of eight years. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
