Judge blasts Clifford as he jails him for 8 years

Disgraced PR guru Max Clifford, 71, was blasted by a judge for his arrogance as he was jailed for eight years for a string of indecent assaults on four women.

He finally fell from grace after decades influencing the media when he was convicted of eight counts of the crime, carried out between 1977 and 1984.

Passing sentence at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Anthony Leonard told him his personality and position in the public eye were the reasons his crimes were not revealed earlier.
