Disgraced: Stuart Hall has been accused of giving his mansion to his wife to protect his fortune

Serial sex offender Stuart Hall has been accused of giving his mansion to his wife to protect his fortune from compensation claims made by his victims.

The former It’s A Knockout presenter is being sued by at least six women in relation to harm and injuries they suffered at his hands.

But the Daily Mail can reveal that in the weeks before he admitted his guilty plea the 83-year-old transferred the ownership of his £2million Cheshire mansion into the name of his wife.

Last night it was claimed the move could be an example of ‘asset stripping’ by the broadcaster to stop his victims from making claims against his fortune.

Alan Collins, a solicitor from Pannone is representing more than 50 victims of Jimmy Savile in their compensation claims against his estate and the BBC. 

He is now representing six of Hall’s victims who want to sue him for compensation. Mr Collins is also considering taking action against the BBC on their behalf.

He said: ‘Hall’s admission of guilt means we will be able to pursue these cases expeditiously on behalf of our clients.

‘Victims often live with the memories of the abuse hidden away at the back of their minds for years and it is particularly brave of such victims to come forward and face those memories.’
