Did Stuart Hall's victims relive their agony just for this? YASMIN ALIBHAI-BROWN says Hall's lenient sentence shows judges learnt nothing from Savile
"It started with a letter I received from one of Hall's victims...I handed it in, not at all sure any actions would follow. Four days later, I had a call from DC  Phillip Rukin, of Lancashire police, who informed me he had the letter and the force was starting to investigate Hall.
The police kept me up to date with their investigations, and were even able to locate the letter writer, with whom I finally had a conversation two weeks ago.
In the wake of Hall's conviction — but with his sentencing still to come — she sounded relieved but still a little frightened. I cannot imagine how utterly betrayed she must feel now.
She has learned that human beings deny truths they cannot bear to face up to, and thus perpetuate evil. And she must also feel that some of those at the top of society, who have the responsibility to punish evildoers, are unable or unwilling to discharge that duty.
Judge Russell is, I fear, one of those. But he is not alone..."
