The former celebrity publicist Max Clifford has been charged with an indecent assault allegedly committed in 1981.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Clifford, 72, was charged based on evidence collected as part of Operation Yewtree. He will appear in court later this month.
Baljit Ubhey, the chief crown prosecutor for the CPS in London, said: “We have carefully considered the evidence gathered as part of Operation Yewtree in relation to Max Clifford.
“Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Clifford to be charged with one offence of indecent assault. Mr Clifford will appear at Westminster magistrates court on 21 July 2015.”
