A woman told of her “disgust” when Max Clifford allegedly exposed himself to her when she was a 16-year-old aspiring model, promising her a role in a film alongside Blade Runner actor Rutger Hauer.

The alleged victim today told London’s Southwark Crown Court the defendant went on to make her touch his private parts.

She said the publicist knew she was living in care after being abused by her father. The woman said she went to his offices in 1988 as she had heard he could help her become a model, and he told her of a potential film role.

She said the second time she went to his offices an alleged incident took place. Asked by prosecutor Rosina Cottage QC how she felt, the woman said: “Pretty disgusted at that point, and confused.”

The woman, now aged 42, described Clifford as “not well endowed”.

Clifford, from Hersham, is accused of 11 counts of indecent assault against seven women and girls. He denies all the charges. The trial continues.
