On trial: PR guru Max Clifford is accused of 11 counts of indecent assault (Picture: PA)

The jury in Max Clifford’s indecent assault trial burst into laughter and had to leave court today after hearing graphic evidence about the size of his manhood.

They failed to contain themselves after a witness said the PR guru had a ‘huge’ member.

When it was pointed out this contradicted claims from other alleged victims that it was ‘tiny’, the woman commented: ‘I have a small mouth. I do, my dentist has always said…’ Members of the jury burst out laughing and it was asked to leave the box.

After the jury returned, judge Anthony Leonard QC asked them to ‘settle down’. He said: ‘It is inevitable in a case dealing with this sort of graphic detail that members of the jury want to burst out laughing.




‘But we have got to remember we are dealing with serious allegations.’

The witness told London’s Southwark crown court she visited Clifford in 1983, when she was 17, because she wanted to be a model. He told her to take her dress off so he could see her figure and, when she complied, began groping her breasts.

Clifford’s wife phoned up and – as he spoke to her – he began masturbating, the woman said, adding he had tried to make her pleasure him.

The publicist, 70, denies 11 assaults on seven women and girls.

The trial continues.
