Publicist Max Clifford has been charged with 11 indecent assaults allegedly, including one against a girl of 14, the CPS has said.
Clifford stands accused of indecent assaults on seven separate women, aged between 14 and 19.
The first was assaulted in 1966, on a girl of 14.
Three females aged between 15 and 18 suffered five offences between 1974 and 1978.
Clifford is accused of assaulting another three females aged between 16 and 19, between 1981 and 1985..
Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London, has made a statement relating to the decision.
She said: "We have carefully considered the evidence gathered as part of Operation Yewtree in relation to Max Clifford, who was initially arrested on 6 December 2012 over allegations of sexual offences.
"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 11 offences of indecent assault relating to seven complainants."
"Mr Clifford will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 28 May 2013.
"We have also decided that there is insufficient evidence to authorise charges in relation to three separate allegations. These decisions were taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and our guidance for prosecutors on sexual offences.
"May I remind all concerned that Mr Clifford has a right to a fair trial. It is very important that nothing is said, or reported, which could prejudice that trial. For these reasons it would be inappropriate for me to comment further."
His initial arrest was carried out as part of Operation Yewtree, which was set up to investigate allegations of sex abuse carried out by Jimmy Savile.
There is no suggestion that his alleged offences are connected with Savile's.
He was originally arrested on December 6, 2012.
Indecent assault is an offence contrary to Section 14 of the Sexual Offences Act 1956. It is punishable by up to 10 years' imprisonment upon conviction in the Crown Court.
Clifford tonight said the allegations were "completely false" and vowed to "clear my name in a court of law".
