There's been a deluge of this stuff recently.
Priests, coaches, etc.
Awful that it happened, awful that it was tolerated.

The good news is that children will be more protected now. Men of power less protected.
Once the veil of silence is pulled, everything changes.

I don't blame the BBC. He was a vile monster who hid behind the credentials of his organisation. The BBC chairman can't be everywhere and know everything within the organisation. An organisation like the scouts or the Church is only to blame if they dont take all reasonable steps to protect children or try to cover up or deny the problem. These days anyone working with children will automatically have gone through a full Criminal Background Check before they're allowed anywhere near them. The BBC have two independent investigations going on. Anyone found guilty of taking part or covering up should be prosecuted. I'm still surprised that 300+ people have come forward with evidence and that this has been a secret since the 70s.

What I really don't understand is why all these victims was completely silent? So many years. If some of firsts victims would say it someone, anothers could be saved from same experience. I've just seen a video where Saville is staying in crowd of teens speaking to microphone and with his second hand (which is behind some girl - so not visible for camera) touches butt and breast of some another girl cca 15 y.o. - and she do almost nothing, yeah she jumps and twitches herself, but why the hell doesn't paste him slap?? It's really unbelieveable to me.
When some uninformed continental european in Britain holds open door for unknown woman which he sees going into same door 4 steps behind him. He can be easily signed as pervert, harrasing, etc... and instead "thank you" he'll hear touchy "pardon!".
But tv moderator touches kids (300!!!) on intim parts of body, and no one tell it parents or friends?!?
What is that? Puritan morality? Things what have something in common with intimity or sexuality are taboo to talk about?
Saville's affaire shows where it can lead. Current crazyness has no sense, it's off topic cos Saville is already dead. Edification from this is just to say kids that some part of body no one can touch against your will and if it happens it's neccesary to say it immediately at home or at school, and that it's not shame for victim.

A new word crossed my mind: Savilization.

Thank goodness Glitter and Savile were straight. Imagine it would have been boys. This may sound a bit rude but that's what I think. I hope the victims will find some justice.

@Sinnerr: It was in the 70s (at least afaik). There was always fear, shame and a society that probably would have said "it's your own fault, girl". That's what can make 300 girls stay silent.

People say Jimmy Savile was so clever in hiding his deceit! WRONG! Seven(7) times the police investigated and do nothing and the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to take a case to court due to insufficient evidence or the reason reason is that prominent members of the British establishment would be involved in his paedo ring!

What was clever was his diguise! Dress as a paedo and nobody would think you are one!

Many people made jokes about Jimmy Savile and the internet was rife with rumours BUT he never took action as it would open a can of worms and he would exposed.

Here are two Youtube clips about Savile when the monster was alive as MANY people has suspicions. WARNING the second video is offensive!
