DJ and TV presenter Jimmy Savile dies, aged 84

29 October 2011 Last updated at 17:59 GMT
 
Savile, who was one of the most famous names on British TV and radio in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, died on Saturday.

Police said they were called to his home in Leeds, but that there was nothing suspicious about his death.

Police to investigate Jimmy Savile
6:07 AM Wednesday Oct 10, 2012

...An ITV television documentary televised last week contained accounts from women who claimed they were sexually assaulted by Savile when they were children, in some cases on BBC premises.

 Commander Peter Spindler, head of specialist crime investigations, told reporters his team were following 120 separate leads.

"It is too early for us to give you an accurate picture of what 120 lines of inquiry will distill down to but we believe we will come up with between 20 to 25 victims,'' Spindler said. ...

Headstone removed from cemetery
The headstone, which was inscribed with the epitaph "It Was Good While It Lasted" and verses composed by a family friend, will now be destroyed.

this whole saga is sickening ......

lets attack the dead guy he cat talk ...

how come its taken till he dies for anything to come out in the media ?

no matter what he did or didnt do [ and we cant confirm 100% as hes dead ] the action taken towards him imo are unjust ...

now if the BBC is  investigating claims of sexual abuse and harassment against nine staff members and contributors then it had better start naming names ....

Jimmy Saville is DEAD he cant defend himself ...

fark and they say its all about the victims and we have to believe and protect them ... yeah right especially when the so called bad guy is dead and cant defend himself

Saville was 85 when he died and some women probably not much younger have remembered what happened when they and Saville were kids ....

the sooner statutes of limitation are bought into law for sex crimes the better imho ....

If you read the whole story you would have seen that allegations were raised in a documentary as early as 2000 but the BBC shelved it. Imho there is no smoke without fire.

re http://xtranewscommunity2.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,12404.0/msg,138692.html

You ask how come its taken till he dies for anything to come out in the media ?

Seems to me that oversexed teen "fans" are fair game for the object of their admiration in all the media: in entertainment, sport, you name it: they're there in screaming hordes these days.

Back in the 50s and 60s when most of it seems to have happened they were probably a wee bit more in awe of popular entertainers, and were also probably a little less aware of ummm "innappropriate touching" and probably would not be believed if they had ummm "blown the Whistle"on him
see http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jimmy-savile-molested-teen-moments-1378390

and "She claimed yesterday she was molested twice by her great-uncle, once aged 12 and again three years laterKNEW ABOUT IT BUT KEPT QUIET FOR THE MONEY???
"http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jimmy-saviles-sister-marjorie-marsden-1393789

There's heaps of stuff about it. Take your pick then rethink your post, Newt
http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/sir%20jimmy%20savile

Seems to me there should have been an inquest,  I think he may have/should have? committed suicide/been murdered.

Yep this isnt 'wait till he is dead' .. hhis name has been bandied about for a while in connection with this.

Why anyone would think there should be a statute of limitations is beyond me .. I suspect they are ones who have never ever struggled with their own knowledge that something so horrid happened to them and they cannot speak it.

HINT: I have trouble with slow downloading of vids at present so I minimise the page and carry on with other sites then replay when the download finishes
 
this vid is shown on http://swns.com/news/jimmy-savile-scandal-bbc-covered-abuse-friends-prince-charles-claims-bill-oddie-26272/ I used the "watch on youtube" option

 


As far as I know I have been on frequent-visiting terms with 4 families where a member was later accused of molestation of other family members, 3 were charged and one died before the accusation was made. Dunno whether any of them actually admitted it.

Looking back it seems to me there were signs that made me feel uncomfortable at the time.

There is at least one guy still living who I haven't seen in the last 30 years about whom I have my doubts, and two females.

new Tui Billboard ...

Savilles Victims dont want Cash ..... YEAH RIGHT !!!!!!


Victims of the sordid Jimmy Savile affair must not be paid off with license-holders cash – apologies must come from the BBC AND the Savile family

Financial compensation is now being spoken about as the horrid details of Jimmy Savile’s crimes become more apparent every day and his victims are expected to sue the BBC for its part in covering up this whole sordid affair. But why only the BBC…? the family of Savile knew for decades what he was doing, his own sister watched as he assaulted her grand-daughter at a family reunion but did nothing because Savile’s wealthy lifestyle financed her own creature comforts. Savile lavished money and expensive gifts on his relatives – no wonder none of them spoke up. They are complicit in their own way for allowing this man to continue his rampage of child abuse for so long.

No financial compensation should be paid. Taking money for having suffered his crimes is like paying them for being assaulted again and that is what Savile did – he offered bribes and treats to those girls in return for being victims. An apology from the BBC and from Savile’s family should be mandatory – from the BBC for covering all this up and from the family for sitting on this knowledge from the very beginning and not reporting him for fear of upsetting their wealthy benefactor.

Savile 'thought he was untouchable'
Lema Samandar,
AAP
November 22, 2012, 3:28 pm

Another documentary on British network ITV has revealed more claims of abuse by former BBC TV presenter Jimmy Savile.

...Lawyer Liz Duck told the program she was representing nine women who claimed they were abused by Savile at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

"Some of them have had their lives destroyed (by Savile)," Duck said.

"Several of the victims did report matters to members ... no action was taken." ...

http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/15446028/savile-thought-he-was-untouchable/

This is becoming ridiculous imo.
