Savile was een van de bekendste Britse televisiepersoonlijkheden.
Na zijn overlijden op 84-jarige leeftijd in 2011 kwam aan het licht dat hij gedurende 60 jaar honderden, voornamelijk jonge, mensen had misbruikt.

People seem very willing to believe these terrible, bizarre stories about Saville. Do people really also have so little faith in experienced, well-trained medical and security professionals/staff who supposedly allowed such a persona to have free access to all the alleged victims in hospitals, prisons, childrens homes, psychatric institutes etc. for 60 years!? So there were rumours of Saviles behaviour and yet they allowed him to continue with his evil deeds ? Authorities may well be accused of being incompetent, sometimes quite rightly, but really so incompetent and/or negligent to allow a suspected sex monster/child abuser/pervert to carry on with such heinous, despicable, sick behaviour? I don't think so. I think that the vast majority of staff are hard-working and very dedicated to their professions.
Are there written complaints in any files or records of all these institutions/ organisations when Savile was still alive? Are there any security surveillance images to be found of Saville committing any of these horrific acts? Any incriminating images/addresses/contacts/bank transactions/forensic evidence found in Savilles many homes/properties/cars or on his computer or phones at all? Is there any other circumstantial evidence to prove any of the allegations at all? If Savile was under suspicion for years (decades!?) then surely it would've been quite easy for the cops (and many other organisations for that matter) to act upon official complaints and have hidden cameras in place for when Savile abused just one of his 1000's of alleged sex abuse victims ?
If any such footage exists, I'm sure we would've seen at least some of that by now. Right?
Many of the alleged victims understandably wish to remain anonymous.
Maybe some of them are real victims of sexual abuse and would be understandably still traumatised (they just might not all be victims of Jimmy Saville) and are vulnerable.
Maybe some of it is down to false memory syndrome.
Maybe some of the victims really believed that Savile was guilty of all allegations and made false statements to help with a conviction/court case.
Maybe some of the alleged Savile victims have been paid large amounts of money by the gutter press and/or attempt to claim compensation funds. It has happened in other cases many times.
Maybe some of the alleged victims went for a ride in Jimmys Rolls Royce back in the day, had a voluntary sexual encounter and have understandably regretted it ever since. Naive young people quite often do stupid naïve things for whatever reasons. Nothing new there then.
After his death, when the 'true extent of Saviles crimes was revealed', the authorities were under public pressure when the stories about Savile broke.Maybe some of the alleged victims mentioned Saville in their statements under persuasive (putting words in peoples mouths) questioning from police officers/police psychologists/social services to get another name on the Savile victim list.
Maybe Savile was used as a patsy/scapegoat/soft target/TV character in a story used as a distraction from other cases.
Any defence lawyer would have a field day in court with the allegations.. And maybe that's why Savile was never charged with anything.
I'm not at all saying he was completely innocent.I have absolutely no doubt that horrible things do really happen. but the few Saville horror stories I have read seem to me to be extremely far-fetched to say the least .
I am not at all saying that Savile was some kind of innocent old eccentric. He may've well abused his position of power, popularity, fame, wealth etc. to take advantage of under-age girls on many occasions, which also makes him a sex offender.
For some people (including myself) he has always been a weirdo/oddball/fruitcake/cheesy,in-your-face/a bit creepy TV personality, but that doesn't make him the monster that some people claim and many have been led to believe.
What do people want? That every man or woman is arrested for inappropriate and/or suggestive sexual advances/behaviour dating back to when they were horny teenagers? In which case - we'd better build some more prisons then!
Anyhoos, I've given the Savile Scandal enough time, thought and attention.
Anyway, there are many stories regarding other subjects which have been proven to be wrong (depending on your point of view of course) but yet some people still believe them to this day.
