Jimmy Savile was a strange person. He wore velour tracksuits, was never seen in the company of a woman, and raised millions of pounds for charity, all while looking permanently aged and like an old great uncle. Kids loved him. It turns out – after his death – that he may have loved kids too.

It’s a terrible thing to say, but there are serious allegations being laid at Savile that he molested and raped at least 30 different young girls during his time as a DJ and TV presenter. Commander Peter Spindler of the Metropolitan Police has said that “it is quite clear from what women are telling us that Savile was a predatory sex offender.”
