Christmas Tree 4725 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Aye it sounds a bit like there was a gang of these freaks. Saville was just the one that wore the uniform. Freddie Starr has already been mentioned and some well known soap star. Quite a few of those 80's DJ's looked the type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Former nurse June Thornton was recovering from an operation at Leeds General Infirmary when she says she saw Savile abuse the young girl. "She had brain damage, and Jimmy Savile came in and kissed her," she said. "He started kissing her neck, running his hands up and down her arms, and then started to molest her. Because I was laid flat on my back there was nothing I could do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Was she laid flat on her back for all these years? Still don't understand why no-one came forward with this stuff until after he was dead. How would this sort of thing be proven anyway? Obvious in cases like rape you have semen/injuries but how do you prove something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I imagine people did come forward but nothing was done about it for whatever reason. This many people can't be lying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I imagine people did come forward but nothing was done about it for whatever reason. This many people can't be lying though. I think that but then I think if this many people were abused (sure I heard earlier the police were investigating 140 odd reports) it's staggering that nothing at all has come out. Just don't understand how it could have all been swept under the carpet. Edited October 10, 2012 by Gejon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15527 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I suppose you only have to look at the long list of child abuse cover-ups in the Catholic church to see how committed people can be to ensuring the ugly truth doesn't come out. But in that case at least the motivation is/was fairly clear, whereas here it's less obvious why nobody squealed - the power equation doesn't seem as hugely stacked against the victims, nor should the people employing Savile and co. have been worried about the possibility of hanging their bankable talent out to dry. In theory at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Supposedly a life title which expires on death so can't be revoked as such. You're right. He lost his sir when he died. For some reason I think it's got something to do with him not being married but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleeToonFan 1 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 What's taking away the Sir actually gonna do? Investigate those sick bastards who are still alive and thought it was okay not to come out over this and think about petty things like titles later. Not as if all knights are angels anyway.

Not really the best topic to play devils advocate over. I'm hardly defending pedophiles now am I? And if hes found not to be guilty (unlikely as that may be) there has been no verdict passed that I've seen, then his grave will be put back and hell be referred to as sir again. If he's not a sir then fair enough cats already done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30611 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 You can't really pass verdict on a dead man afaia. Anyway, I agree with Gejon that it's strange that given the sheer number of his alleged offences that very little of this has come out before.
