this one's creepier but it's a close call
 
What a strange person you are.
Somebody makes a comment to me about Jimmy Savile and I have a story about everything - ha ha.
Get a grip.

I like how you call me strange, cute ;)

Savile was a big strong lad who was an ex wrestler and very fit.
I expect that the abused would be scared of him.

Yeah... I think it was probably more to his status within society, he was bomb proof. As I've mentioned, he spent eleven christmases with the Thatcher, he had raised considerable money for charity and was a much loved television personality, he had friends in very high places.

I think anyone that was alone making an accusation against someone in that situation was going to find it daunting especially after the ordeal they would have suffered, then to take on someone with that power?
 
My girlfriends best friend was groped by Jimmy Savile back in 1978 in the back of his camper van back. She was a journalist interviewing him when he tried it on. She was actually 26 at the time but looked very much younger. Amongst the things he said were how he could kill an alsation dog with his bare hands, and why don't they go back to her place to continue the interview. She is currently helping Scotland Yard with their enquiries. How's that for an eye witness account? :) I fully expect someone to post in a minute "She was obviously asking for it"

She sounds like a terrible journalist.
 
Brad Pitt and George Clooney have agreed to make a film about Jimmy Savile's life. It's going to be called "Oh, she's eleven?!"

Personally I don't think a 14/15 year old girl would have those thoughts going through her head especially in the 60s when Thatcher wasn't even milk snatching yet.
 
The nurses, parents, guardians and the peeps at the beeb certainly did. According to their own reports Jimmy would always respond with threats like "Well, all the money I raise. Would be a shame to see it go to another hospital." Jimmy's own aide said as much, too.

Yeah, I think that's a definite from all the witnesses but I don't think 15 year old girls respond the same way to such threats.
 
Totally different culture back then. People so scared to be whistle blowers even for something as serious as this, too much shame and fear involved, society is much more open now with the internet, globalization, the lefties, the USA's war on terror etc....

Looks like the 10's will be the decade where a lot of wrongs from the past few decades are opened up and justice is attempted.
