He was obviously a bit eccentric and I'm not surprised at the allegations... however, remember back to the Dave Jones case.
An innocent football manager had his life and career devastated for a couple of years whilst he worked to clear his name.
It's this case alone that makes me very wary of condemning Savile until there's some concrete proof.
Something tells me It won't affect his future TV work.......An innocent football manager had his life and career devastated for a couple of years whilst he worked to clear his name.

I think in these cases even if the girls were 16 or over its still pretty gross scenario.
I mean by this that take Rotherham. If men give 15 year old girl from rough background free booze then abuse her sexually, its not suddenly OK cause they are over 16.
So in Jimmys case if this is at all true, even if they were 16 or over, its still wrong based on his profession. You cant on the one hand be a 40-50 year old doing a childrens show then after hours having sex with 16 year olds let alone 13 year olds....age here like with that teacher is a massive angle yes, but not just a case of "well if she was 16 which she nearly was then this teacher would of been doing nothing wrong.." YES HE WOULD!
Same with Jimmy...underage or not, a 40 year old childrens entertainer should not of been getting jiggy with any young girls full stop....
Totally agree, but put a different slant on it... a huge megga star / radio dj / Rolling Stones guitarist / Motley Crew drummer / film star / film director etc etc ... who gets groupies & wana be's throwing them selves at you all day and every night whilst stoned and drunk up to the eyeballs isn't always going to ask for proof of age are they? Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'roll has always been associated with famous people. Nothing can defend any older person taking advantage of his or her fame, but sometimes it isn't as clear cut as the media would have us believe.I mean by this that take Rotherham.

Why has it just been reported on BBC News at 6, that some boy from the Met he was "a predatory sexual offender who abused girls on a national scale" and has "perpetrated 4 decades of abuse"... are we not still talking 'allegedly' and all that, or does that not matter since he's dead?

I think its becoming pretty apparent now that he was up to no good with young children. Question now is "who else"..........ED209 said:

I'm pretty perturbed by what I have herd today.
Esther Rantzen has been on Radio today saying she knew of the abuse years ago. If that is the case, why as a champion of childline has she been mute on the matter?
Because she's a **** perhaps? Esther Rantzen has been on Radio today saying she knew of the abuse years ago. If that is the case, why as a champion of childline has she been mute on the matter?
