Sir Jimmy Savile has been branded a sexual predator by a woman who claims he subjected her to sickening abuse as a *schoolgirl.

She is one of five alleged victims who have come forward to tell how the late TV star used his fame to carry out a string of serious sex *attacks, including rape, at the height of his stardom.

Some of the women claim he abused them at a school for *maladjusted girls and on BBC premises, meeting them on shows like Top of the Pops, which he called his “happy *hunting ground”.

Two say he gave them sexually-transmitted diseases.

The revelations came to light in a bombshell TV investigation carried out by former detective Mark Williams-Thomas. It has left the BBC, where Savile worked for more than 40 years, facing claims that the star’s activities were an “open secret” among some staff.

Two BBC producers even agreed to speak on camera to Mr Williams-Thomas, with one admitting he thought Savile was abusing young girls. He confesses he didn’t speak out at the time as he feared he’d lose his job because of Savile’s immense influence.

A source who worked on the *programme – Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, to be screened on ITV1 at 11.10pm Wednesday – said: “The BBC has massive *questions to answer. So many people knew, or at least *suspected what was going on, but it was never investigated. The suspicion is that it is because it was one of the BBC’s favourite sons. It’s truly shocking.”

Yesterday the BBC said there was no record of any allegations of misconduct against Savile and therefore no *investigation was undertaken.

Wednesday’s show alleges that Savile abused a girl he visited at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire, where he is *considered a hero after raising millions of pounds to build The National Spinal Injuries Centre.

He is also accused of preying on young girls he met at Duncroft Approved School in Surrey. In one chilling incident he allegedly gave a victim a copy of his 1974 autobiography, writing, “No *escape!!” and signing it, “Her keeper”
