But in rape cases they always name the accused, so as the authorities say, other victims can come forwards

That is why there is no anonymity for those accused of rape and sex crimes.

Our judicial system already assumes de facto, guilty if accused.

I'm hearing on the news that Rolf Harris is now a suspect in the ongoing operation yewtree, apparently he is "Yewtree No.5" in their ongoing investigations.

I must say if true this will shock millions of people as he is regarded as a British treasure much loved and respected by millions in this country.

If all the allegations are false then I will be similarly shocked that his reputation has been forever tarnished with his alleged involvement in this sordid affair.

I have heard from Channel Five via twitter that they have now cancelled Animal Clinic.

Can we have smoke with out fire?

I remember the song he did, Two Little Boys, am not sure I can ever listen to it again without wondering if it has a darker meaning

Jimmy Savile could have sexually abused three times the number of victims who have come forward so far, the former head of the investigation into his crimes has reportedly said.

Operation Yewtree, which is looking into allegations of sex crimes against the former DJ and presenter and a host of other celebrities, has recorded 450 complaints against him.

But a national newspaper reported that ex-Metropolitan Police Commander Peter Spindler, who led Yewtree until earlier this year, told an NSPCC conference that as well as those who came forward there were “probably double, treble that who haven’t”.

He then told the paper: “My best guess is that there are many other victims who won’t have come forward because they don’t want to talk about it.

“They’ve dealt with it, they’ve put it in the past.

“So even with the 450 that have come forward there must be many more. That’s not just true for Savile, it’s true for other offenders as well.”

Mr Spindler stepped down from Operation Yewtree earlier this month to become an Assistant Inspector of Constabulary.

At this ever-increasing toll of abuse, the appalling Savile will go down in history as a sexual "Vlad the Impaler" .....

Another household TV name is being investigated over sex abuse allegations by Jimmy Savile police.

A case file has been opened on a much-loved comedian.

Sources say police are in the process of preparing to interview him under caution.

Allegations of historic sexual abuse have been made against the TV favourite, who denies the claims.

Police yesterday refused to confirm who the much-loved comedian was.

JIMMY Savile’s holiday cottage in the Scottish Highlands is to be auctioned off by trustees of the disgraced television presenter’s estate to help fund compensation to hundreds of the victims he sexually abused.

The cottage in Glencoe became a target for vandals who daubed graffiti such as “Jimmy The Beast” on its walls after it emerged that the Jim’ll Fix It star was prolific sex abuser.

There were calls for the property, which is visible from the main public road, to be demolished. However others in the community argued Allt-Na-Reigh cottage should be sold off as a family home or preserved as a mountain rescue centre or museum.

Yeah drove past it a few weeks ago when I was on holiday, it looked pretty rundown. I don't see why anyone would want to buy it though and what exactly would it be a museum of?

Alan Collins, of Manchester solicitors Pannone, said the cottage was home to Scottish climbing legend Hamish MacInnes during the 1960s and 1970s.

Last night mountaineer, writer and broadcaster Cameron McNeish said he was pleased the cottage, which had played an important part in the history of Scottish mountaineering, was to be saved.

“It is a cottage which has a lot of mountaineering history to it and I’m pleased that there will be no further talk of it being demolished.”

Mr McNeish said that while living in the cottage MacInnes had invented some of the ice axes and tools which have since gone on to be used by mountain rescue teams.

A report by West Yorkshire Police into its relationship with Jimmy Savile is due to be published on Friday.

The findings are the culmination of a review that began in January.

Part of the report will cover regular visits by on-duty officers to Savile's penthouse apartment in Roundhay Park, Leeds.

Allegations of abuse by Savile emerged after his death. Police said the report would be passed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

In a statement, the force said: "West Yorkshire Police will tomorrow publish the findings of an extensive review into the late Jimmy Savile, his crimes and the force's relationship with him.

"As well as publication of the report, a copy will be passed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, whom matters were referred to some weeks ago."

'Breakfast club'

The West Yorkshire Police review comes after a report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, which highlighted failings by forces across Britain.

In February, West Yorkshire Police said officers who used to regularly visit Savile's home in Leeds while on duty were being investigated.

It said some officers were part of the disgraced broadcaster's "Friday morning breakfast club" and enquiries would "establish who attended and what the nature of the relationship was".

Will the coppers be bent and dirty or straight and clean .....

Yorkshire Police again, now let me have a think about that one.

A West Yorkshire Police report has found "no evidence" Jimmy Savile was protected from arrest or prosecution by his relationship with the force.

Surprise, surprise .....

[bbfan1991]

How obvious that they would try to absolve themselves of any blame, it beggars belief.
