Police investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal have now received 340 lines of enquiry and are dealing with 40 potential victims, it was announced today.
The Metropolitan Police, which is leading the investigation nationally, has also officially recorded 12 allegations of sexual offences, but has said it expects that figure to grow.
The alleged offences date back to 1959 and the youngest victim is believed to be just nine-years old.
A spokeman for Scotland Yard said: "Officers from the Serious Case Team of the MPS Child Abuse Investigation Command will continue to contact those who have come forward, to ensure that they are given the advice and support they need.
We would once again praise the courage of, and thank everyone who has come forward to provide us with information to assist in understanding the scale of abuse perpetrated by Savile."
