Jimmy Savile: Number of victims 'fast approaching 300'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20081021
Quote:
The number of possible sexual abuse victims of Jimmy Savile is understood to be "fast approaching" 300.
Last week detectives revealed the police inquiry, Operation Yewtree, had identified 200 victims.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said more victims had come forward since last week.
He said some of them had been living abroad.
Our correspondent said sources close to Scotland Yard's investigation said they were also looking at "figures of high standing" who might have helped Savile.
He said there is so far nothing to suggest a "paedophile ring" involving Savile existed - in the sense that children were passed around between adults to be abused.
But he said it is thought investigations are looking at those who may have assisted Savile, helped organise abuse, cover it up or taken part in assaults themselves.
No arrests have been made so far, though our correspondent said it is expected there will be arrests at some point.
