Yes.



I think the BBC should let CH4 do this years.

If you are 18 years old and you have sex with a 15 year old you have broken the law and you are a sex offender, thats it. If you are 18 years old and act in an inappropriate way towards someone who is 15 years old or younger then you are breaking the law. So why pick on the "Old Stars" huh? That is just age discrimination which is illegal. I mean - If you went for a job and they told you that they don't wish to employ you because you are too young there are laws in place to stop that and employers can get fined severely.

If some 'heartless couldn't-care less jail-bait bitch' lies about her age to an older celebrity and tells him that she is 17 when she is actually 15 so he kisses, fondles and has sex with her then the law is totally inconsiderate of that and shall punish regardless. Hardly fair

Lightbulb Jimmy Savile: More arrests within days

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...y-Glitter.html

Quote:
Police have made it clear that other people – expected to include well-known entertainers as well as former associates of the Jim’ll Fix It star – will also face questioning in the coming days and weeks.

Among those thought to be of interest to the investigation team are a radio producer, a photographer and a driver, all now retired, who are likely to be asked about their knowledge of Savile’s decades of abuse.

At least one alleged abuser is reported to have gone into hiding.

Default Jimmy Savile: Family split over "monster"

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...-civil-1405620

Quote:
Civil war has broken out among Jimmy Savile’s family as his abused great-niece spoke out about the “monster” known to them as Uncle Jimmy .

But despite telling *relatives about the abuse Caroline Robinson, 49, claims she was told by her grandmother Marjorie Marsden: “Oh, don’t worry, it’s only Uncle Jimmy. I’ll sort it out.”

In an emotional interview she said yesterday her family was “split in two” over the scandal.

Caroline, who was molested twice by her great-uncle, once aged 12 and again three years later, went on: “I still think to this day, did I encourage him? I was 12 and I told my grandmother. But I look back and I wonder if she knew what he was really like.

“Certain members of the family were told not to speak to Jimmy Savile or phone him or ask for money so we never had photos taken with him. I think many of them knew what sort of man he was.”
Never trust an Uncle .....

Lightbulb Glitter arrested, now who's next?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz2AgAZ7iv6

Quote:
Detectives warned Savile’s living accomplices last week that ‘we are coming for you’, and have drawn up a detailed arrest strategy.

They have refused to discuss who will be next in line for questioning.

Others thought vulnerable to arrest include a former BBC employee who was a close associate of Savile. The Mail revealed three weeks ago how he allegedly ‘procured’ girls for the star, and has also been accused of committing rape himself on BBC premises.

Don't worry about it arista, microscope may just be playing devils advocate.
Some young men do mistake 15yr old girls for 17yr old girs...
How a thirtysomething guy mistakes a 9yr old boy scout for one is a different matter.

Arrow 'Creepy' Jimmy Savile was banned from Children in Need

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...n-in-Need.html

Quote:
Sir Roger Jones, OBE, former chairman of Children in Need said: "He was a creepy sort of character - we didn't want him anywhere near the charity."

Sir Roger, 69, was also a governor of BBC Wales at the time. He said he did not have have evidence to report Savile to management at the Corporation.

But he said Savile was banned from any involvement at the annual Children in Need TV fundraiser because of "rumours" about his interest in young girls.

Sir Roger said: "We all recognised he was a creepy sort of character.

"And when I was with Children in Need we took the decision that we didn't want him near the charity.

"We stepped up our child protection policies which again which would have put him at great risk if he tried anything.

"A charity like Children In Need knew the biggest thing to guard against was paedophiles. They were just like flies around the honey pot."
Good for Sir Roger .....

i was watching a report about this,. and what surpsised me most was the fact that in the UK, it's not illegal to see someone molest a child and not report it. That shocked me. I think there must have been DOZENS of people at the BBC over the years that knew this was going on, but they can't face any legal charges for not reporting it.

That's just crazy. In the US, and Canada, Australia, and most other civilized nations it is a CRIME to not report child abuse.

It's just mind blowing that there's nothing illegal about all of those BBC staff seeing him abusing children and not reporting it. IMO all of those BBC staff that knew what was going on and didn't report it are JUST AS GUILTY.

Arrow Three doctors 'collaborated in the abuse' by Savile

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...=feeds-newsxml

Quote:
Police have been given the names of doctors who are accused of being in league with Jimmy Savile.

One doctor allegedly ‘collaborated’ with the BBC star in selecting child patients to rape at Leeds General Infirmary.

Two others worked alongside him at Stoke Mandeville, the Buckinghamshire hospital where nurses warned children to ‘pretend to be asleep’ when Savile toured the wards.

At Leeds General Infirmary, two former women patients have come forward to name a doctor. He is accused of ‘brutal rape’.

The National Association for People Abused in Childhood charity said: ‘One of the victims has said Jimmy and this doctor used to collaborate in choosing girls and taking them somewhere else to abuse them.’

When you say "fondled", do you mean "stroked or caressed lovingly or erotically" or "examined"?

I do know the difference...
He asked a lot of rather inappropriate questions too... I was naive so just answered them.
It wasen't untill a few years after I heard he had been caught.

Nah, even though i'm skint it would be way too embarrassing vicky lol.

I agree with you again lostalex, it will be interesting to see what does transpire as to the investigations going on and I do think,if there were and still are, people at the BBC who are found to have been told things as to this but then did nothing to find out for sure, or just ignored it, then they should be brought to account for that.

As arista points out we fund the BBC through the TV licence.
If it is found that families had teens or younger involved in shows where someone employed by the BBC was able to molest and abuse them,then get their fees and also high popularity profile enhanced, then really, I hope this leads to much more and that the BBC is, in the hopefully near future, not trusted with public funding again.

However, if anyone did hear of anything, if it was ever told to them by the abused or their families and they did nothing then definitely,those people as you say are just as guilty. Their silence not only allowed this to go on as it was but to actually clearly get worse from all reports and even extend out to other areas and organisations where abuse could be carried out.
