[Although Keir Starmer was head of CPS, another lawyer was responsible for Jimmy Savile's case, Reuters and Full Fact report
Labour Leader Keir Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in 2009 when the decision was made not to prosecute TV and radio presenter Jimmy Savile, but he was not the reviewing lawyer for the case, according to Full Fact and Reuters. In 2012, Starmer commissioned an investigation to examine the decisions made by the CPS in relation to the allegations of sexual assault by Savile, which went on to criticise both prosecutors and the police for how they handled the case. When the report was published, Starmer apologised for “the shortcomings in the part played by the CPS”.
