Although I disliked Jimmy Saville during his life time, is it fair that all these allegations are now coming to the surface now he is dead?

/// ‘I was angry that everyone kept saying how great he was.’ Now, she says she wants to see him stripped of his knighthood posthumously. ///

One has to ask why in all those years hasn't this woman and all the others come forward before with their stories?

I disagree that the media has consistently portrayed Jimmy Savile as "saintlike". He has always been a controversial figure, largely because of his being seen as a loner, a maverick, a bit"odd" like many individuals who never marry, and seem hard to "get to know".
The sadness for me is that if the long-standing rumours about him are true it'll only add grist to the mill of the "maverick-bashers"
Mick - you still harping on about MJ? How many accusations were made about MJ in comparison to JS?

(I don't listen to his music because of my doubts about him.)
Whoah...hang on!!!

The crisp lover is DEFINITELY not dodgy in the way that Jimmy Saville was (allegedly).

Let me put a full stop to that right there.

His dodginess is something else.

Also, back to what I was saying - newspapers sit on stuff for ages. Remember when George Michael was done for public indecency in LA?

The very next days the Sun ran photos of him and his then boyfriend...pictures which they'd had for months (remember - at that time he wasn't officially out of eye closet, although many in the industry knew).
ichkeria - I'm still watching that programme Evian posted. He has to be the oddest person I've seen. NEVER had a girlfriend. That's just weird.
I always thought George Michaels "freedom 90" song was his coming out song, when he released his album "older" in the early/mid 90s I already had known he was gay for ages

/// A woman has told how she became pregnant after Jimmy Savile lured her to a hotel room and raped her when she was a 16-year-old virgin. ///

I think this woman would have had a pretty good case against him, that is if they knew about DNA 49 years ago.

How do we know she didn't pursue it. She could have hit a brick wall.

I remember telling my friend about my sexual abuse and her response?? 'I don't believe he'd do that'

Why would I tell anyone else?
That's the underlying principle that keeps these perverts safe - that nobody will believe the victim.
makes you wonder why Esther Rantzen didn't say something, considering she knew about the rumours !!!
AOG

DNA profiling only became widely used in the 1990s.

True, she could've made her allegations before he died, but again - what proof would she have? It would've been her word against his that he forced himself on her, and there would be the question of 'why did she leave it so long'?
It makes people too uncomfortable Ummm, that's how pervs get away with it.

I think it will come out that Esther did speak up.
Closing ranks amongst the rich and famous is legendary, I had a friend who was a barrister's clerk, and they all knew that a certain judge was being tried for molesting young children, he worked for the defense, and they all knew he was guilty as h***, but it was their job to get him off and they did. He said he felt sick about it all, but could do nothing or he would lose a very lucrative career!

What a world we live in!!
"ichkeria - I'm still watching that programme Evian posted. He has to be the oddest person I've seen. NEVER had a girlfriend. That's just weird. "

There must be lots of people who live "weird" lives who manage not to be sexual predators. Sadly it seems Jimmy may not have been one of them.

What was so special about Jimmy Saville, the press has never shied away from reporting on others, such as Mick Jagger?

http://www.dailymail....felong-notoriety.html
It's his fame that makes it odd. He said that he's never had a girlfriend, not even for 1 week.
Drugs and sexual abuse, how do they compare?
