Jimmy Savile
« on: October 01, 2012, 12:14:40 PM »
The late Jimmy Savile's activities are now under scrutiny with accusations of his abuse to young girls - the papers are claiming.
ITV is running a documentary on Wednesday evening saying that the BBC knew of this?
'If' this is true then these people need to be brought to justice.

Always annoying when these types of accusations are brought up after death.
of course the laws regarding slander and Libel don't apply to the dead and they have no means of defending themselves.

To be honest, Its not like the courts or anyone else for that matter can do much about it. Why not just let them rest in piece.

Never particularly liked the guy, but admired his tireless charitable efforts.

Watched the ITV1 documentary 'Exposure' last night and there were some of his victims telling how they were abused by him, if this is true (and what evidence have we to decide categorically one way or the other?) it is truly sickening. It's just a shame that these accusations weren't aired prior to his death and he could have attempted to defend himself in court.

Some of his abused victims (plus one 'witness' of him groping a young girl in his dressing room) said that they hadn't spoke out earlier as they thought that, as he was a 'star', they would believe him rather than them.

He was also heard on a taped interview to apparently stick up for Gary Glitter, to me that says a lot about the man.

In one respect I agree that he should be left in peace - but - on the other hand his victims are still suffering.

I agree the victims need closure, the thing with todays society is more people are speaking out against abusers, having been a victime myself its a hard one to grasp will people believe if you told and whose side will people choose. If we do look at Gary glitter he was put away for his crime and was a generally famous person not all courts can be bought off with it.
On the other hand I would also feel that now he is dead he can't hurt anyone like that again!

urgh they are groping at straws anything for the media to get their mitts on -_-.
Just a pity not every other peado makes it to the news eh.... (sorry was a bit low)

OC I see it as making me a stronger person for being able to speak out about abuse, no-one should ever have to hide such horrific acts, yes it affects me but my God ive come a long way since then....

IMO Freddie is probably innocent maybe he isnt, would only take a court, judge and evidence to prove either way.

I can't get into my head why people would want to do the taboo, kids, animals etc.
It just doesn't sink in
Matthew Kelly suffered this sort of media abuse years ago. I felt sorry for the guy  :'(
He got totally exonerated.

I hope,  :(  This Freddie Star sh**, is just that  >:(

I can understand victims being afraid to speak out but adults who witnessed what was going on and kept quiet must take some blame for future incidents
