    UK Jimmy Savile sex abuse spread far and wide

    jimmy-savileThe Operation Yewtree report shows how Savile’s victims ranged from eight to 47 years old, including 174 females and 40 males.

    Police have released a UK map outlining the horrific geographical range of Jimmy Savile’s ‘predatory’ sex offending.

    A report released by the Met Police and NSPCC today details the huge extent of Savile’s sex abuse, which spread far and wide across

    The Operation Yewtree report shows how Savile’s victims ranged from eight to 47 years old, including 174 females and 40 males.

    It emerged that 50 of his attacks took place at hospitals, 33 at TV or radio stations, and 14 at schools.

    But presenting the daunting range of facts and figures underlying the catalogue of offences, Britain’s biggest children’s charity, the NSPCC, said “behind every number is a person who suffered”.

    The shocking police report also reveals that Savile was at his most prolific in the south east – he committed 43 offences in the Metropolitan Police area, and 30 in Thames Valley.

    A further 34 of the Leeds presenter’s offences took place in the West Yorkshire, along with 14 in Great Manchester.

    Here is a snapshot of victims who came forward to reveal their experiences:

    1960 – A 10-year-old boy saw Savile outside a hotel and asked for his autograph. They went into the hotel reception where he was seriously sexually assaulted.

    1965 – A 14-year-old girl met Savile in a nightclub. She later visited his home and was raped.

    1972     – A 12-year-old boy and two female friends attended a recording of Top of the Pops. During a break in filming Savile groped the boy’s genitals and the breasts of his two friends.

    1973     – A 16-year-old female hospital patient was befriended by Savile. He led her to an office where he kissed her, touched her inappropriately and then subjected her to a sexual assault.

    1974     – Savile took a 14-year-old schoolgirl for a drive in his car and seriously sexually assaulted her.

    2009     – A 43-year-old woman was sexually assaulted by Savile when he put his hand up her skirt while talking to her on a train journey between Leeds and London.

  • UK: Savile took girls to Leeds General Infirmary Hospital

    UK: Savile took girls to Leeds General Infirmary Hospital

    jJimmy Savile would regularly take teenage girls to a hospital block alone, a former porter has claimed.
    Terry Pratt said the late Jim’ll Fix It star was frequently handed a key to  the nurses’ accommodation building at Leeds General Infirmary during the late 1980s. Mr Pratt told the BBC that Savile would arrive at Leeds General Infirmary with the girls in the early hours of the morning and then leave before dawn.

    He said: “He would go up and the lad on the desk would say ‘Here’s the key, Jim, make sure I get it back’. He’d take the key and would walk out and the two women would follow him towards the nurses’ home. He was going into a property he had no right to go into. He wasn’t a doctor and he wasn’t a nurse.”
    Mr Pratt said he became suspicious when Savile began arriving in the middle of the night with different girls who seemed “star-struck” and were “not streetwise”.
    But nobody questioned the late presenter’s behaviour at the time, he said, adding: “We looked at him as a sort of film star, a cult figure.”
    Mr Pratt said the celebrity, who was a volunteer porter and fundraiser for the hospital, would make several late-night visits a month where he would ask for the key to the accommodation block, spend a few hours there and then leave at 5am.
    Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said it was “shocked” by the claims surrounding Leeds General Infirmary and has vowed to help the Metropolitan Police with inquiries into the alleged abuse.
    A spokesman for the trust said: “We continue to be shocked by each new allegation. It is important that they are investigated properly. Once again, we urge anybody who has any concerns to contact us so that we can pass information on to the police or to contact the police directly via the NSPCC helpline, 0808 800 5000.
    “The trust is in contact with senior detectives from the Metropolitan Police and we have indicated our intention to help with their inquiries. If there are any issues which need to be addressed following the police investigation, then we will take action.”
    Meanwhile, councillors in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, have called for his name to be immediately removed from the honour board for freemen of the borough until the Metropolitan Police concludes investigations.
