I fear that he does 'look' guilty from what's coming out. But trial by media is not the way to go. Whole thing makes me glum.

Just reading in The Metro of a nurse who was in hospital recovering from an operation herself and witnessed Sir Jimmy molesting a mentally handicapped girl. As she says "there was nothing I could do". Well maybe not at the time, but you could have spoken up afterwards.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I don't doubt he was a dirty old lech but some of these stories are so far fetched it beggars belief e.g. there was a hospital patient on the news this morning claiming that while she was in hospital it was kind of a standing joke that when he was due to arrive, the nurses would say whose gonna be the lucky girl today to be taken to his room! She claims the nurse told her to pretend to be asleep till he'd gone! Yeah right!
I cannot believe in a million years, even in the 70's that this would be acceptable practice, kinda like the morning doctors round, sheesh.
Trouble is of course, if there really are any real victims of real abuse, their claims will be devalued to the point of dismissal by this wild rumour making.
And yeah I agree with the poster who said 'compo?'Comment

She said: ‘[The girl] had brain damage and Jimmy Savile came in and kissed her.
‘I thought at the time that he was a relative. Then he started kissing her neck and running his hands up and down her arms and then started to molest her. Because I was laid flat on my back, there was nothing I could do about it.’Comment
