"Paedophilic interest is natural and normal for human males, said the presentatio
n. At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to have sex with child
ren Normal males are aroused by children.
Some yellowing tract from the Seventies or early Eighties, era of abusive celebr
ities and the infamous PIE, the Paedophile Information Exchange? No. Anonymous c
ommenters on some underground website? No again.
The statement that paedophilia is natural and normal was made not three decades ag
o but last July. It was made not in private but as one of the central claims of
an academic presentation delivered, at the invitation of the organisers, to many
of the key experts in the field at a conference held by the University of Cambr
idge.
Other presentations included Liberating the paedophile: a discursive analysis, and
Danger and difference: the stakes of hebephilia.
Hebephilia is the sexual preference for children in early puberty, typically 11
to 14-year-olds.

Another attendee, and enthusiastic participant from the floor, was one Tom OCarro

ul! he wrote on his blog afterwards. It was a rare few days when I could feel rela
tively popular!

Last week, after the conviction of Rolf Harris, the report into Jimmy Savile and
claims of an establishment cover-up to protect a sex-offending minister in Marg
aret Thatchers Cabinet, Britain went into a convulsion of anxiety about child abu
se in the Eighties. But unnoticed amid the furore is a much more current threat:
attempts, right now, in parts of the academic establishment to push the boundar
ies on the acceptability of child sex.
A key factor in what happened all those decades ago in the dressing rooms of the
BBC, the wards of the NHS and, allegedly, the corridors of power was not just i
nstitutional failings or establishment conspiracies, but a climate of far greater
intellectual tolerance of practices that horrify today.
With the Pill, the legalisation of homosexuality and shrinking taboos against pr
emarital sex, the Seventies was an era of quite sudden sexual emancipation. Many
liberals, of course, saw through PIEs cynical rhetoric of child lib. But to others
on the Left, sex by or with children was just another repressive boundary to be
swept away and some of the most important backing came from academia.
In 1981, a respectable publisher, Batsford, published Perspectives on Paedophili
a, edited by Brian Taylor, a sociology lecturer at Sussex University, to challen
ge what Dr Taylors introduction called the prejudice against child sex. Disturbingl
y, the book was aimed at social workers, community workers, probation officers an
d child care workers.
The public, wrote Dr Taylor, generally thinks of paedophiles as sick or evil men
who lurk around school playgrounds in the hope of attempting unspecified beastli
ness with unsuspecting innocent children. That, he reassured readers, was merely
a stereotype, both inaccurate and unhelpful, which flew in the face of the empirical
realities of paedophile behaviour. Why, most adult-child sexual relationships occ
urred in the family!
The perspectives of most, though not all, the contributors, appeared strongly pr
o-paedophile. At least two were members of PIE and at least one, Peter Righton,
(who was, incredibly, director of education at the National Institute for Social
Work) was later convicted of child sex crimes. But from the viewpoint of today,
the fascinating thing about Perspectives on Paedophilia is that at least two of
its contributors are still academically active and influential.
Ken Plummer is emeritus professor of sociology at Essex University, where he has
an office and teaches courses, the most recent scheduled for last month. The iso
lation, secrecy, guilt and anguish of many paedophiles, he wrote in Perspectives
on Paedophilia, are not intrinsic to the phenomen[on] but are derived from the ex
treme social repression placed on minorities
Paedophiles are told they are the seducers and rapists of children; they know the
ir experiences are often loving and tender ones. They are told that children are
pure and innocent, devoid of sexuality; they know both from their own experienc
es of childhood and from the children they meet that this is not the case.
As recently as 2012, Prof Plummer published on his personal blog a chapter he wr
ote in another book, Male Intergenerational Intimacy, in 1991. As homosexuality h
as become slightly less open to sustained moral panic, the new pariah of child
molester has become the latest folk devil, he wrote. Many adult paedophiles say tha
t boys actively seek out sex partners childhood itself is not a biological given
but an historically produced social object.
Prof Plummer confirmed to The Sunday Telegraph that he had been a member of PIE
in order to facilitate his research. He said: I would never want any of my work to
be used as a rationale for doing bad things and I regard all coercive, abusive,

exploitative sexuality as a bad thing. I am sorry if it has impacted anyone nega

tively this way, or if it has encouraged this. However, he did not answer when as
ked if he still held the views he expressed in the Eighties and Nineties. A spok
esman for Essex University claimed Prof Plummers work did not express support for
paedophilia and cited the universitys charter which gave academic staff freedom wit
hin the law to put forward controversial and unpopular opinions without placing
themselves in jeopardy.
Graham Powell is one of the countrys most distinguished psychologists, a past pre
sident of the British Psychological Society and a current provider of psychology
support services to the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the National Crime Squa
d, the Metropolitan Police, Kent Police, Essex Police and the Internet Watch Fou
ndation.
In Perspectives on Paedophilia, however, he co-authored a chapter which stated: I
n the public mind, paedophile attention is generally assumed to be traumatic and
to have lasting and wholly deleterious consequences for the victim. The evidenc
e that we have considered here does not support this view we need to ask not why
are the effects of paedophile action so large, but why so small.
The chapter does admit that there were methodological problems with the studies th
e authors relied on which leave our conclusions somewhat muted. Dr Powell told The
Sunday Telegraph last week that what I wrote was completely wrong and it is a ma
tter of deep regret that it could in any way have made things more difficult [fo
r victims]. He said: The literature [scientific evidence] was so poor in 1981, peo
ple just didnt realise what was going on. There was a lack of understanding at th
e academic level. Dr Powell said he had never been a member of PIE.
In other academic quarters, with rather fewer excuses, that lack of understandin
g appears to be reasserting itself. The Cambridge University conference, on July
4-5 last year, was about the classification of sexuality in the DSM, a standard
international psychiatric manual used by the police and courts.
After a fierce battle in the American Psychiatric Association (APA), which produ
ces it, a proposal to include hebephilia as a disorder in the new edition of the
manual has been defeated. The proposal arose because puberty in children has st
arted ever earlier in recent decades and as a result, it was argued, the current
definition of paedophilia pre-pubertal sexual attraction missed out too many yo
ung people.
Ray Blanchard, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, who led the
APAs working group on the subject, said that unless some other way was found of
encompassing hebephilia in the new manual, that was tantamount to stating that th
e APAs official position is that the sexual preference for early pubertal childre
n is normal.
Prof Blanchard was in turn criticised by a speaker at the Cambridge conference,
Patrick Singy, of Union College, New York, who said hebephilia would be abused a
s a diagnosis to detain sex offenders as mentally ill under US sexually violent pre
dator laws even after they had completed their sentences.
But perhaps the most controversial presentation of all was by Philip Tromovitch,
a professor at Doshisha University in Japan, who stated in a presentation on th
e prevalence of paedophilia that the majority of men are probably paedophiles and h
ebephiles and that paedophilic interest is normal and natural in human males.
OCarroll, the former PIE leader, was thrilled, and described on his blog how he j
oined Prof Tromovitch and a colleague for drinks after the conference. The conver
sation flowed most agreeably, along with the drinks and the beautiful River Cam,
he said.

Its fair to say the Tromovitch view does not represent majority academic opinion.
Its likely, too, that some of the academic protests against the stigmatisation of
paedophiles are as much a backlash against the harshness of sex offender laws as
anything else. Finally, of course, academic inquiry is supposed to question con
ventional wisdom and to deal rigorously with the evidence, whether or not the co
nclusions it leads you to are popular.
Even so, there really is now no shortage of evidence about the harm done by chil
d abuse. In the latest frenzy about the crimes of the past, its worth watching wh
ether we could, in the future, go back to the intellectual climate which allowed
them.

Whitehall child sex inquiry: the 114 files lost

Home Office admits that it destroyed, lost or could not find potentially releva

The paedophile scandal engulfing Westminster deepened after the Home Office conf
essed to losing or destroying 114 potentially relevant files.
The lost files are part of an investigation into the handling of a dossier about
child abuse allegations presented to Leon Brittan, the former home secretary.
The dossier, compiled by Geoffrey Dickens, the late Conservative MP, is said to
implicate political figures at the heart of national life.
A review by the Home Office last year into its handling of the dossier found tha
t information it had received between 1979 and 1999 had been passed to the appro
priate authorities.
But Mark Sedwill, permanent secretary to the Home Office, has now admitted for t
he first time that his department had destroyed, lost or simply not found 114 poten

tially relevant files

He also said four new possible leads about child abuse have now been passed on t
o Scotland Yard. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Any relevant material th
at is submitted to us will be dealt with as appropriate."
A senior Tory MP and former childrens minister last night accused the Home Office
of a cover-up. Now Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is under pressure to get inv
olved in establishing what happened to the missing records. She will face demands
in the House of Commons tomorrow to explain how her department came to lose the
documents.
In recent days fresh questions have emerged about whether enough was done to inv
estigate the allegations.
Mr Sedwill wrote to David Cameron yesterday to say a new investigation would exa
mine whether the conclusions of last years review remain sound.
But in a separate letter to Keith Vaz, the home affairs select committee chairma
n, he outlined new details about the 2013 review, in which he made the admission
about the 114 files.
In his letter Mr Sedwill told Mr Vaz that Mr Dickens had submitted allegations o
f sexual offences over a number of years to several Home Secretaries, including
Lord Brittan, rather than just one single dossier.
He said the review had analysed a central database containing 746,000 files from
the period 1979 to 1999 and had identified 527 potentially relevant files, from
which nine items of information about alleged child abuse were reported to poli
ce.
But Mr Sedwill said the same analysis of the central database identified 114 pote
ntially relevant files had been presumed destroyed, missing or not found.
The admission immediately raised further questions as to whether there was an at
tempt inside Whitehall to cover up the allegations raised by Mr Dickens when he
submitted his dossier to Lord Brittan.
Mr Vaz welcomed the decision to set up a new review of the Governments handling o
f the cases but expressed deep concerns about the loss of so many files.
We obviously now realise that the first review was not fit for purpose, Mr Vaz tol
d The Sunday Telegraph. But what concerns me is the line in the letter that talks
about 114 files going missing, This is very disturbing. People will be extremel
y concerned. It is a huge amount of files about a very sensitive issue.
We really need to know who authorised it. How do we know such a precise figure? S

omebody must have known that these 114 files existed and they must presumably kn
ow the date that they went missing or were destroyed.
We know the Home Office loses passports and a couple of files here or there but 1
14 is quite a lot of files to lose. I think we do need answers to this.
I hope Mrs May will have the answers because I am a little concerned at the absen
ce of the Home Secretary from most of these deliberations over the last few days
. This is the Home Office and she is the Home Secretary and it should be her set
ting up these reviews.
Mr Vaz, a former minister under Tony Blair, added: This is a lot of material that
has gone down the tubes. We need to know how this happened.
Tim Loughton, the Conservative MP and former childrens minister, said: To lose one
file is unfortunate but to lose 114 smacks of complete incompetence or, I fear,
some degree of cover-up.
This just raises so many more questions which really must now be answered as a ma
tter of urgency.
The Home Office said the original review was satisfied it had passed to the appr
opriate authorities information about child abuse which was credible and had realis
tic potential for further investigation.
But it admitted that for the conclusions to remain valid a new examination of its
work by a senior independent legal figure was now required.
Mr Dickens, who died in 1995, told his family that details in his dossier would b
low the lid off the lives of powerful and famous child abusers, his son said. Bar
ry Dickens said his father would have been hugely angered that the allegations had
not been properly investigated.
Lord Brittan has confirmed he received a substantial bundle of papers from Mr Dick
ens when he was Home Secretary in 1983 and said he had passed them to his offici
als for investigation.
Mrs May said on Friday she would examine the case for a public inquiry into histor
ical child abuse in public life, for which 139 MPs have now called.

10:00PM BST 04 Jul 2014
More than 10 current and former politicians are on a list of alleged child abuse
rs held by police investigating claims of a Westminster paedophile ring.
MPs or peers from all three main political parties are on the list, which includ
es former ministers and household names.
Several, including Cyril Smith and Sir Peter Morrison, are no longer alive, but
others are still active in Parliament.
The existence of the list was disclosed by Peter McKelvie, the whistleblower who
se claims prompted Operation Fernbridge, the Scotland Yard investigation into al
legations of a paedophile network with links to Downing Street.
Mr McKelvie, a retired child protection team manager who has spent more than 20
years compiling evidence of alleged abuse by authority figures, said he believed
there was enough evidence to arrest at least one senior politician.

It comes as David Cameron ordered the most senior civil servant at the Home Offi
ce to conduct a fresh investigation into what happened to a missing dossier on a
lleged paedophiles in Westminster in the 1980s.
The Prime Minister told Mark Sedwill, the Permanent Secretary at the Home Office
, to do everything he can to clear up what happened to the file, which was handed
to the then home secretary Leon (now Lord) Brittan by the late Geoffrey Dickens
MP.
Separately Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said yesterday she would examine the
case for a public inquiry into historical child abuse in public life, for which 1
39 MPs have now called.

In a letter to his local MP Sir Tony Baldry last month, Mr McKelvie suggested th
at a further 20 MPs and Lords were implicated in the cover-up of abuse of children
.
Mr McKelvie, who has compiled a dossier of evidence by speaking to alleged victi
ms and care workers with whom they are in contact, does not suggest that any of
the MPs and Lords colluded with each other.
It was as a result of information provided by Mr McKelvie that the Labour MP Tom
Watson raised the issue of child abuse at Prime Ministers Questions in October 2
012. He spoke of clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network link
ed to Parliament and Number 10 that arose from the Righton case.
Following Mr Watsons intervention, the Metropolitan Police began Operation Fernbr
idge, an ongoing investigation into allegations of sex abuse at the Elm Guest Ho
use in Barnes, south London.
At least one witness is understood to have told police in the 1980s that he was
abused by a Tory MP at the guest house when he was aged under 10, but the allege
d victim has so far refused to give a sworn a witness statement to the police.
The Metropolitan Police has consistently said it is not prepared to give a runnin
g commentary on Operation Fernbridge, which is an ongoing operation.
Earlier this week it emerged that a dossier on an alleged Westminster paedophile
network compiled by the late MP Geoffrey Dickens went missing after it was hand
ed to the former home secretary Lord Brittan in 1983.
Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP who raised questions about the dossier, said yester
day he had received a dozen new allegations naming the same politician this week
.
He and six other MPs have written to Mrs May demanding a public inquiry, and in
her reply Mrs May said nothing has been ruled out, adding: Once the criminal invest
igations have concluded, I will thoroughly examine the case for an inquiry into
the matters you have raised.
Speaking about the Dickens dossier, the Prime Minister said he understood the co
ncerns about the missing file.
He said: That s why I ve asked the permanent secretary at the Home Office to do e
verything he can to find answers to all of these questions and to make sure we c
an reassure people about these events.
"So it s right that these investigations are made. We mustn t do anything, of co
urse, that could prejudice or prevent proper action by the police.
"If anyone has information about criminal wrong-doing they should, of course, gi
ve it to the police."
Yesterday The Daily Telegraph disclosed that a senior Tory who is being investig
ated as part of Operation Fernbridge was allegedly stopped by a customs officer
with child pornography in the 1980s.
The customs officer who made the seizure can now be named as Maganlal Solanki, 7
6, who said at his home in Leicester yesterday: I don t want to go over it all. I
t s very disturbing for me. I ve been told not to say anything by my department.
"

Asked about the senior Tory, who was never arrested over the alleged child porno
graphy seizure, Mr Solanki said: Well, that is just a matter for him.

The home of an MP who compiled a dossier alleging paedophile activity within Wes
tminster was burgled twice in suspicious circumstances around the time he took i
t to the authorities, his son has said.
Barry Dickens said nothing was taken in what appeared to be two very professio
nal intrusions into his father Geoffrey s home in 1983, leading to suspicions
they may have been related to his attempt to expose alleged abuse.
He told ITV News he found it confusing and slightly worrying that the case a
ppeared not to have been fully investigated at the time and backed calls for a p
ublic inquiry to establish the truth of the claims gathered by the Conservative
MP.
And he said he did not know what had happened to an apparent second copy of the
dossier after the Home Office admitted one which it received for investigation a
t the time appeared to have been destroyed.
My parents had two burglaries at the time close to it without anything being t
aken, which seemed a very professional job the way they were carried out, so aga
in a bit of suspicion there but who knows, Mr Dickens whose father died in 199
5 told the programme.

He said the dossier contained concerns and worries expressed to the MP about the
behaviour of those with a high profile, in an office or high status and que
stioned its subsequent disappearance.
Asked if he felt the then Home Secretary Leon Brittan had let down his fathe

MPs consider naming paedophile suspects in Parliament

A former minister has revealed he is prepared to use Parliamentary privilege to
name suspected paedophiles.
Tim Loughton, the former childrens minister, said he is considering the deploying
the nuclear option of naming members of a suspected Westminster paedophile ring o
n the floor of the House of Commons.
Under a British constitutional convention, comments made in parliament are prote
cted from libel action.
Details of the alleged network running through Whitehall and Parliament were con
tained in a dossier that was passed by Geoffery Dickens, a Tory MP, to Leon Brit
tan, then the Home Secretary.
Lord Brittan has confirmed he received a substantial bundle of papers but the Home
Office has admitted the papers were lost or destroyed.

Mr Loughton wrote in the Daily Mail: There will be those who will want to know wh
y I and my colleagues do not use Parliamentary privilege to name and shame suspe
cted paedophiles in the Commons. I call it the nuclear option, and it might come
to that.
He added: But we dont want to compromise any police investigation. We need to make
sure police have had every opportunity to pursue evidence. It is deeply frustra
ting but some patience has to be exercised.
Lord Tebbit, a fellow former Cabinet member, said Lord Brittan must explain full
y what happened to the file.
He should deal with the accusations which have been made. People will then have t
o assess for themselves, he said.
Some 130 MPs have backed a full parliamentary inquiry into allegations of a paed
ophilia ring in Westminster. It will encourage other alleged victims to come for
ward and establish why the Dickens dossier of alleged abuse disappeared, Mr Loug
hton said.
Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph can disclose that four previously unknown cases o
f historic sex abuse have been referred to the police by Home Office officials i
n recent months..
An internal review of hundreds of thousands of Home Office files found 13 previo
usly undisclosed items of alleged child abuse last year.

The Home Office said that nine of the 13 cases had been reported to the police i
ncluding four which involved the departments officials.
However, the remaining four were overlooked by civil servants and have now been
reported to the Metropolitan Police.
The cases were unearthed by an internal review ordered by the Home Offices perman
ent secretary Mark Sedwill in February last year, months after the scandal invol
ving former Liberal MP Cyril Smith broke.
The review which was carried out by an independent investigator from HM Revenue
and Customs - trawled through 746,000 files between 1979 and1999, and uncovered
the 13 instances of alleged child abuse.
A summary of the review, which was made public after a Freedom of Information re
quest, said: This work identified 13 items of information about alleged child abu
se, including 4 cases involving Home Office staff.
Nine of these items of information, including all of the cases involving Home Off
ice staff, were either already known to the Police or were reported to them by t
he Home Office at the time.
The Investigator considers that the remaining 4 items of information are likely t
o be of limited value, as they are either of doubtful credibility or involve the
use of a single profile indicator to identify a potential offender.
However it is recommended that the information is passed to the Police for a prop
er assessment as this falls within their remit.
The Home Office said that all the recommendations had now been implemented, whic
h meant they have been referred to the Police.
The review also said that it had identified 11 centrally recorded files from the
1980s relating to the Paedophile Information Exchange, all of which had been des
troyed.
It added: The recorded file titles, together with media reports of events at the
time, give some indication of the probable contents of these files from which th
e Investigator has concluded that their destruction was consistent with applicab
le record retention policies.
It concluded: The independent investigator is satisfied that the Home Office did
pass on to the appropriate authorities any information received about child abus
e in the period 1979 to 1999 which was credible and which had realistic potentia
l for further investigation.
The investigator believes that the risk of any undisclosed material remaining in
files form that period is extremely low.
Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP for Rochdale who has been campaigning on historic c
hild abuse, questioned why the Home Office had not passed on the cases to the po
lice earlier.
He said: Its never the job of the Home Office to try and determine what constitute
d potential evidence, that s the job of the police and the Crown Prosecution Ser
vice.
The public will think that people in the Home Office were withholding information
from the police which could have led to the successful prosecution of child sex

abusers.
Had the evidence been passed to the police at the time they might have been able
to link it to other information in their possession and build a case against som
eone.
He added: The public are left wondering why the Home Office didnt pass on the four
cases to the police when they initially received the information, some years ag
o.
The more we delve into historic child sex abuse and the role of the Home Office t
he more concerns are raised. This is why we now need an independent overarching
enquiry into historic child sex abuse.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said it was considering a request for comment fr
om The Daily Telegraph, but could not comment at the time of going to press.
The Home Office had failed to respond to requests for comment at the time of goi
ng to press.

ed by a customs officer with child pornography videos but got off scot-free, pol
ice have been told.
The former MP was driving back to the UK via Dover when a customs officer pulled
him over because he was acting suspiciously. The border guard, who is now retired
, has told detectives that when he searched the MPs car he found videotapes of ch
ildren clearly under the age of 12 taking part in sex acts.
He passed the material on to his superiors, but the MP was never arrested or cha
rged.
And, like a dossier of evidence compiled by the late Geoffrey Dickens MP, the vi
deotapes and paperwork relating to the seizure have since gone missing.
The latest disclosure will increase accusations of a cover-up, as no action was
taken against the MP at the time the videos were seized. The same MP is understo
od to have been named in the Dickens dossier, which was handed to the then Home
Secretary Lord Brittan but has since been lost or destroyed.

th-child-porn-in-1980s-faced-no-charges-police-told.html
The customs officer who stopped the MP in the 1980s has spoken to detectives fro
m Operation Fernbridge, the Metropolitan Police investigation into allegations o
f child abuse by Cyril Smith and others at Elm Guest House in Barnes, south Lond
on, which has since closed down.
A senior Tory politician has been accused of abusing a young boy at the guest ho
use, but police are understood to have insufficient evidence to take any action.
A source close to the investigation said that the customs officer was originally
approached over claims that a known paedophile had been stopped with a videotap
e showing the MP at a sex party with underage boys. The customs officer said the
report was false, but told police he had stopped the MP in question and seized
child pornography videos from him.
The source said: He viewed the tapes on a video recorder at the border control, a
nd found them to contain pornography involving both underage girls and boys toge
ther. He said the children were clearly under the age of 12.
Unfortunately he cant remember the exact date when it happened, but he had no doub
t about the identity of the MP because he checked his passport. He said he had p
assed the details of the seizure up the chain of command and had no knowledge of
what happened after that.
The officers on the case have not been able to find the videotapes or any paperwo
rk to corroborate his account.
Lord Brittan, now 74, has faced questions over his handling of a bundle of paper
s handed to him by the late Mr Dickens, which contained allegations against the
same MP, and against a number of other prominent figures, some of whom were part
of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) which campaigned for the lowering
of the age of consent. The Labour MP Simon Danczuk has suggested the dossier was
destroyed to protect the people whose names were in it.
Meanwhile The Daily Telegraph has learnt that four more cases of historic sex ab
use have been referred to the police by Home Office officials in recent months.
An internal review of hundreds of thousands of Home Office files found 13 previo
usly undisclosed items of alleged child abuse last year.
The Home Office said nine of the 13 cases had previously been reported to the po
lice including four which involved the departments officials.
However, the remaining four were overlooked by civil servants and have now been
reported to the Metropolitan Police.
The cases were unearthed by an internal review ordered in February last year. Mr
Danczuk questioned why the Home Office had not passed on the cases to the polic
e earlier.
He said: Its never the job of the Home Office to try and determine what constitute
d potential evidence, that s the job of the police and the Crown Prosecution Ser
vice.
The public will think that people in the Home Office were withholding information
from the police which could have led to the successful prosecution of child sex
abusers.

A Home Office spokesman said: "The review concluded the Home Office acted approp
riately, referring information received during this period to the relevant autho
rities.
Tom Watson, the Labour MP who was the first to raise questions about paedophiles
within Westminster, last night called on Alison Saunders, the Director of Publi
c Prosecutions, to examine the evidence relating to the former MP.
He said: "I sincerely hope the DPP has been made aware of these allegations and
will be considering it as part of her examination of other allegations."

Max Clifford trial: public relations guru guilty of eight counts of indecent ass
ault
Britain s best known public relations supremo becomes first to be convicted as a
result of Operation Yewtree, the police inquiry set up in the wake of the Jimmy
Savile scandal
David Barrett
By David Barrett, Home Affairs Correspondent
2:14PM BST 28 Apr 2014
Max Clifford, the public relations guru, has been found guilty of indecently ass
aulting teenage girls over nearly 20 years.
Clifford, 71, is facing jail after an eight-week trial in which he faced 11 coun
ts of indecent assault against seven teenagers.
He was convicted of eight charges, cleared of two and the jury was unable to rea
ch a verdict on one other.
Clifford became the first high-profile defendant to be convicted as a result of
Scotland Yards Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of the scandal sur
rounding Jimmy Savile, the BBC entertainer who was unmasked as Britains worst pae
dophile following his death in 2011.
The outcome will go some way towards restoring the Crown Prosecution Services rep
utation following widespread criticism over its decision to take a series of pub
lic figures to trial only for them to be acquitted on all charges.

used daughter to lure girl of 12 , court hears

Judge Anthony Leonard QC specifically warned the jury, during his summing up of
the Clifford trial on April 14, that they should not be influenced by the recent
acquittal of Nigel Evans MP, or by other Yewtree inquiries into what the judge
described as people who were on television in the 1960s and beyond.
Clifford was released on bail until Friday for sentencing, and posed for photos
with his family and supporters outside court.
He looked directly into waiting television cameras and said: "I have been told b
y my lawyers to say nothing at all."
As he walked towards his waiting car, Clifford was asked what it felt like to be
the story, and replied it was "not the first time".
Cliffords trial at Southwark Crown Court, south London, heard the publicist bulli
ed young women into performing sex acts, often after trying to impress star-stru
ck teenagers with stories of his connections with pop stars, actors and movie ex
ecutives.
Clifford treated his office as his own sexual fiefdom to do as he pleased with a n
umber of victims between 1966 and 1984, the court heard.
Clifford had denied all the charges and Richard Horwell QC, his barrister, said
the trial had been haunted by the spectre of Jimmy Savile.
Mr Horwell said his client admitted to having affairs but added that his sex life
and adulterous relationships are not on trial.
Clifford gave evidence during the trial in which he admitted attending sex parti
es thrown by Diana Dors, the actress, when he was a young man, where he had a jol
ly good time. He also said he had organised his own X-rated parties where he acte
d as ringmaster. Much of the evidence hinged on references to the size of Cliffords
manhood.
In addition to the seven women on the indictment, a further six gave evidence as
supporting witnesses, revealing how they too had fallen foul of Cliffords wander
ing hands.
One told how she was just 12 when he molested her in a jacuzzi in 1983.
Rosina Cottage QC, prosecuting, said Clifford was a master of manipulation who use
d his offices as his sexual fiefdom to toy with vulnerable young women.
The trial heard Clifford roamed naked around his New Bond Street HQ and romped w
ith young aspiring models.
On one occasion, Clifford was caught having sex with a woman against the wall of
his office, after comedian Lennie Bennett burst in by accident, the jury was to
ld.
The publicist also pretended to have a string of
e young women into bed.

A-list contacts in a bid to lur

Clifford claimed to be friends with 007 producer Albert Cubby Broccoli and suggest
ed he could make introductions for aspiring actresses.
But Mr Broccolis daughter Barbara, who has taken over as co-producer of the Bond
franchise, testified that as far as she knew her father had never met Clifford.

Miss Cottage told jurors: The defendant used his contact with famous people to bu
lly and manipulate young people into sexual acts with him.
In his actions he breached the trust of parents he had encouraged to trust him an
d young women working for him or seeking jobs in the world which he worked.
He is the maker of kiss and tell celebrity and the breaker of reputations.
He has been at the top of the media for many years. He knows the strings to pull.
He knows how to manipulate, lie and get what he wants.
As the years went by and he got away with his behaviour he must have thought he w
as untouchable and no doubt thought no one would complain and if they did, they
would not be believed.
Defence barrister Mr Horwell promised to call a string of showbiz witnesses to r
efute the allegations, but in the end the court heard from Des OConnor, the telev
ision host and singer; Pauline Quirke, the actress; and Jilly Johnson, a former
glamour model.
In 2010 Clifford, of Hersham, Surrey, married his second wife, Jo Westwood, who
formerly worked as his personal assistant.
Clifford denied 11 counts of indecent assault.
Detective Chief inspector Michael Orchard, of Scotland Yard, said: "I would like
to thank the victims for their courage and strength in coming forward to speak
with us. I hope they feel, and know, that they were listened to.
"I would also like to thank my officers for their commitment and hard work in th
is case.
"Whilst this was a high profile trial, officers work tirelessly to bring offende
rs of sexual abuse to justice on a daily basis."
Jenny Hopkins, deputy chief Crown prosecutor for CPS London, said: "Todays verdic
ts provide a long-denied justice to the victims of serious sexual offences. I wo
uld like to thank these victims for having had the courage to come forward and g
ive evidence.
"The victims of sexual abuse, whenever it may have taken place, should know that
police and prosecutors will listen.
It is only right that we now take some time to consider our position on the hung
count and we will update the court accordingly.
Peter Watt, director of national services at the NSPCC, said: Max Clifford has ri
ghtly been unmasked as a ruthless and manipulative sex offender who preyed for d
ecades on children and young women.
Clifford was a rich and influential man who dined with the stars but the way he m
anipulated and groomed his victims is typical of many sex offenders. He exploite
d their vulnerabilities, using lies and coercion to get what he wanted.
Throughout the court case Clifford has behaved dismissively and arrogantly toward
s his victims and the suffering he has caused them. He made them go through a lo
ng and painful court case and relive their traumatic experiences by not pleading
guilty."

He praised the courage of Clifford s victims for coming forward.

LINKKI
Selvitys: BBC:n juontaja hyvksikytti jopa tuhatta lasta
Observer-lehteen vuotaneen sisisen selvityksen mukaan BBC:n takavuosien suosittu
tv- ja radiojuontaja Jimmy Savile raiskasi ja ahdisteli aikoinaan jopa tuhatta t
ytt ja poikaa yleisradioyhtin studioissa ja pukuhuoneissa. Selvityksen tehneen tuom
ari Janet Smithin mukaan BBC:n johto oli tietoinen Savilen toiminnasta siihen ku
itenkaan puuttumatta. Savile oli yksi Britannian suosituimmista tv-juontajista 1
970-80-luvuilla ja hn kuoli vuonna 2011.
Nyt Savilen tapauksesta on paljastunut uutta tietoa, kun lastensuojelujrjest NSPCC
:n vastavalmistunut raportti on julkaistu. Raportissa haastateltiin 26 Savilen u
hria ja sen tarkoituksena oli selvitt, mink vuoksi monet hnen uhreistaan eivt tuoneet
miehen hirmutekoja aiemmin ilmi.
"Uhreille naurettiin"
Savilen uhrien keskuudessa oli vallalla vahva uskomus, jonka mukaan heidn kertomu
staan ei olisi koskaan uskottu. Raportti kertoo kuitenkin osan uhreista yrittneen
kertoa hyvksikytist heikoin tuloksin. Yksi haastatelluista oli jopa kertonut hyvksiky
tst poliisille, mutta viranomaiset eivt ryhtyneet minknlaisiin toimiin asiasta kuultu
aan.
- Uhreja ei huomioitu, heille naurettiin eik heit uskottu. Joissakin tapauksissa h
eidn jopa sanottiin olevan onnekkaita, kun kuuluisa juontaja oli huomioinut heit,
NSPCC:n osastonjohtaja Peter Watts sanoo The Guardianille.
Jokainen raporttiin haastatelluista uhreista kertoi halunneensa puhua asiasta uu
delleen vasta sen jlkeen, kun miehen muiden uhrien kertomuksia alkoi tulla julkis
uuteen Observerin paljastuksen jlkeen.
Elinikinen krsimys
Suosionsa huipulla tekojen aikaan ollutta Savilea pidettiin hyvn miehen mys hnen hyvnt
ekevisyyteen lahjoittamiensa rahasummien vuoksi. Miehen puhtoinen julkisuuskuva s
aikin raportin mukaan monet uhrit tuntemaan eptoivoa ja alemmuudentunnetta.

- Uhrit kuvittelivat, ettei kukaan uskoisi heidn kertomuksiaan Savilen julkisten

hyvien tekojen vuoksi. Joissain tapauksissa uhrit jopa pohtivat, pitisik heidn tode
lla tuntea olonsa imarrelluiksi Savilen "valittua" juuri heidt, Watts kertoo.

Hyvksikytttapaukset jttivt elinikiset jljet uhreihin, jotka kertoivat krsineens muun

sa mielenterveysongelmista, itsemurha-ajatuksista sek pihteiden vrinkytst myhemmss
Savilen kuvien nkeminen toi uhrien mieleen elvi takaumia hyvksikytttilanteista - he ke
rtoivat esimerkiksi muistaneensa juontajan tuoksun sek asioita, joita hn heille sa

Former BBC boss Mark Thompson lied over Savile evidence, Nick Pollard claims
Telegraph publishes full tape recording of Nick Pollard suggesting that former B
BC boss Mark Thompson lied when giving evidence about Jimmy Savile scandal
By Steven Swinford, Senior Political Correspondent

The author of a controversial inquiry into the handling of the Jimmy Savile scan
dal at the BBC has suggested that a former director-general lied when giving evi
dence, according to a tape recording.
Nick Pollard was asked by a journalist during a taped conversation if Mr Thompso
n s "instinct" was to "lie" during questioning when he appeared before the inqui
ry. Mr Pollard replied: "Yes. Well... yeah, yeah."
Earlier this week Lord Patten, the chairman of the BBC trust, warned Rob Wilson,
the Tory MP who obtained the recording, that he risked legal action if he made
it public. Mr Wilson instead passed the full recording to The Telegraph, which h
as today published it in full.
Read the full transcript of the Pollard tape here
Mr Wilson, who described Lord Patten s warning as "Soviet era" behaviour and a "
chilling" threat, said: "This episode paints a worrying picture of the culture a
t the BBC. The corporation ignored the evidence and I received a letter from Lor
d Patten warning me of the legal consequences.

New review for victims of child sex abuse
11 Jun 2013
"It appears that the BBC s instinct is still to cover up potentially embarrassin
g information rather than facing up to the truth about itself."
Mr Pollard, the former head of Sky News, last year lead a 3million inquiry into t
he BBC s decision to drop a Newsnight investigation into allegations that Savile
sexually abused schoolgirls.
Mr Thompson, who left the BBC in September 2012 to become chief executive of the
New York Times, told the inquiry that he had not been told about the allegation
s being investigated.
However, five days before the report was published a lawyer for Helen Boaden, th
e BBC s former head of news, wrote to Mr Pollard saying that she had told Mr Tho
mpson in December 2011 of the "nature of the Newsnight investigation".
Despite her evidence the 3 million inquiry made no reference to Miss Boadens claim
, and Mr Pollard wrote in the report that he had no reason to doubt what Mr Thomp
son told us.
In February, Mr Pollard contacted a journalist and admitted that he had made a "
mistake" by failing to refer to Miss Boaden s evidence in his final report.
He said: "If I d thought about it immediately before publication and I d picked
up on the significance of it I think I d probably have put it in the report. You
could say it doesn t particularly reflect well on me that I overlooked this in
the report."
Asked if Miss Boaden s evidence suggested that Mr Thompson s "instinct" was to "
lie" during questioning, Mr Pollard replied: "Yes. Well... yeah, yeah."
When the reporter said "I was always told you don t lie", Mr Pollard replied: "I
think that s right. There s no doubt he painted himself into a corner."
Mr Pollard suggested that Mr Thompson would have been in a "better position" if
had had admitted that he had been told about the investigation but came to the c
onclusion "there was nothing in it". "It s not a happy position but it s a bette
r position, isn t it."
The BBC Trust said that after listening to the recording in full it will not be
re-opening the inquiry. A spokesman said: "They noted that Mr Pollard continues
to stand by the report s conclusion and were satisfied that the conclusions of t
he report are robust."
Mr Pollard said that Miss Boaden s evidence "did not prompt any other conclusion
than that set out in my report".
He added, however, that he thought it had been a "mistake" not to make reference
to her evidence in the final version of the report and admitted speaking to a j
ournalist in an attempt to "address this". He said the conversation had been "in
appropriate".

Mr Thompson did not respond to requests for comment. In November he told the inq
uiry that he could "not recall" being told anything by Miss Boaden "about what t
he investigation was about".

Journalist: I ve seen that one, yes. You did press him, it looks like, and you d

straight?
Pollard: Yeah. Just putting that aside for a moment and this is off the record.
It s all off the record, this is purely for background. I think we ve talked abo

argued over Savile

Pollard: Because she sent us a letter to tell us that.

Journalist: Sorry, when did she send you that letter?

Pollard: Just before the report was published.

Journalist: You mean in December or this month?
Pollard: Back in December. And I think the truth is that I sort of overlooked th
at. I didn t see there was a particular significance in it. Partly because Mark
Thompson had said No she didn t tell me about it. It was an open question. She
might have done or she didn t.
Clearly whatever Helen Boaden s recollection was he was going to say "That s not
my recollection and she didn t tell me about it."
But I think it is clear and Helen Boaden s position is, if she was asked, she wo
uld say I did tell him about it.
So that s the position, between you and I. It s a slightly awkward position for
me because its something that actually if I d thought about it immediately before
publication and I d picked up on the significance of it I think I d have probab
ly put it in the report.
But quite clearly Mark Thompson would have said Well whatever she says I think in
this case she s wrong and her recollection is wrong.
So it s quite a tricky position this, I think, and again this is strictly at the
moment solely between you and I for no purposes other than me discussing it wit
h you.
Helen Boaden is pretty relaxed about all this. I ve talked to her about that. I
ve said to her I know you ve sent us that letter.
It was one of these right to reply letters that most of the witnesses had if we
had any criticism to make of them.
There was no criticism being made of Helen Boaden that she didn t tell Mark Thom
pson, so it was a sort of peripheral issue, but she happened to mention in this
letter I did tell him.
And I think that is what she has told anybody at the BBC who has asked, that wha
tever Mark Thompson says, she did tell him. Not that she gave him chapter and ve
rse but she said...
Journalist: ...She said the words sex abuse
Pollard: Yeah, I think she said Newsnight were doing an investigation of Jimmy S
avile and it was about abuse of kids or whatever.
Whether or not there was any reference to BBC premises I don t think she says.
Now the slight oddity of this position is that the letter, these right of reply
letters, which I think are known as Salmon letters, they are not being published
I think probably that s right that they are not being published because each one
of them is from a lawyer on behalf of a client.
So the position is that it is Helen Boaden s position that she did tell Mark Tho
mpson about it but it s not in the record anywhere.
So that s how things stand. You ve been very straight and very square with me an
d I just wanted to let you know what the position is.

Now, you could say it doesn t particularly reflect well on me that I overlooked
this in the report.
It s not in the report that Helen Boaden says on the record "I did tell Mark Tho
mpson about it."
That s just a fact of life. If somebody went to Helen Boaden and said I just wa
nt to check, did you or didn t you tell Mark Boaden [sic], I think she d say Ac
tually, yes I did. But there s not an obvious way of me making that public, sha
ll we say.
Journalist: I was thinking there is one possibility. I dont know if you read the
Sunday Times on Sunday I wrote a piece in there which made clear that a member o
f the Commons media select committee has written to Helen Boaden. There has been
no reply yet, but I wonder whether you feel it would be in your gift to indepen
dently contact that member of Parliament and say look, this is territory which w
as actually raised on a voluntary basis by Helen Boaden and she did actually con
fim that.
Pollard: I think the slight danger is that it s a little unpredictable what migh
t happen then. I ll have a think about that. There s not an obvious other route
to this. It s absolutely in Helen Boaden s gift to say at any time either I did
tell Mark Thompson or Not only did I tell Mark Thompson but I told the Pollar
d Review as well.
Journalist: One assumes now the transcripts have been published she s going to s
eize that opportunity.
Pollard: Well if she thinks it s important, and she may not do, to be honest.
Journalist: Except that shes got to respond to this MP so I d guess she d say to
the MP Thanks for your letter. By the way I have written to Pollard about this
already. I assume that s what she ll do. That s what I d do. And I anyway I don
t think anyone for a second believed that Helen Boaden wouldn t have been asked
what the investigation was about and wouldn t have told him what it was about a
nyway.
Pollard: No, I think that s right and common sense suggests that. Certainly I d
say listening to the Ben Webster tape, most people would come to the conclusion
that that was a guy [Thompson] trying his damndest not to say yes of course I kn
ew about it.
Journalist: Because he d already stupidly committed himself to a denial.
Pollard: Well that s exactly it. He s painted himself into the corner. So I don
t quite know about that. I don t think it s the most important thing to do with
this entire process but...
Journalist: Well you say that but actually I ve always thought the head of the o
rganisation having heard about that would have been able to either take steps or
...
The fact remains the BBC broadcast tribute programmes to Savile knowing they d h
eard allegations that month that he was a paedophile.
Furthermore if Thompson knew that he d have had the wit to say hang on I think t
his could potentially explode in our faces. What else did this investigation con
sist of?

And at that point Meirion Jones would have said we also heard about Glitter and
Starr and Thompson would have said Well they re still alive. We re going to h
ave to tell the police about this.
And so this is why I ve always pursued it. That s apart form the moral element o
f it, Nick, which was always...if you or I heard of abuse taking place in our of
fice I d bet the farm on either of us saying we can t leave this one hanging.
Pollard: I agree with that. I wouldn t put myself in the position of defending M
ark Thompson or in that sort of similar way, George Entwistle who was told about
it and didnt react..
I suppose what you don t know is how you might react if someone said Look we he
ard a pretty lurid allegation against a presenter who just died but this was 30
years ago but you might be relieved to hear we did an investigation and the edit
or of the programme tells me there was nothing in it.
We know that is very very far from being the whole story because there was somet
hing in it and the editor s decision was wrong but you know what I mean, if you
were a busy exec further up the chain and you were told The bad news is we got
a pretty nasty allegation about someone. The good news is there that there wasnt
anything in it for you. OK, thats not an explanation. It s an element of how it
came to be brushed under the carpet.
Journalist: I also think it s a fascinating insight that the instinct of Thompso
n according to Helen Boaden s version which you ve just told me was to lie about
this. Was to say I never heard anything about it. That tells you an awful lot a
bout the man.
Pollard: Yes. Well...yeah...yeah
Journalist: I may be sounding rather black and white about this, but I was alway
s told you don t lie.
Pollard: I think that s right. There s no doubt he painted himself into a corner
...and actually if he d said I wasn t told about it and rightly or wrongly when
I was told the whole thing had been dropped I came to the conclusion that meant
there was nothing in it. As it turns out that was wrong and perhaps I should ha
ve double, treble checked . It s not a happy position but it s a better position
, isn t it?
I think in a way this is your story. You ve made the running on this. I think wh
at this does is it puts you in a position where you know for sure that Helen Boa
den did tell the Pollard Inquiry that she told Mark Thompson the nature of the a
llegations. I think it puts you in a position where you can t say in print how y
ou know this but you re pretty watertight on the fact that that s the case. Beca
use it seems to me reading between the lines that you could have heard this eith
er of two sources - Helen Boaden could have told you or I could have told you.
Journalist: Or her lawyer could have told me.
Pollard: Absolutely. I m including that in the Boaden side of things. You ll gat
her I m in a slightly uneasy position about this. I think you would say it was a
mistake of mine not to have picked up on this and included it in the report.
Journalist: Well of course I pick up on that but frankly that is irrelevant. Wha
t is relevant is the end result. She has gone on the record very happily, willin
gly, on a voluntary basis to tell you and others involved in your inquiry that s
he did tell Mark Thompson.

She obviously wanted to make that clear to you. She obviously wanted to do that
for a reason.
Whether or not you had the time or opportunity to include that in your report is
frankly irrelevant.
You are nothing more than the messenger. You can t have included every single el
ement of what you were told in your report. We see from the volume of transcript
s it wouldn t have been possible for you to do that. I understand you were under
some time pressure. I m not interested in pointing the finger at you. I am inte
rested in establishing if Mark Thompson did know through his own second in comma
nd Helen Boaden this was a sex abuse allegation and what you ve told me is this
very important information that she did tell him. Do you know when she told him?
Pollard: No. From recollection I don t think the letter says. I ll have a look.
Presumably after December 20. If there s an indication I ll ping you a date....

Nick Gargan, the chief constable of Avon and Somerset, is examining Assistant Ch

of West Yorkshire Police.
Mrs Lee commissioned and oversaw the forces internal inquiry into its dealings wi
th Savile, whose main home was in Leeds and who had a close association with the
local police.
He hosted eight officers for regular Friday Morning Club meetings in his flat and
fronted crime prevention campaigns.
She was placed under investigation yesterday after The Sunday Telegraph found sh
e was a director of a property firm alongside four current or former officers fr
om the force.

Mr Gargan will lead an investigation into whether Mrs Lee, 47, followed guidelin
es which say business dealings by serving officers must be fully declared and ca
nnot present any appearance of allowing an officer to be unduly influenced.

17 May 2013
Mrs Lee, who lives in Leeds, has not been suspended and there is no suggestion o
f wrongdoing.
She is one of 14 directors of Oree Activite. Four others are former or serving p
olice officers. She was previously a director of a second company which had thre
e other officers as directors.
The Sunday Telegraph asked whether any of the officers Mrs Lee is in business wi
th were members of the Friday Morning Club or had dealings with Savile. We also
asked whether Mrs Lee declared her business interest to superiors or to the team
carrying out the investigation.
The force declined to comment on the questions. It also said Mrs Lee had no stat
ement to make and that she had not been suspended, saying that would be a matter
for Mr Gargan to decide.
West Yorkshire was already under scrutiny over its dealings with Savile. It was
only in March, months after the start of Operation Yewtree the main inquiry into
Saviles abuse that 35 of its officers and staff came forward with information ab
out his offending, leading to two new victims being identified and 11 further li
nes of inquiry.
A spokesman said yesterday that it was the decision of its former chief constabl
e, John Parkinson, not to appoint an external force to investigate its dealings
with Savile.
The new inquiry came as the officer leading Operation Yewtree, Detective Superin
tendent David Gray, said the police had grown too close to Savile and insisted a
n era when police mixed with celebrities was now over.
He said: The great danger of the celebrity culture is that it makes it much harde
r for victims to come forward. The challenge is to make sure this does not happe
n again. That is where people are having to reassess their relationships.
The BBC and hospital authorities have also been accused of failing to properly i
nvestigate Savile. On several occasions over five decades, police received intel
ligence about Savile but he was never arrested or charged.
Asked if he was surprised it had taken so long for some police to come forward,
Det Supt Gray refused to comment but added: Everybody knew. We had people phoning
in [in the early stages] from Canada and Australia.
He said: Did we miss any opportunities to bring him to justice? That is a questio
n I would pose. Did we? We will have to leave that hanging.
He added: People cannot believe this happened under our noses. Of course we chall

enge ourselves to ask was there something we could have done differently and tha
t challenge was for West Yorkshire and also for us [Scotland Yard].
Det Supt Gray said the initial scale of the allegations was overwhelming. Operat
ion Yewtree has snowballed from a handful of complaints made against Savile in a
television documentary into the pursuit of Britains most prolific sex offender,
with detectives having completed 377 individual crime reports.
Thirty officers are working on Yewtree, processing 6,000 documents and the offic
er said he expected more arrests after the search through evidence.
However some victims have still to be

Other celebrities unconnected to Savile have also been arrested by officers work
ing on Operation Yewtree as a result of a new watershed which has led to alleged v
ictims, who had feared their complaints would be ignored, coming forward.
Det Supt Gray disclosed that Savile was thought to have sexually assaulted eight
children, both boys and girls, who were aged five at the time. A previous Opera

Jimmy Savile: further details of hospital abuse revealed

West Yorkshire police is facing further questions over its role in the Jimmy Sav
ile scandal after it was forced to reveal more details about the scale of his ab
use, just days after publishing the findings of a major inquiry.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/jimmy-savile/10059496/Jimmy-Savilefurther-details-of-hospital-abuse-revealed.html
Last week a report into the forces relationship with the late entertainer reveale
d that officers had identified 68 victims in the region, the youngest of whom wa
s just five.
But after repeated inquiries from the Sunday Telegraph and other media organisat
ions, the force has now issued a further statement clarifying the scale of his o
ffending and where it took place.

In a statement West Yorkshire police revealed the numbers of victims that were a
bused in hospitals across the regions.
But critics have questioned why details were not published in the original repor
t and are only now just coming out.
In a statement issued today, a spokesman for the force said: The main location of
these offences was Leeds General Infirmary with complaints from 23 victims, ran
ging from aged five to 34.

Two victims were offences at St James Hospital, Leeds, aged five to 12. One victi

"One victim, who was aged 15 at the time of the offence, was at Dewsbury and Dis
trict Hospital, and two were at High Royds Hospital, aged five and 45.
The statement concluded: We are well aware that an independent investigation into
Savile s associations with hospitals in Leeds is currently underway. Out of con
sideration for that process, we cannot comment further on Savile s offending at
this time.
The publication of last weeks report had already been dismissed as a whitewash by
some critics after it emerged that it had been written by one of its own office
rs.
West Yorkshire police has faced intense criticism over the closeness of the rela
tionship some of its former officers had with Savile during the years when his o
ffending was at its worst.
Eight officers from the force visited his penthouse apartment in Roundhay four o
n a regular basis as members of his Friday Morning Club.
They included Matthew Appleyard, a sergeant serving at Wetherby police station,
and retired inspector Mick Starkey, who would regularly drive Savile in his Roll
s-Royce.
But the report said officers had found no evidence that he was protected from ar
rest or prosecution as a result of his relationship with individuals in the West
Yorkshire force.
It also cleared officers in the Friday Morning Club of any impropriety or miscond
uct.

He abused the children between 1962 and 1976 in West Yorkshire, where he had a h
ome in Leeds.
The disclosure takes his offending to a new level, it has now been claimed, but
it also raises questions over the conduct of West Yorkshire Police.
The force only admitted Savile had four five-year-old victims after repeated que
stions from this newspaper.
In a 59-page report on its dealings with the serial paedophile published last we
ek it suggested there was one victim of that age.
A spokesman for the force said the report might have been slightly misleading, whi
le one MP said it appeared the forces account of events was unravelling.

West Yorkshire Police was already facing serious criticism over its report, writ
ten by one of its own officers, but described by one critic as a whitewash.
It will now come under fresh scrutiny over how it dealt with the investigation i
nto Savile.
The report, written by Det Chief Supt David Knopwood, said the youngest victim wa
s five years old at the time of the offence, three years younger than was recorde
d by a previous joint investigation by the NSPCC and Scotland Yard.
When The Telegraph asked for further information on Friday, the force said no mo

re details could be disclosed because the inquiry was still open.

West Yorkshire later conceded that four of Saviles victims were aged five. It sai
d two victims had come forward last December and two earlier this year.
However, the joint Scotland Yard-NSPCC report, published on Jan 11 after an inqu
iry that began on Oct 19, described the youngest known victim as aged eight.
Peter Watt, of the NSPCC, said the fact should have been in the public domain. T
he charity was only told of the four victims late on Friday night.
I was shocked that there was one child of five that had suffered, he said. The fact
that there were four is truly appalling and I think it is a piece of informatio
n that it would have been very useful to have out in the public domain sooner, n
ot least of which because it adds to the overall picture of what Savile was and
what he was like as an abuser.
The fact that there are now a reasonable number of very young children it somehow
makes it even more shocking. And the fact that he targeted boys, and not just g
irls, changes the investigation.
Alan Collins, a lawyer acting for 43 of Saviles victims, said: The report is pathe
tic.
They have not been open about the number of victims aged five.
It is bad enough he was abusing teenagers but now we are talking about young chil
dren which takes it to a new level.
Rob Wilson, a Tory MP critical of the police and the BBCs handling of Savile and
the numerous missed opportunities to catch him, said: I said on the day that this
report from West Yorkshire Police was published that I found it difficult to ha
ve much confidence in it.
The fact that it appears to be unravelling under scrutiny suggests that there was
a clear conflict of interest at the heart of it, between getting to the truth o
f its officers relations with Savile and protecting the forces own reputation.
West Yorkshire police has already come under fire for its close relationship wit
h the television presenter and radio disc jockey, who fronted crime prevention c
ampaigns and attended numerous events.
Eight West Yorkshire Police officers visited Saviles penthouse apartment in Round
hay four on a regular basis as members of his Friday Morning Club.
They included Matthew Appleyard, a sergeant serving at Wetherby police station,
and retired inspector Mick Starkey, who would regularly drive Savile in his Roll
s-Royce.
But the report said officers had found no evidence that he was protected from ar
rest or prosecution as a result of his relationship with individuals in the West
Yorkshire force.
It also cleared officers in the Friday Morning Club of any impropriety or miscond
uct.
However it showed that 35 staff at the force only came forward with information
when senior investigators demanded they do so in March six months after the tele
vision celebrity was unmasked as a predatory paedophile, and almost five months
after a squad of Scotland Yard detectives began investigating his criminal past,

making use of police resources and databases across the country.

The intelligence from West Yorkshire officers led to the discovery of two new vi
ctims and 11 new lines of inquiry.
It is understood that this information did not relate to the five-year-old victi
ms.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said much of the information from the 35 offic
ers and staff who came forward in March was related to rumour rather than evident
ial material.
None of the information would merit disciplinary action, he said.
However the full report has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Co
mmission.
Assistant Chief Constable Ingrid Lee admitted both that they had let his victims
down and that mistakes had been made in how the force recorded and handled info
rmation relating to Savile.
Six incidents examined in the report have now been referred to the Independent P
olice Complaints Commission.
The report, called Operation Newgreen, admitted that the review team did find rec
ollections of events were often vague and incomplete while changes in the recordi
ng, handling and weeding of information meant it was unable to fully establish th
e facts.

LONDONRolf Harris, a veteran entertainer who has released hit singles and painted
Queen Elizabeth IIs portrait, has been arrested as part of a police investigatio
n into sexual abuse allegations stemming from the Jimmy Savile scandal, British
media reported Friday.
Why did no one stop Jimmy Savile??

Major media outlets followed The Sun newspaper in identifying Harris, an Austral
ian-born artist, musician and television host who is a household name in Britain
.
He was first questioned by police in November but not arrested. He was arrested
in March and released on bail pending further inquiries.
Asked about Harris, Londons Metropolitan Police said they would not name suspects
who have not been charged.
Police said an 82-year-old man in Berkshire, west of London, was arrested March
28 as part of Operation Yewtree, an investigation launched after revelations tha
t Savile targeted hundreds of young victims over five decades. Savile died in 20
11 at age 84.
Police said the allegations against the man were not directly connected to Savil
e.
Harris, who lives in Berkshire and turned 83 on March 30, has been a British ent
ertainment stalwart for decades. He has had musical hits with Tie Me Kangaroo Dow
n, Sport which he once performed with The Beatles and Two Little Boys.
He also has hosted television shows, painted an official portrait of the queen f
or her 80th birthday in 2006, and performed at the monarchs Diamond Jubilee conce
rt last year.
A dozen people have been arrested as part of the Yewtree investigation, includin
g former pop star Gary Glitter and celebrity publicist Max Clifford. Former chau
ffeur David Smith, 66, is the only person to have been charged.

In a previously unpublished interview given by Savile two months before he died,
he admitted he was not a straight punter.
The Jewish Chronicle obtained a transcript of the interview, which was ostensibl
y about Saviles work with Jewish charities, but which included the Jimll Fix It pr
esenters enigmatic reference to his murky past.
Asked what he would choose if someone could fix it for him, Savile said: A telephon
e in heaven.
When he was asked why, he said: Just leave it at that. Thats the trouble with you

fellas, you always want to delve and go further.

He then added that he was not a straight punter.

Savile was born and raised as a Roman Catholic, but once described himself as the
most Jewish Catholic you will ever meet, and raised money for several Jewish cha
rities. He died aged 84 in October last year.
Meanwhile it has emerged that the BBC Panorama programme will broadcast an inves
tigation on Monday night into Newsnights decision to drop a film on Savile.
The documentary will be shown on the eve of an appearance before a committee of
MPs by George Entwistle, the BBC director general.
The programme may also include some of the unseen footage filmed by Newsnight, s
aid to include an on-screen interview with at least one alleged victim of Savile
.
Mr Entwistle has been called to give evidence to Parliaments culture, media and s
port select committee on Tuesday, when he will be asked exactly how much he knew
about the Newsnight probe and the decision to discontinue it.
Michael Crick, the Channel 4 News chief political correspondent and former Newsn
ight political editor, described the timing of the Panorama broadcast as a huge p
roblem for Mr Entwistle.
The director general has claimed from the outset that while he was aware that Ne
wsnight was looking into Savile at the end of last year, he did not know what th
e investigation was about.
Peter Rippon, the editor of Newsnight, has insisted the investigation was droppe
d for editorial reasons.
Regardless of whether Mr Entwistle knew what Newsnight had unearthed, he has alr
eady been criticised for allowing the corporation to broadcast tribute programme
s to Savile without checking whether Newsnight had discovered anything compromis
ing.
The director general has been at pains to stress that the editors of BBC program
mes have complete independence, free from any influence by directors-general, an
d the timing of the Panorama programme could not be a sterner test of his word.
At least six celebrities have now been accused of child abuse either on BBC prem
ises or during the time they were prominent BBC stars.

They include Savile, the Steptoe and Son actor Wilfrid Brambell, an unnamed soap
star and the singer Gary Glitter.

The Metropolitan Police said it was now dealing with alleged abuse "on an unprec

peration Yewtree, which followed the broadcast of ITV s Exposure documentary une

The Met is now following up 400 separate lines of inquiry involving alleged abus
ers both living and dead.
It has also given the BBC the green light to begin its own independent investiga
tion into the allegations, to run in tandem with the police inquiry.
Met Commander Peter Spindler said: "The public s response to this issue has been
astounding. We are dealing with alleged abuse on an unprecedented scale.
"The profile of this operation has empowered a staggering number of victims to c
ome forward to report the sexual exploitation which occurred during their childh
ood.

"I am pleased that victims feel confident enough to speak out about the abuse th

"Anyone with information or concerns should call NSPCC on 0808 800 5000."
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Operation Yewtree, the enquiry into alleged chi

on s claims about the reasons for dropping a Newsnight investigation into Savile
last year.
The email from a press officer to BBC executives appears to contradict the corpo
rations official statements about why the BBC Two programme was cancelled just be
fore Christmas.
It discloses how the investigation was so well advanced that the press office wa
s preparing "lines to take" in response to anticipated hostile media inquiries.
The email, leaked to The Times, refers to journalists on Newsnight "focusing on
allegations of abuse".

The press officer, Helen Deller, writes that "we may well need to do a bit of ma
naging around this" and that "we should bear in mind how BBC complaints team res
pond".
Her email, marked "confidential", was sent on Dec 7 last year at 5.02pm to Peter
Rippon, the Newsnight editor and Meirion Jones, an "investigations producer" on
the programme.
The BBC has said that rather than the show focusing on Saviles alleged abuse it i
n fact focused on allegations against the CPS or police.
The BBC began briefing in January that the report was dropped because it had bee
n investigating "alleged failings within the CPS" but had not found any proof to
substantiate the claims, it was reported.
It was claimed that Mr Rippon had said the story had been "weakened from a Newsn
ight perspective" because they had been unable to establish any "institutional f
ailure" by the police or the CPS.
But "well-placed BBC sources" told The Times that the team had instead focused f
or several weeks on exposing Savile as a paedophile and had gathered 10 alleged
victims and witnesses.
A BBC spokesman said last night: "This ridiculous story in no way casts doubt on
what the BBC has previously said on this.
"It is simply an exchange between a junior press officer and the Newsnight produ
cer asking for further information about the Jimmy Savile investigation.
"This email exchange along with other relevant documents will be passed to the P
ollard inquiry." Mrs Deller was unavailable for comment.
The BBC Panorama programme will broadcast an investigation on Monday night into
Newsnights decision to drop the report on Savile.
Meanwhile, it emerged that Savile confessed to a reporter that his reputation wo
uld collapse after his death and he would come to be regarded as "crooked".
In a previously unpublished interview given by Savile two months before he died,
he admitted he was "not a straight punter".
The Jewish Chronicle obtained a transcript of the interview. Savile told a freel
ance reporter that he was "not a straight punter".
He said: "When Im gone, theyll say: I always thought he was straight but he wasnt he
was crooked. "

Jimmy Savile
Im as Saviled out as most of the country; I could never stand Jimmy Savile and Im
as revolted as anyone by his general creepiness and nastiness. Still, the contin
uing revelations put the spotlight on some of the worst aspects of respected ins
titutions. Mesmerised by his celebrity and fund-raising abilities, hospitals gav
e him unchecked access to the vulnerable. The BBC chose neither to see nor to he
ar evil.
The truth is that whatever the fine ideals behind institutions, human nature dic
tates that as the years go by it is its own survival that becomes an institutions
priority. Whether its the Vatican, Parliament or the local flower-arranging soci
ety, members tend to band together against the outside world, view criticism as
malign and try at all costs to keep wrongdoing secret and to avoid boat-rocking.
Even though Im accustomed to this, Im in awe of how badly the BBC is handling this
scandal. The latest dither is over when to transmit the Newsnight investigation
that was shelved in favour of Savile tributes.
Its no surprise that there is panic at the top. It was Lord Patten, the Chairman
of the BBC Trust, who chose George Entwistle to be Director-General. I didnt unde
rstand at the time why the man who had presided over the embarrassing scandal th
at was the BBC coverage of the Jubilee Regatta should be thought to be a safe pa
ir of hands, but I assumed Patten saw it as an unusual lapse in his usually impe
ccable judgment. Now, between the two of them, theyre bumbling, dodging and witte
ring, not seeming even to know which of them is in charge of what. As Sir John T
usa, who used to run the World Service, pointed out the other day, Entwistle is
in effect the BBCs editor-in-chief and the question of whether the Newsnight prog
ramme should have been pulled is his to answer. Entwistle should have said to Lor
d Patten, his chairman, I will find out what happened; I will set up the inquir
y; we will then report to you and the BBC Trust; and then you can decide what to
do. You cant have both the non-executive, which is Chris Patten, and the executi
ve, tumbling over one another with different inquiries. One inquiry, run by the

editor-in-chief, who then hands it to the non-executive chairman, thats how a sen
sibly run organisation would work.
Today Patten and Entwistle will no doubt be falling over each other as they pani
c over an embarrassing email that shows that BBC higher echelons knew more than
they let on about what Newsnight had actually been investigating.
There is much that I love about the BBC. Radio 4 is a constant and cherished com
panion, and when Im in America, I become misty-eyed with longing for it. But ther
es no ignoring Beeb wastefulness, its absurd layers of bureaucracy and its self-i
mportance. Of all its recent mistakes over Savile, what annoyed me most was the
issue of Desert Island Discs. First they said they wouldnt remove it from the arc
hive: then they changed their corporate mind and expunged it. Why? Because liste
ning to it might turn us plebs into paedophiles? Are they hiding all tapes of hi
s performances in the cellars as we speak?
Man up, BBC. Decide whos in charge, find out the truth quickly and tell it immedi
ately. Its your only chance of surviving this mess with some dignity.

Jimmy Savile: He was the tip of the iceberg

The wide-ranging investigation into Sir Jimmy Saviles depraved activities has foc
used attention once more on claims of a possible paedophile ring and a culture
of cover-up on Jersey.

8:13PM BST 19 Oct 2012
In the bleak days of March 2008, the worlds media gathered outside Haut de la Gar
enne, a forbidding and isolated former workhouse and childrens home on Jersey. Po
lice were digging for possible human remains and other evidence after almost 200
former residents of the home alleged abuse, including torture and rape, by staf
f and visitors over many years, with claims that some youngsters had disappeared.
Officers from mainland British forces, who had previously taken over leadership
of the local force on a mission to root out alleged endemic corruption within Jers
eys constabulary, led the high-profile investigation into historical child abuse
on the island.
Now two of those officers, Jerseys former Chief Officer Graham Power and the form
er Deputy Chief Officer Lenny Harper, the senior officer in the Haut de la Garen
ne abuse inquiry, are backing victims calls for an outside force to investigate a
llegations that Sir Jimmy Savile and others, including some celebrities, regular

ly sexually abused children on Jersey.

The shocking revelations of Saviles depraved behaviour have, to the relief of the
Jersey abuse victims, refocused attention on Haut de la Garenne. In their view,
it confirms their claims that the home was at the heart of a well-protected pae
dophile ring.
Allegations against Savile and other famous and powerful people were made during
the 2008 inquiry. Earlier this week, the Telegraph revealed that another allege
d abuser was the actor Wilfrid Brambell, the dirty old man of Steptoe and Son fame
. One of two boys whom he abused in a back room at the Jersey Opera House in the
Seventies was from Haut de la Garenne.

The States of Jersey Police have confirmed that an Haut de la Garenne resident h
ad alleged abuse by Savile in the mid-Seventies during the 2008 inquiry, but sai
d there had been insufficient evidence for an investigation to proceed. The auth
ority has also confirmed that three more victims of Savile on Jersey have contac
ted them in recent days.
Carrie Modral, chair of the Jersey Care Leavers Association, a charity run by peo
ple who have spent time in care, says: Its good that the Savile scandal is making
people think more about what happened here. But why have the States of Jersey on
ly admitted it about Savile now? Because hes dead and he cant talk or bring down a
ll the other big names. Their view would be that we, the survivors, keep going o
n about celebrities abusing kids at Haut de la Garenne, so OK, Heres one, hes dea
d and he cant talk. But Savile was just the tip of the iceberg.
Lenny Harper agrees: Savile chose his victims with great care; vulnerable and oft
en troubled youngsters many in care homes. If they complained they were labelled
troublemakers, or brutally put down. We know from court cases and statements ma
de to my team [during the 2008 inquiry] that children in Jersey care homes were
loaned out to members of the yachting fraternity and other prominent citizens on
the pretence of recreational trips but during which they were savagely abused a
nd often raped.
When these children complained they were beaten and locked in cellars [at Haut de
la Garenne], which the Jersey authorities denied existed in 2008, but which can
still be seen on YouTube footage. What chance did they have? This would have be
en the perfect hunting ground for Savile. The great and good of Jersey fawn over
anyone with even loose connections to British royalty. Saville would have been
a VIP to them and children would not have stood a dogs chance of complaining abou

t him. It would have been so easy for him.

Rumours about abuse at Haut de la Garenne had been rife for years but, according
to Harper, junior police officers who tried to help those making allegations we
re thwarted by corrupt seniors. He claims that the 2008 inquiry so infuriated and
embarrassed Jerseys establishment that a campaign was initiated to smear the lead
officers and label them credulous and money-wasting.
The dig at the home was discredited, supposedly having found nothing, but even H
arpers critical successors in the investigation admit that at least three human b
one fragments were found and childrens teeth, from between 10 and 65 children of
all ages.
These have never been adequately explained, Harper says. They were not from a lon
g ago cemetery or all animal bones, but the bones proved impossible to date. One
anthropologist said they were a couple of decades old, but another said they co
uld not be dated. Well never know. They were definitely human and juvenile.
Harper retired in autumn 2008, to spend more time with his daughter and her youn
g family, after his Army officer son-in-law was killed in Iraq. His supportive b
oss, Chief Officer Graham Power, a former senior Met officer and recipient of th
e Queens Police Medal, was suspended in November 2008. Both officers were later i
nvestigated by outside forces, at Jerseys instigation, but no evidence of miscond
uct was found.
Jerseys former health minister, Stuart Syvret, who backed the victims and police
in the 2008 investigation, was also sacked. He was imprisoned last year for publ
icising a serious allegation on another, unrelated matter which, for legal reaso
ns, cannot be described.
Syvret told the Telegraph: Jimmy Savile abused children in Jersey. I believed his
victims. Just as I believe the two people who told me of child abuse by another
TV personality [this week confirmed as Brambell] on Jersey from the Seventies.
Just as I believed those who told me that the authorities of the day had ignored
their complaints of years of abuse by others in Jerseys childrens homes. Savile i
s dead, so why must we dig into the sorry and wretched details? Because the cruc
ial feature of this case is not so much the individual crimes, as bad as they ar
e, and as damaging for the victims; it is, instead, what I call the culture of
cover-up.
As a result of the fallout from the investigation into Haut de la Garenne, the p
ublic was left believing that Harper and his team had over-reacted to the abuse
allegations. Yet seven people have since been convicted of abuse as a result of
the inquiry, and to date compensation has been agreed for over 100 victims, with
many more civil cases pending. Police had allegations against 150 individuals,
many never adequately investigated including Savile. There are at least four kno
wn victims of Savile from Jersey, and at least one disclosed their abuse to poli
ce in 2008, yet it is only now that their claims are being considered seriously.
Jersey Police have confirmed that one victim made accusations against Savile in
2008. But, for reasons that are still unclear, it is thought the allegations wer
e not typed up into the statements seen by senior officers. It is believed that
Savile denied ever having been to Haut de la Garenne and threatened to sue a new
spaper for claiming that he visited the home.
Although the Metropolitan Police are co-ordinating inquiries across Britain into
Saviles alleged crimes, it is individual forces that are expected to examine the
m in detail. Carrie Modral says few of the victims trust Jerseys police to do so.
That window of opportunity closed when the Jersey establishment got rid of the g
ood cops, she says.

It was a member of the Jersey Care Leavers Association who told police in 2008 th
at she was sexually abused at Haut de la Garenne by Savile. The news about Savile
has brought it all back, she is in great distress, says Modral. Savile visited re
gularly, not just Haut de la Garenne but other childrens homes on the island. He
wasnt the only visitor. The victim has named another household name who visited t
he home with Savile.
She added: I can tell you that two staff members who abused her at another home h
ave been imprisoned, and the authorities have agreed financial compensation for
her. But another man in a position of authority who regularly visited Haut de la
Garenne and abused her there is still free and now employed in a responsible po
sition by the state.
Lenny Harper has confirmed to the Telegraph that he arrested this man for allege
dly raping two other children at the home: I gave a lot of information to the aut
horities about him, but hes still employed by them in a senior position, Harper sa
ys. There were two solid allegations of rape against him that would have been pro
ceeded with if it was in the UK. There was similar fact evidence. But Jerseys Att
orney General ruled that it was not.
When we started the dig this man turned up and demanded access to the site. He al
legedly wanted to get some stuff hed left there years before. Yet this mans name a
roused more fear in the victims than any other in the inquiry.
Ms Modral agreed: He was no holds barred. And I have been told he made it clear h
e had friends and felt he would be protected. If he goes down he will bring down
the government [in Jersey], because of what he knows about other people. The pr
ess needs now to look at all the other big name visitors to the home.
What Savile did to the victim was horrible, but small beer compared to what others
did to her, says Modral. Savile put her on his knee and got his hand up her skir
t. Then he tried to touch her little sister, and she pulled her away when he sta
rted to cuddle her. She was already being abused at Haut de la Garenne by staff,
so she knew what he would do. Imagine being so young yourself and trying to sav
e your little sister. They were 11 and nine.
Modral says she met Savile when he visited a youth club on the island. Its ridicul
ous that he said he was never here. He was always coming to the island to open c
harity walks, and [visit] the childrens home and children would go [to see him].
I didnt like the man, I stayed well away, I found him frightening, just the look
of him.
Possible links are emerging between abuse in Jersey childrens homes and
er notorious Islington childrens homes paedophile ring. A key figure in
Islingtons deputy childrens homes superintendent Nicholas Rabet, came
. He had worked there in childcare, and regularly took children from the
ondon councils homes on camping trips to the island.

the earli
the ring,
from Jersey
north L

Rabet fled Britain after the press exposed him, but was charged in Thailand in 2
006 with abusing 30 boys there, the youngest six. He killed himself before he co
uld be tried. His ally, Neil Hocquart, killed himself in custody in Ely, Cambrid
geshire, in 1991, after being found with hundreds of paedophile videos. He had g
rown up in care in Norfolk and was taken to Guernsey, where he became the cabin b
oy of a sea captain, before returning to Britain to recruit children for the paed
ophile ring. Karin Ward, who featured in the ITV documentary about Savile that s
parked the current inquiries, has described being abused by the star during a ca
mping trip to Jersey from her Norfolk childrens home.
The former Jersey Chief Officer Graham Power says the fact that more than 100 vi

ctims on Jersey have now received out-of-court settlements and a significant num
ber of civil cases are still pending illustrates the scale of the abuse. He says
he understands why victims mistrust the local force to investigate the Savile a
llegations: The scale of abuse that occurred in this small community was so great
that it seems to be beyond doubt that persons in authority must have known some
thing of what was taking place, and, from what we know so far, they appear to ha
ve done nothing to protect the children who were being abused in establishments
operated by their own government. This is a matter which merits honest and indep
endent examination.
Alan Collins, a solicitor with Pannone, a legal firm specialising in abuse cases
that is representing 58 of the victims, says initially all the focus was on Hau
t de la Garenne, its workers and management. Jimmy Savile was a sideshow. I hones
tly couldnt say how many have named Savile. But there were several people who nam
ed him, it was plural, not singular. All the allegations need to be looked at no
w en masse for similar fact evidence, because now we are seeing a bigger jigsaw.
Each individual complaint makes more sense now. Savile is dead but others who a
bused them are not.
The Attorney General, William Bailhache, issued a statement in June 2009 stating
that two historic abuse investigations were dropped because of a lack of eviden
ce. Cases of this nature are often difficult. There is rarely any independent evi
dence, and often the cases come down to being the word of one person against ano
ther A decision not to bring criminal proceedings does not necessarily mean that
those who have made complaints are not believed. A decision not to prosecute mea
ns only that the Attorney General, having fully considered all of the available
evidence and other information, has decided that an acquittal is more likely tha
n a conviction.

Detectives investigating Savile have been passed details of three doctors who ar

The number of possible sexual abuse victims being investigated under Operation Y
ewtree is understood to be approaching 300, sources close to Scotland Yard told
the BBC.
The doctors have not been identified but they worked at hospitals where Savile h

Their names have been passed to police who are investigating claims that the ind
ividuals were at the centre of a network of child abusers connected with Savile.
Jimmy Savile had an office in Broadmoor hospital, a bedroom in Stoke Mandeville
hospital and was also given regular access to patients at Leeds general infirmar
y.

Stoke Mandeville was at the centre of another child abuse scandal in the 1980s w

Dr Michael Salmon was jailed for three years after admitting indecent assaults o

This morning Jeremy Hunt said a Department of Health inquiry into Savile would c
over "everything we need to do".
The Health Secretary told ITV1 s Daybreak: "The big question that we need to ans
wer is whether, because of his celebrity status, Jimmy Savile was given special
treatment, in terms of access to hospitals, keys to hospitals, and things that o
rdinary people wouldn t have been given and shouldn t have been given.
"But I think our first priority is to co-operate with the police and help them g

Former barrister Kate Lampard has been brought in to oversee the investigations
into Savile at Stoke Mandeville, Broadmoor and Leeds General Infirmary.
It comes as police searched Jimmy Savile s cottage in the Scottish Highlands aft

Savile hosted high profile guests at the isolated cottage in Glencoe including P

It has been untouched since Savile s death last year but police apparently belie

The Northern Constabulary, who carried out the search of the cottage, said last
night: "We are assisting with the logistics of a Met operation."

Mr Thompson, who is due to take over as chief executive of the New York Times ne
xt month, faces questions about his suitability for the role after what had "pla
inly" been an institutional cover-up on his watch.
The criticism from a columnist at The New York Times puts pressure on Mr Thompso
n to disclose what he knew about a Newsnight investigation into claims Savile ha
d abused minors on BBC premises and elsewhere.
The investigation was dropped for "editorial reasons" shortly before a tribute p
rogramme to Savile was broadcast.
Mr Thompson claimed earlier this month that he had "never heard any allegations"
about Savile during his time at the corporation.
He later admitted that he had "formed the impression it [the Newsnight investiga
tion] was about sex abuse".

Joe Nocera, who has been a columnist at the New York Times since 2005 and was pr

ess of sexual abuse allegations... you would think that Thompson and his underli
ngs would immediately want to get to the bottom of it.
"But again, they did nothing. Thompson winds up appearing wilfully ignorant, and
it makes you wonder what kind of an organization the BBC was when Mr Thompson w

"For the sake of Times employees - not to mention readers who want to see a vibr

The ex-worker told the BBC that Savile would arrive with the girls in the early

Scotland Yard has launched an investigation into the television and radio star s
activities, and he is now believed to have been of the UK s most prolific abuse
rs, with about 300 possible victims.
Mr Pratt said he became suspicious when Savile began arriving in the middle of t

.
He added that the celebrity, who was a volunteer and fund-raiser for the hospita
l, would make several late-night visits a month where he would ask for the key t

Earlier this week it emerged that Savile was barred from any involvement with th
e BBC s Children In Need charity.
Sir Roger Jones, a former chairman of the charity, said he had been uncomfortabl
e about allowing Savile to have any association with their work.
Although he had "no evidence" that Savile was up to anything, he said he behaved
strangely, adding: "I think we all recognised he was a pretty creepy sort of ch
aracter."
Britain s most senior police officer said if allegations about Savile had been l
inked while he was alive, they would have exposed "a pattern of behaviour".
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said police and other organi
sations had not connected a number of separate claims made about Savile s allege
dly predatory actions.
Meanwhile an ex-Broadmoor patient has told how she was put into solitary confine
ment for six months after she told a nurse she had been molested by Savile.
The woman, who was sent to the hospital as a teenage killer, said the DJ touched
her breast and tried to put his hand between her legs.
But when she complained she was accused of having "bizarre made-up thoughts" and
locked away.
Savile, who she said had a group of "special friends" at the hospital in Berkshi
re would taunt her outside her cell with a bunch of keys.

Jimmy Savile: BBC internal inquiry hasn t asked Mark Thompson for evidence
The BBCs inquiry into why a Newsnight investigation into Jimmy Saviles sexual abus
e was scrapped has yet to contact Mark Thompson, the Corporations director-genera
l at the time.
Mark Thompson is under pressure over the Jimmy Savile affair (PA)
By Sam Marsden
8:06PM GMT 01 Nov 2012
Mr Thompson insists he played no part in the controversial decision to pull the
report last December before it was broadcast, but has faced a series of question
s about what he knew and when.
He has said he is happy to give evidence to the BBC-appointed review into whethe
r there were failings in the management of the Newsnight investigation but to da
te has not been asked to do so, a source confirmed.
The inquiry, chaired by Nick Pollard, the former head of Sky News, has already b
egun interviewing witnesses and aims to report back to the BBCs executive board i
n the second half of this month.
Among those set to provide evidence are Peter Rippon, who stepped aside as Newsn
ights editor last week, George Entwistle, the BBCs new director-general, and Helen
Boaden, the Corporations head of news.

The fact that the review is already well advanced but has not so far contacted t
he director-general of the day has raised concerns among critics who fear it may
not uncover the full truth about why the Newsnight investigation was stopped.

Star investigation: From generous girl to caged animal
More on Ashley Smith
A Quebec police investigation into the forcible drugging of teen inmate Ashley S
mith at Joliette prison has found no evidence of wrongdoing.
The provincial police report, a copy of which the Star obtained on Thursday, sur
faced as Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the conditions of Smiths confinemen
t completely unacceptable to the way Corrections Canada is supposed to do busines
s.
Video footage of the incidents at Joliette, broadcast publicly for the first tim
e on Wednesday as part of the inquest into Smiths death, shows prison staff in ga
s masks, visored black helmets and hazmat-type suits pinning the shackled but vi
sibly docile young woman to a metal gurney with a clear plastic riot shield whil
e a nurse injects Smith with a heavy antipsychotic five times in a seven-hour pe
riod.
At one point, guards mount the gurney to sit on Smiths legs while a nurse threate
ns the compliant inmate with bigger injections that will hurt more.
Prison staff, the report concluded, administered the injections in the normal man
ner.
The policies and procedures may have been followed to the black-and-white letter
of the law, but I remain convinced it was still improper in terms of dealing wit
h Ashley Smith, federal correctional investigator Howard Sapers said.
The police reports conclusion troubles the Smith family.
This investigation was simply half a job, said the familys lawyer, Julian Falconer,
who represents Ashleys parents, Coralee Smith and Herb Gorber.
In 2010, the family asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to investigate the Q
uebec incident and others related to Smiths questionable treatment during her 11
months in federal custody.
The RCMP said it was not in its jurisdiction.
Absolute nonsense, Falconer said.
A federal police spokeswoman said the agency was not prepared to comment on Thur
sday.
The investigation into the July 2007 events at Joliette was left to two officers
from the Sret du Qubec.
Injections are administered to Ashley Smith in the normal manner, officers Mario L
aflamme and Yoland Cot wrote in their September 2011 report.
The decision to administer injections (was) made by medical personnel. They are a
dministered without violence. . . . No assault was committed . . . there is no c
riminal act, the report found.
But the officers never pressed to see Smiths medical files, which the family said
it consented to release. A psychiatrist retained by the federal correctional in
vestigator who did examine the records found that Smiths behaviour did not warran
t emergency medical intervention against her will.
Dr. Paul Beaudry said he detected no medical condition affecting Smiths capacity
to give informed consent, which is required by law.
Sapers, the correctional investigator who commissioned the Beaudry report, said
the use of physical and chemical restraints on Smith was troubling and unwarranted.
There is certainly no way you can find a problem with the medical care of Ashley
Smith if you never look at the medical file, Falconer said.
You certainly cant find that antipsychotics werent prescribed if you dont look at th
e prescriptions.
The Sret du Qubec has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Smith died Oct. 19, 2007, after strangling herself with a strip of cloth inside
her segregation cell at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener.
By the time of her death, she had been shipped across the country from instituti
on to institution 17 times in less than a year. She spent most of that period in
solitary confinement units, which the family says contributed to her deteriorat
ing mental health.
Smith was punted to the federal system as a young offender who was jailed after
stealing a CD and throwing crab apples at a postal worker in her hometown of Mon
cton, N.B. Her initial sentence ballooned because of institutional offences.
An inquest into her death is underway in Toronto with lawyers arguing about the
proceedings scope and witness list.
Government lawyers have told presiding coroner Dr. John Carlisle he does not hav
e the authority to examine Smiths life outside of Ontario.
The family, supported by other parties, including the Canadian Association of El
izabeth Fry Societies and the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth, say an
inquest that aims to prevent similar tragedies must look at how Smiths treatment
in federal custody affected her state of mind.
Federal leaders addressed the Smith case in Parliament on Thursday.
During question period, Liberal Bob Rae (Toronto Centre) asked Harper why the go
vernment has consistently taken the position that the jurisdiction of the coroner
has to be restricted, a position antithetical to the interests of the truth and t
he interests of the family.
This is the second inquest into Smiths death. The first was derailed when the pre
siding coroner retired after lengthy delays caused by legal arguments over juris
diction and scope.
Why is this happening? Rae asked Harper.
There is a coroners inquest under way, the Conservative leader said. There are argum
ents between lawyers on some of the procedural matters and we will let those get
resolved in due course. However, we will be looking carefully, as we always hav
e, at what additional investments need to be made in the mental health aspects o
f our Corrections policies.
An inquest jury is expected to begin hearing evidence in January.

They were calling to awaken the dead.

Ashley?
Its been long enough, you need to take that off now.
Sit up so you can come over here and I can cut it off.
You need to get up!
ASHLEY!
For nine minutes at least correctional guards had listened to Ashley Smiths labou
red breathing, watching her through the viewing panel on the door of her segrega
tion cell at Grand Valley Institution for Women, heard her ragged gasps for air.
The teenager was slumped over in a corner, wedged between a steel cot and the wa
ll, clad in a security gown material that doesnt tear, to prevent inmates from ri
pping off an edge that might be fashioned into a ligature.
Yet there was clearly a ligature around the girls neck, visible through the hank
of hair that hung forward over her bent head.
Her breathing is raspy, the only sound on a videotape that begins according to t
he digital time in the bottom corner at 6:48 a.m., Oct. 19, 2007.
A rattling expulsion of breath, at first slow, then briefly rapid, then nothing
for agonizing minutes that feel like hours.
Ashley is dying.
The guards had been expressly told not to intervene when Ashley pulled these stu
nts, because it had become a tiresome habit. As long as the inmate was still bre
athing, do not enter.
So they waited.
Four minutes, six minutes, nine minutes. Her face is turning purple. At 6:57, fi
nally, they open the cell door.
Valentino (Rudy) Burnett, who was just coming off shift as a patrolling guard on
the maximum security range, turned around when hed heard the out-call for all avail
able staff to report to the segregation unit. A video camera was shoved into his
hands, though he knew nothing about how to operate it. Still, he managed to get
it rolling. They would possibly enter Miss Smiths cell and they needed somebody t
o videotape it, Burnett told a coroners inquest on Monday.
Burnett claimed he knew little about Ashleys case, only what hed picked up here an
d there from other guards, that she was a problematic inmate. A corrections officer
at Grand Valley several years earlier, hed left and was working at a Hamilton ha
lfway house for men; had only recently been asked back to help out because the p
enitentiary was short-staffed.
Six guards in full gear go into the cell and Burnett is filming from behind them
.
There appears no sense of urgency, at first. The guards dont touch Ashley. Theyve
been here before, in similar situations with the girl, whos done this numerous ti
mes. And they waste precious minutes urging the 19-year-old to knock it off now.

She is not responding. She hasnt moved a muscle.

At 6:58.04, one of the guards calls for a nurse to be summoned.
ASHLEY! ASHLEY! ASHLEY!
You need to get up.
Is she breathing?
Now theyre clearly alarmed.
Oh my God, is she OK? Come on Ashley, wake up!
From another of the four segregation cells on the unit, an inmate is shouting, w
ants to know whats going on. Tell her to shut up, a guard says. Thats enough! We dont
ant to hear it.
Theyre crowding around Ashley, fretful, laying the girl out on her stomach, clear
ly confused about what to do. Jesus Christ, I havent had my CPR training in 11 yea
rs, says one.
Ashley, come on honey, breathe!
Can she hear any of this, the guards calling Ashley back from that in-between tw
ilight that separates life from death, on the edge of existence? Has her soul al
ready escaped this cell?
At 7:04: Are you f---ing kidding me? Where is the ambulance?
One of the guards begins mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, another starts chest comp
ressions. At 7:06 by the videotape clock (7:08 according to the watch worn by a
female guard whos calling out times), the staff nurse arrives.
At 7:09, paramedics are on the scene, just as the guards are pulling Ashley from
her cell. Firefighters get there two minutes later. The emergency responders ta
ke over, place a manual oxygen bag over Ashleys face and connect the teenager to
a machine that analyzes heart rhythms. A digitalized voice commands them when to
suspend compressions and check patient. It says, repeatedly: No shock advised. No def
ibrillator jolt to the heart with paddles, that means.
They are patient and methodical and not giving up.
At 7:30 a.m., Ashley is placed on a gurney. At 7:39 shes in the ambulance, being
transported to St. Marys General Hospital in Kitchener, vital signs absent. At 8:
09, she is pronounced dead.
This long-delayed and periodically derailed coroners inquest is tasked with deter
mining why the tragedy occurred, how Ashley came to die in a segregation cell sp
ending nearly all of the previous 11 months in isolation at various institutions
, shunted 17 times among nine penal facilities in five provinces asphyxiated by
a strip of cloth tied around her neck, right under the eyes of half a dozen guar
ds.
Ashley had undoubtedly been an incorrigible inmate, chronically self-harming. Its
impossible to say whether this tragic event had been a genuine suicide plan or
if Ashley who desperately sought attention, human contact had assumed shed be sav
ed again, as so often before.

Three guards and a supervisor were charged with criminal negligence but the pros
ecution was dropped after a preliminary hearing. A warden and deputy warden were
fired.
Burnett had been among those charged.
Will you agree with me, Mr. Burnett, that you in essence videoed somebodys death? as
ked Julian Falconer, lawyer for the Smith family.
Despite the blatant evidence that had just been seen by the five-woman jury, Bur
nett rejected Falconers accusation.
While I was videotaping her, I saw her chest rising on a number of occasions. I h
eard her breathing on a number of occasions. As far as I was concerned, I was vi
deotaping someone who was alive.
Burnett was adamant that hed been a blameless party simply following directions t
o point and film, handing over the video camera to another individual after 17 m
inutes. It wasnt his look-out to rescue Ashley from this crisis, as he filmed dur
ing those interminable minutes, first through the opened cuff port panel and then f
rom inside the cell.
Falconer persisted. Your position today is she wasnt in trouble, I didnt video her d
eath . . . you maintain she was not in trouble, therefore there was nobody to sav
e?
Burnett: No. Thats not my job.
Repeatedly, he emphasized that point. It was not my place to step in that morning
. I was there to record, thats it.
Under earlier questioning from Jocelyn Speyer, counsel for the presiding coroner
, Dr. John Carlisle, Burnett testified he was largely unfamiliar with Ashleys sel
f-harming history, yet acknowledged that, on just his second fill-in shift at Gr
and Valley, hed witnessed guards dragging the teen out of an interview room on th
e segregation unit. She had something tied around her neck. She was having diffic
ulty with some life-threatening problem and they were getting her out of there a
s fast as possible.
The remainder of the death video filming resumed after Ashley had been transported
from the facility shows the deputy warden at Grand Valley speaking directly to t
he camera from his office.
For the record, presumably, he states Ashley had tied a ligature around her thro
at and that guards had been told to respond to this inmate if she was seen to be
in distress. She came into distress.
At 8:04 a.m.: I will now be turning off the camera.

On a windswept hillside on the outskirts of Halifax stands what many call the ho
use of horrors.
Opened in 1921, it is the original site of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Chil
dren.
It was supposed to be a symbol of caring and protection for orphaned and abandon
ed black children.
It has instead become what many allege is ground zero of a devastating abuse sca
ndal spanning several decades.
Nearly 100 former residents have joined a proposed class-action lawsuit against
the former orphanage and the Nova Scotia government, claiming they suffered ment
al, physical and sexual abuse at the home.
A judge will decide in Nova Scotia Supreme Court next June whether the case can
be certified and move ahead.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Their tragic stories are contained in affidavits some of which date back to the
1920s compiled by the Halifax law firm of Raymond F. Wagner, who is representing
the former residents in their class-action.
Stacks of these documents viewed by W5s investigative team cover the massive tabl
e in the firms conference room from one end to the other.
According to W5s report, which airs Saturday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. on CTV, Wagner all
eges the documents show the home and the Nova Scotia government ensured that any

whisper of abuse or neglect was silenced.

The Nova Scotia Ministry of Community and Social Services as well as Nova Scotias
justice department refused comment to W5 because of the proposed class-action.
Wagner points to documents ranging from affidavits to government correspondence
and obtained by the law firm through freedom-of-information requests detailing c
oncerns raised in the early years by social workers who visited the home.
As I have received several other complaints about the children being abused . . .
I feel it is time that a thorough investigation was made as to just what is goi
ng on there, a social worker wrote in a report prepared by the home in 1954.
W5 could find no evidence that an investigation ever happened.
The most disturbing document viewed by W5 a major incident report prepared by th
e home and obtained by Wagner law firm through a freedom-of-information request
involves the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl on June 6, 1983.
According to the report, the homes board of directors suspended the alleged rapis
t, a child-care worker and driver at the home, nearly three weeks later, on June
24.
The teen was taken to hospital and received 18 stitches. She was later transferr
ed to another group home. Police do not appear to have been notified of the alle
ged assault.
The accused was later hired by a nearby daycare centre as a bus driver. He was s
uspended last year when the allegations became public.
The alleged rape victim has declined to be part of the class-action suit. She wa
nts to protect her privacy.
But 13 other women are part of the proposed class-action, claiming they were abu
sed by that same man when they were children.
The 14-year-olds alleged rapist wasnt the only sexual predator in the home, says f
ormer resident Tracey Dorrington, now 47, who recently summoned the courage to t
ell W5 her own claims of rape and abuse detailed in her affidavit.
(He) slammed me against the wall . . . and rubbed himself against me. He forced m
e to perform oral sex on him and he raped me, Dorrington said in her affidavit of
her own alleged attacker. Like the other alleged rape victim, Dorrington was on
ly 14 years old.
I was scared to tell, Dorrington told W5, adding her attacker told her: No one is e
ver going to believe you. Youre a tomboy, youre ugly. Who the hell is going to bel
ieve you?
As part of the proposed class-action, Dorrington and five other former residents
are suing the home over claims of sexual and emotional abuse by the man she all
eges raped her.
In total, 19 victims are alleging physical and sexual abuse at the hands of two
men. They allege the home and government officials were aware of the abuse and d
id nothing.
Both men declined repeated requests by W5 to be interviewed. One of them has den
ied the allegations against him to a Halifax reporter.
In an exclusive interview with W5, Veronica Marsman, the homes executive director
and a former resident, said she was reluctant to discuss matters that are before
the court. Marsman, who was the homes supervisor at the time of the alleged 1983
rape, did tell W5: Im not even clear if I even knew exactly what did take place.
Sitting in the dining room at his home, Tony Smith, a popular local singer and f
ormer addictions and mental-health counsellor, is still haunted by his memories
of the Home for Colored Children.
It was hell living in that place, he recalls.
Smith, the product of a broken home, was brought to the orphanage by police in 1
965. He remembers staff making good friends fight one another for sport.
I would refuse to fight anybody, Smith said. As a result he was smacked or punched
on the side of the head by staff and then ordered to go into the woods and bring
back a switch . . . and then the embarrassment of being beaten in front of all th
e kids.
But his worst memory was when his best friend, nine-year-old Anthony Langford, w
as beaten unconscious by a gang of boys because he would not give up his dessert
to a bully.

They rushed him to hospital that night, Smith said, his eyes welling with tears.
Anthony died.
I told the staff what had happened and they told me to shut up and stop telling l
ies, and if I was ever to say this lie again Im going to get a severe beating, wo
rse than I ever had.
Smith, now 52, was the first former resident of the home to go public with his s
tory.
Theres an old saying: the truth hurts and the truth will set you free . . . If the
y accept the truth, the truth will free us all to move forward, and thats what Im
looking for, Smith said.
The home is now located in two newer buildings down the road from the old home,
just outside Dartmouth. Its now a short-term residence for children of all races.
In 1994, the homes board of directors commissioned a book on the history of the N
ova Scotia Home for Colored Children. Its called: Share and Care.
Smith was given a signed copy by the author, Charles Saunders. He signed it: To T
ony. This is not the story you would have told.

David Cameron announces inquiries into dreadful Tory child abuse claims

David Cameron has ordered an investigation that threatens to expose a senior Tor
y politician as a member of a child sex ring in North Wales.

10:00PM GMT 05 Nov 2012
The Prime Minister said the truly dreadful allegations of abuse from the 1970s, in
cluding some involving the unidentified senior Conservative, could not be left ha
nging in the air.
The announcement, during a trip to Abu Dhabi, was made three days after a victim
told BBCs Newsnight that he was raped more than a dozen times by the man when he w
as just 13 years old.
Mr Camerons swift action highlights the political sensitivity surrounding the iss
ue after the BBC was accused by its own journalists of covering up a programme a
bout sex abuse by Jimmy Savile.
The investigation will examine whether a judicial inquiry ordered in 1996 by Wil
liam Hague, the then secretary of state for Wales, was properly constituted and p
roperly did its job. Mr Hague could appear as a witness in any new inquiry.
Separately, Downing Street confirmed a second inquiry into the police handling o
f the scandal, which could be led by a retired Chief Constable or the Child Expl
oitation and Online Protection Centre.

Detectives were last night poised to reopen the criminal inquiry into abuse at c
hildrens homes in North Wales.
Mr Cameron said: Child abuse is an absolutely hateful and abhorrent crime and the
se allegations are truly dreadful and they mustnt be left hanging in the air, so
Im taking action today.
Im going to be asking a senior independent figure to lead an urgent investigation
into whether the original inquiry was properly constituted and properly did its
job and to report urgently to the government.
Yvette Cooper, Labours Shadow Home Secretary, said a robust and thorough criminal i

nvestigation into the allegations at child homes in North Wales must be launched
.
It is deeply troubling if once again the victims of abuse have not been believed
or taken seriously, she said.
On Friday, Steve Messham, a sex abuse victim, told BBCs Newsnight that he had bee
n taken out of a care home and sold to men for sexual abuse at a nearby hotel and
that a senior Tory from the time was among the perpetrators.
The senior Conservative was described at the original public inquiry as a shadowy
figure of high public standing.
Mr Messham will now meet David Jones, the Welsh Secretary, this afternoon, to di
scuss the allegations in detail.
A number of government departments, including the Home Office and the Wales Offi
ce, have also been asked to report to Number 10 with historic records of any all
egations.
The senior Tory accused of child abuse has strenuously denied the allegations. H
e told The Daily Telegraph that he has only visited Wrexham in North Wales, wher
e the abuse took place, on one occasion.
He said: Some guy said I was in the habit of taking young men from Wrexham in my
Rolls-Royce.
But I have only been to Wrexham once and I didnt visit the childrens home, I made a
speech to the constituency. I was with an official at all times. I never had a
Rolls Royce.
When the inquiry was taking place I hired a lawyer to watch it in case there was
any mention of my name. The point is that it is totally without any grounds what
soever.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, abuse was endemic in childrens care homes in Nort
h Wales.
Children were systematically raped by paedophiles entrusted by the state with th
eir care, or ferried by to hotels and country homes where they were abused.
In 1996 Mr Hague, announced a judge-led inquiry, describing the abuse as one of
the saddest chapters in the history of social care.
The inquiry, led by Sir Ronald Waterhouse, heard evidence from more than 650 peo
ple who had been in care from 1974 and took three years to complete.
While the final report appeared exhaustive, however, critics said its remit to e
xamine abuse on care home premises was too limited.
Victims were even more concerned by an order made at the time of the publication
of the inquiry in 2000, which banned the identification of 28 alleged abusers.
They included the senior Conservative accused of abusing Mr Messham. Mr Messham
says that when he went to police in the 1970s, he was accused of being a liar an
d his evidence was ignored.
At the public inquiry, he said he had received threats and that both his house a
nd car had been destroyed. He was not taking chances any more, the report found.

His allegations about the senior Tory were supported by a second victim, who sai
d the politician had taken him for a meal which he paid for with his gold credit
card before he abused him. The man also had a Harrods account card.
Sir Ronald dismissed the allegations as embarking on the realm of fantasy. It is ob
vious on this evidence that we cannot be satisfied that any member of the X [the
politicians] family was involved in paedophile activity.
While the Newsnight investigation was unable to name the man for legal reasons,
over the weekend he widely identified via hundreds of messages on Twitter. Sever
al other politicians not suspected of any involvement were also included in the
messages.
Tom Watson, the Labour MP, last night urged Mr Cameron to go further. In an open
letter to the Prime Minister he claimed there was evidence liking a No. 10 aide
to a paedophile ring.
He said: Your advisers will tell you to be wary of opening the floodgates. They are
wrong. Their decorous caution is the friend of the paedophile. Narrowing the in
quiry equals hiding the truth. That is the reality and it is not what you want.

How Tory paedophile claims were covered up

WHEN William Hague, the then Secretary of State for Wales, announced in 1996 a j
udicial inquiry into abuse in North Wales children s homes, he described it as o
ne of the "saddest chapters" in the history of social care and insisted there wo
uld be "no cover up".

y-paedophile-claims-were-covered-up.html
But yesterday, 16 years later, David Cameron was forced admit the inquiry was no
t all his party had hoped.
He announced that a "senior figure" would investigate "truly dreadful" child abu
se claims some of which involved a senior Tory figure who was prominent under th
e Thatcher regime.
In the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, he said there were questions over wheth
er the North Wales child abuse "was properly constituted and properly did its jo
b. "These allegations are truly dreadful and mustn t be left hanging in the air,
" he said.
For the victims who have spent a generation fighting for the chance to make thei
r voices heard and to name their abusers, Mr Cameron s commitment offers them ca
use for hope.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, abuse was endemic in children s care homes in No
rth Wales.

Children were systematically raped in care homes by paedophiles entrusted by the
state with their care or ferried by paedophile rings to hotels and country home
s where they were abused.
In the 1990s, as the allegations of the abuse started to surface, Clwyd County C
ouncil commissioned an independent inquiry into the claims.
The report, however, was never published and copies were pulped to ensure the lo
cal authority was able to maintain its insurance cover in what was described as
one of the "worst cover ups" in the history of social care.
Amid growing public pressure, Mr Hague intervened. The judicial inquiry, led by
Sir Ronald Waterhouse, heard evidence from more than 650 people who had been in
care from 1974 and took three years to complete.
While the final report appeared exhaustive, however, it had several severe limit
ations. According to critics, its main scope was to examine abuse on care home p
remises, limiting investigations about abuse elsewhere.
Even more onerous, however, was an order made at the time of the original inquir
y which banned the identification of 28 alleged abusers. They included a senior
Conservative from the Thatcher era who allegedly abused one victim in a hotel ro
om alongside eight other paedophiles.
At the time of the publication of the report in 2000, there were few dissenters.
But after the Jimmy Savile scandal left the BBC facing institutional paralysis a
nd allegations of a cover up, concerns surrounding the North Wales allegations e
merged once again.
On Friday, the BBC s Newsnight programme broadcast allegations from Steve Messha
m, who is now 49. Mr Messham told in harrowing detailed how he was sexually assu
alted for 18 months from 1977 when he was living in a children s home in North W
ales.
In particular, he described how he had been raped "more than a dozen times" by a
man who was described at the original public inquiry as a "shadowy figure of hi
gh public standing".
He says that when he went to police in the 1970s, he was accused of being a liar
and his evidence was ignored. At the public inquiry, he said he had received th
reats and that both his house and car had been "destroyed". "He was not taking c
hances any more," the report found.
His allegations about the senior Tory were supported by a second victim, who sai
d the politician had taken him for a meal which he paid for with his "gold credi
t card" before he abused him. The man also had a Harrods account card".

In both cases, Sir Ronald dismissed the allegations as "embarking on the realm o
f fantasy". "It is obvious on this evidence that we cannot be satisfied that any
member of the X [the politician s] family was involved in paedophile activity."
The politician told The Daily Telegraph last week that he strenuously denied the
claims and had never visited the childrens home. He threatened to sue the BBC if
the corporation decided to name him.
While the Newsnight investigation was unable to name the man for legal reasons,
over the weekend he widely identified via hundreds of messages on Twitter. Sever
al other politicians not suspected of any involvement were also included in the
messages.
Amid growing public concern Keith Towler, the Childrens Commissioner for Wales, c
alled for a new investigation into allegations of abuse. He said it was clearly w
rong that Mr Messham was prevented from talking about his alleged attacker at the
original inquiry. Unless you do that, that level of suspicion will always be aro
und that there is a cover up.
Yesterday, Mr Cameron appeared to have heeded his advice.

Jimmy Savile: BBC investigates 20 employees over sexual misconduct

The BBC is now investigating about 20 allegations of sexual misconduct against i
ts staff as the number of Jimmy Savile s alleged victims bringing legal action r
ises to 43.

Solicitors Slater and Gordon are representing 36 people who were aged between ei
ght and 23 when they say they were abused by the Jim ll Fix It Star.
The law firm has sent letters before action, warning that the alleged victims in
tend to pursue compensation claims, to the BBC, Leeds General Infirmary, Stoke M
andeville and Broadmoor hospitals, and the executors of Savile s estate.
Another firm of solicitors, Pannone, has sent letters of claim to Savile s estat
e on behalf of seven potential victims, one of whom has also made a claim agains
t the BBC.
It is understood that the BBC is now investigating some 20 members of staff for
alleged sexual misconduct.
George Entwistle, the BBCs new director-general, told MPs last month that between
eight and 10 former and current BBC staff and contributors had been named as al
leged perpetrators of sexual abuse.

Jimmy Savile: Mark Thompson admits

lack of imagination over Newsnight repo

rt
05 Nov 2012
A BBC spokesman said: All new allegations are passed to the BBC Investigations Un
it or to the police as appropriate. Numbers will fluctuate both up and down as n
ew allegations are made and investigated.
Once they have been investigated either resulting in further action or the matter
being cleared and resolved the cases will be closed.
Meanwhile, Mark Thompson, the former BBC director-general, has admitted he may h
ave suffered a lack of imagination when he failed to ask detailed questions about
why Newsnights investigation into Jimmy Savile was cancelled.
Mr Thompson today faced fresh questions from The New York Times, where he is due
to take over as chief executive next week, about whether he should have known m
ore about the axed report and Saviles decades of sexual abuse while working for t
he BBC.
A BBC foreign correspondent told Mr Thompson at a Christmas drinks party last De
cember of Newsnight journalists concerns about the scrapping of the Savile expose
.
The former director-general said he did not ask about the specifics of the inves
tigation but raised the issue with BBC News management the next day.
Mr Thompson said he was assured that Peter Rippon, Newsnights editor, halted the
Savile probe for journalistic reasons.
I wasnt told any specific lines of inquiry and certainly not anything related to t
he BBC, he told The New York Times.
It didnt occur to me that there was a contemporary corporate interest to defend. Y
ou can say its a lack of imagination.
The New York Times, which has already published several critical articles about
Mr Thompsons handling of the Savile affair, suggested today that the former BBC h
ead and his top executives repeatedly missed chances to uncover the full story abo
ut Newsnights investigation into the late TV star.
The paper stated in a news report: Whether through a series of near misses or a m
ore deliberate avoidance, the executives failed to confront questions about Mr.
Savile and the possibility that, in decades past, the BBC was somehow complicit
in his behavior.
The BBC has been accused of pulling the report into Saviles abuse because it was
planning to broadcast Christmas tribute shows about the presenter and DJ.
Cuttings of newspaper articles about the decision to pull the Newsnight report w
ould have been sent to senior BBC managers and possibly discussed at a daily 9.1
5am conference call with Mr Thompson, former executives at the Corporation told
The New York Times.
Mr Thompson said he did not remember seeing any stories about Savile in the clip

pings.
The former director-general insists that he played no part in the controversial
decision to pull the Newsnight report into the Jimll Fix It stars abuse, and has s
aid he believes he did nothing wrong.
A spokesman for Mr Thompson declined to comment further

Independent inquiry to examine claims of Jersey abuse

Claims that Sir Jimmy Savile abused girls at a childrens home in Jersey are to be
examined by a new independent inquiry.

It comes after revelations about the late TV presenter reawakened concerns about
his visits to Haut de la Garenne.
One senior BBC presenter at the time said: I always thought he was a horrible man
, quite frankly. We all knew he was up to something we just didnt know what - Jimm

Jimmy Savile
Four years ago, the home was the subject of a police investigation over allegati
ons that it was at the centre of a paedophile ring. Lenny Harper, the officer wh
o led the probe, said last month that while Saviles name had come up there was no
t enough evidence to charge him.
Steptoe and Son actor Wilfrid Brambell, who died in 1985, has also been linked t
o claims of abuse involving the home.
Plans for the inquiry, which will look into claims of child abuse over several d
ecades on Jersey, have been put forward by the island s government and will now
be put to the vote in its parliament.
It will question victims and staff members as well as looking at how the governm
ent dealt with concerns about abuse, and whether allegations were dealt with imp
artially and free from political interference.

Ian Gorst, the chief minister, said: We believe the inquiry we are proposing will

of the lessons which need to be learned from our past.
It is the tenth investigation to be set up following revelations about Saviles al
leged abuse at the BBC and at hospitals, and further claims about abuse at care
homes in North Wales said to involve a senior Tory.
The Prime Minister has come under pressure to launch an over-arching inquiry int
o all the claims but today Andrew Lansley, Leader of the House of Commons, told
the BBCs World at One that such an all-embracing probe might be too slow.
Meanwhile, a former social services director who led a 1990s inquiry into abuse
at care homes in north Wales said that it was not told of allegations involving
a senior Tory.
John Jillings said those named by victims had included staff members from the ho

as has been suggested.
Mr Jillings, 78, said he could not recall claims about a senior Tory.
He said: I am sure that that would have lodged in my mind and we would have wante

Steve Messham, who claims that he was abused by the senior Tory, disputed Mr Jil

David Cameron ambushed with paedophile list by Phillip Schofield on This Morning
Accusations of child abuse are in danger of turning into "a witch-hunt" against
people who are gay, David Cameron has said after he was ambushed by Phillip Scho

The Prime Minister sounded a warning as he was handed a list of suspected paedop
hiles on ITV s This Morning programme.

He has promised a number of inquiries into "shocking" allegations of child abuse

in recent weeks, including claims that a Tory peer raped a boy of 13 in north W
ales in the 1970s.
However, he cautioned against getting carried away in the current rush to identi
fy new abusers, amid a spate of inquiries into the north Wales abuse, Jimmy Savi
le and other celebrities.
He said he is "worried" that it could turn into a witch hunt against famous peop
le who happen to be homosexual.
"I ve heard all sorts of names being banded around and what then tends to happen
is, of course, everyone sits around and speculates about people. Some on whom a
re alive, some of whom are dead," he told This Morning.
"I do think it s very important that anyone who s got any information about any
paedophile no matter how high up in the country or whether they are alive or dea
d, go to the police.
"There is a danger, if we re not careful, that this can turn into a sort of witc
h-hunt, particularly against people who are gay."
There are fears that Phillip Schofield, the ITV presenter, may have accidentally
revealed the list on screen as he presented it to The Prime Minister.
Mr Cameron did not look at the list of names and urged anyone who has been abuse
d to contact police.
Schofield said he had found the names after spending
ing the internet.

about three minutes trawl

William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, also promised today to leave "no stone unt
urned" in the hunt for the truth about the scale of child abuse.
He has been accused by one of the alleged victims of "stifling" a previous inqui
ry into the north Wales abuse by making its remit too narrow.
"It is very, very important that we do everything possible to get to the truth a
bout these matters," he told ITV News. "It s really of huge importance, thats why
I ordered an inquiry back in 1996 and I strongly support what the Home Secretar
y has announced this week.
"If theres anything more to look at it must be looked at. Really, there must be n
o stone unturned in these matters. So, I welcome what the Home Secretary has ann
ounced and lets make sure that anything that can be discovered, any additional fa

Last night, Downing Street warned that innocent men are now at risk of being sme
ared in trial by Twitter, amid a spate of inquiries into alleged abuse by a Tory g
randee, Jimmy Savile and other celebrities.
The Prime Ministers official spokesman called for caution, saying people shouldnt t

hrow accusations around and smear people.

There are lots of accusations flying round and many accusations on the internet.
We need to be very careful, he said.
People need to be cautious of the fact that naming names could have implications
for future criminal prosecutions.
Sources said Mr Cameron was unhappy about ITVs silly stunt and his aides feel the i
ssue was badly handled.
During the uncomfortable interview, the Prime Minister did not look at the list,
which Mr Schofield had compiled from the internet in about three minutes.
Mr Cameron has already promised a number of inquiries into truly dreadful allegati
ons of child abuse in recent weeks, including claims that a senior Tory figure r
aped a boy of 13 in north Wales in the 1970s.
However, he cautioned against getting carried away in a rush to identify new abu
sers.
Ive heard all sorts of names being banded around and what then tends to happen is,
of course, everyone sits around and speculates about people. Some of whom are a
live, some of whom are dead, he told This Morning.
I do think its very important that anyone whos got any information about any paedop
hile no matter how high up in the country or whether they are alive or dead, go
to the police.
There is a danger, if were not careful, that this can turn into a sort of witch-hu
nt, particularly against people who are gay.
Mr Schofield later apologised, saying he would never have been involved in any k
ind of witch hunt.
If any viewer was able to identify anyone listed, I would like to apologise and s
tress that was never my intention, he said.
I was not accusing anyone of anything and it is essential that it is understood t
hat I would never be part of any kind of witch hunt.
Unfortunately there may have been a misjudged camera angle for a split second as
I showed the Prime Minister some information I had obtained from the internet.
Mr Camerons apparent association of homosexuals with child abuse also drew critic
ism on social networking websites. However, Downing Street insisted he meant no
offence and was referring to the nature of specific internet rumours.
Amid the furore over the list of suspects, William Hague, the Foreign Secretary,
repeated promises to leave no stone unturned in the hunt for the truth about the
scale of child abuse.
He has been accused by one of the alleged victims of stifling a previous inquiry i
nto the North Wales abuse by making its remit too narrow.
It is very, very important that we do everything possible to get to the truth abo
ut these matters, he told ITV News. Its really of huge importance, thats why I order
ed an inquiry back in 1996 and I
strongly support what the Home Secretary has announced this week.

If theres anything more to look at it must be looked at. Really,

there must be no stone unturned in these matters. So, I welcome what
the Home Secretary has announced and lets make sure that anything
that can be discovered, any additional fact that can discovered is
actually found.

Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP for Smith s former constituency in Rochdale, descri
bed him as a "29 stone bully" who "imposed himself" on his victims whom he "humi
liated and terrified".
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9675861/Sir-Cyril-Smith-sexually-ab
used-boys-MP-tells-Commons.html
The allegations were investigated by Lancashire Police in the 1960s but no actio
n was taken.
Mr Danczuk said some alleged victims had only now come forward in the wake of th
e Jimmy Savile scandal and it was time to find out "why was this allowed to happ
en".
Smith s brother, Norman, said he was "staggered" the MP was blackening the name
of Sir Cyril, who died in 2010, adding that the police found at the time that th
ere was no case to answer.
Barry Fitton, a former resident of the Cambridge House hostel in Rochdale, told
the website politicshome.com that when he was 15 Smith would make him strip, sma
cked his bare bottom and then stroked his buttocks.

On another occasion, Smith subjected him to a "medical" that involved him stroki
ng his thighs and testicles.
Another former resident, Eddie Shorrock, who was 17, said Smith, who founded the

hostel and had keys to its premises, also gave him a "medical" whenever he took
time off work.
Mr Danczuk said a third victim, who wished to remain anonymous, had contacted hi
m today to describe the "abuse meted out by Sir Cyril".
Rumours about child abuse dogged Smith for much of his life, and appeared in a l
ocal magazine and in Private Eye in 1979.
Mr Danczuk, referring to the recent Rochdale grooming scandal, said: "Attempts t
o suppress the truth are not new in Rochdale.
"Sir Cyril Smith was a political giant in Rochdale but his career was continuall
y dogged by allegations that he had abused boys...these allegations must be prop
erly investigated and the seriousness of the victims complaints must be acknowl
eged.
"Young boys were humiliated, terrified and reduced to quivering wrecks by this 2
9-stone bully imposing himself on them."
Mr Danczuk made the comments during a debate on child sexual exploitation.
He said it had been suggested that the file on the case which was prepared by La
ncashire Police was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions at the time.
It has also been claimed that when the Coalition government was formed in 1974,
when Smith could have been made a minister, Special Branch asked for a copy of t
he report from Lancashire Police. Smith, who never married, was reportedly quest
ioned by police but was later told there was insufficient evidence for a prosecu
tion.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We believe there was an investigation i
n the late 1960s but as no records are now held it cannot be ascertained whether
a file was passed to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
"While we take matters such as this extremely seriously we have not received any
further allegations and at this time there is no ongoing investigation in relat
ion to this matter."

Savile declared love for Margaret Thatcher in handwritten letter

Jimmy Savile s hold over Downing Street in the 1980s is revealed in a series of
letters in which he declares his "love" for Margaret Thatcher, according to newl
y released records.

e/9767912/Savile-declared-love-for-Margaret-Thatcher-in-handwritten-letter.html
National Archives files show that Savile met with Mrs Thatcher at both Downing S

treet and Chequers in his successful attempts to secure a 500,000 donation from t
he government for the rebuilding of Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
In a hand-written letter, sent to Mrs Thatcher in February 1980, Savile says his
"girl patients" were "madly jealous" of her. He later asked her to appear on Ji
m ll Fix It, a request which she declined.
Since his death it has emerged that Savile allegedly sexually abused sick girls
at the hospital, some of whom were as young as eight. As a major donor at the ho
spital he was left "free to roam" the wards and even had his own room.
The hospital is only three miles from the Prime Minister s official residence, C
hequers, and Savile became a friend of Mrs Thatcher. The pair reportedly spent N
ew Year s Eve together 11 years in a row.
However, the Cabinet Office refused to release a record of a telephone conversat
ion between Thatcher and Savile in February 1980 and an undated letter because t
hey were considered "confidential". They will not be published for another decad
e.

The first meeting detailed in the previously secret files took place in February
1980. A week later Savile sent Thatcher a hand written note on "Jim s Daily Do
zen paper, in which he said he had delayed writing because he didn t want to ap
pear too "effusive".
He wrote: "Dear Prime Minister. I waited a week before writing to thank you for
my lunch invitation because I had such a superb time I didn t want to be too eff
usive.
"My girl patients pretended to be madly jealous + wanted to know what you wore +
what you ate. All the paralyzed lads called me Sir James all week.
"They all love you. Me too!! Jimmy Savile OBE xxx."
In January 1981 Savile and Mrs Thatcher met for lunch at Chequers, where he aske
d her for a "goodwill gesture" from the government in the form of a donation to
Stoke Mandeville.
Caroline Stephens, her personal secretary, subsequently wrote: "Can you kindly l
et me know if you made any promises to Jimmy Savile when he lunched with you yes
terday, for instance:
"(i) Did you offer him any money for Stoke Mandeville?
"(ii) Did you tell him that you would appear on Jim ll Fix It?"
The first question is annotated by hand by Thatcher, saying: "will tell you in d

etail. MT", while next to the second is a simple "no".

Mike Pattison, then Number 10 private secretary, told Health Minister Dr Gerard
Vaughan s private secretary that Savile met with Thatcher with the hospital s pl
ans and suggested a "government grant" as a goodwill gesture.
"The Prime Minister said was he thinking of a million pounds and Mr Savile repli
ed that they would be grateful for any sum, and that there was absolutely no hur
ry at all, and that equally he would understand if she had to come back to him a
nd say that this was not possible," he wrote.
At the time, the Conservatives had made significant cuts to benefits for disable
d people. Norman Fowler, the Health Secretary, wrote to the Prime Minister to sa
y that a 500,000 donation to the Stoke Mandeville spinal injuries unit would help
show that the government s support for disabled people "had not ended".

Four men and a woman, believed to be police officers left the property carrying

The arrest came several hours after a 53-year-old man from Hampshire was also ar

It is understood the man, who was questioned locally, was also an entertainer, w

They are the ninth and tenth people to be arrested as part of Operation Yewtree,

Other high profile names who have been arrested as part of the wide ranging inve

Mr Davidson was understood to be preparing to take part in Channel 5s Celebrity B

The late entertainer will be accused of assaulting the sick and dying as well as
hundreds of other people including children, when the police publish its report
into the scandal later this week, according to The Sunday Times.
The Metropolitan Police is expected to reveal more details of the allegations th
at have poured in against Savile since revelations were first made public on a t
elevision documentary last October.
A report will list all the establishments, including hospital, prisons and schoo
ls where Savile preyed on his victims.
But it is also expected to reveal for the first time that Savile attacked the pa
tients and staff of a hospice he visited under the guise of carrying out charity
work.
Saviles association with Stoke Mandeville, Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor
hospitals is well known, but it is thought he may have abused people in at least
seven other institutions around the UK.

Some hospitals allowed him to wander the wards freely and in some cases he was e

Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in
Childhood, said: This will really shake people. There seems to be no end to the
places where that guy attacked people.
Mark Williams-Thomas, the former detective, whose ITV documentary exposed the Sa
vile allegations, added: There seems to be nowhere Savile went where he did not a

Police have already revealed that a total of 450 people have contacted detective
s to report allegations against Savile.
Officers have already recorded 199 crimes in 17 police force areas in which the
former BBC radio DJ and TV presenter is a suspect, among them 31 rape allegation

Some 82% of those who have come forward to report abuse to police are women, and

long he has taken it. He is programmed to think and act in that way. He only pic
ked the most vulnerable, the ones least likely to speak out against him."
Savile preyed on 450 victims, aged between eight and 47, over a 54-year period.
Almost a fifth of his victims were boys.
One of the most striking figures in the report relates to the number of children
under 10 who were abused by Savile.
A total of 18 girls and 10 boys under the age of 10 were abused by Savile, with
23 girls and 15 boys aged 10 to 13.
Savile s earliest reported offence was in Manchester in 1955. He went on to sexu
ally abuse children at the BBC from 1965 to 2006 - the date of the final Top of
the Pops; at Leeds General Infirmary, where he volunteered as a porter, from 196
5 to 1995; at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where he was also a porter, from 1965 t
o 1988, and at Duncroft School between 1970 and 1978.
Other offences were committed at Broadmoor secure hospital, where he had his own
room, at his holiday cottage at Glencoe in the Highlands and in his mobile home
.
Savile was investigated by police five times while he was still alive - by the M

et in the 1980s and in 2003, by Surrey Police from 2007 to 2009, by Sussex Polic
e in 2008 and by Jersey Police in 2008, but none of them resulted in charges. Th
e Crown Prosecution Service has today released a separate report into its reason
s for deciding not to press charges.
Peter Watt, NSPCC director of child protection advice and awareness, who co-wrot
e the report, said the scale of Savile s abuse "simply beggared belief".
The two most prolific years of his offending were 1975 and 1976, with 15 offence
s committed in each year.
Savile, who died in October 2011 aged 84, almost certainly abused more than 450
people, as "others will also have experienced abuse but have chosen not to speak
out", the report says.
It describes his "peak offending period" as between 1966 and 1976, when he was a
ged between 40 and 50.
Most of his victims were aged 13 to 16, with 82 per cent of them female and 18 p
er cent male. Almost three-quarters of the victims - 73 per cent - were aged und
er 18.
The report suggests that part of the reason Savile was never caught was because
at the time he was most active, "police investigation of such crimes was more ba
sic and lacked the specialist skills, knowledge and the collaborative approach o
f later years".
The report says that a "significant number" of other suspects have been identifi
ed, and Operation Yewtree continues to investigate alleged abusers who either kn
ew Savile or operated alone.
The report says that 57 alleged offences by Savile happened on hospital or hospi
ce premises, with 33 in TV or radio studios and 14 in schools.
Of the 34 rape offences, 26 victims were female and eight male.
The report also includes examples of the way Savile targeted his victims.
In 1960 a 10-year-old boy saw Savile outside a hotel and asked for his autograph
. They went inside the reception where the boy was seriously sexually assaulted.
In 1972, during a recording of Top of the Pops, a 12-year-old boy and two female
friends were groped during a break in filming, and in 2009 a 43-year-old woman
was talking to Savile on a train journey between Leeds and London when Savile pu
t his hand up her skirt.
The report concludes: "Perhaps the most important learning from this appalling c
ase is in relation to the children and adults who spoke out about Jimmy Savile a
t the time.
"Too often they were not taken seriously. We must not allow this to happen again
- those who come forward must be given a voice and swift action taken to verify
accounts of abuse."
The report says that Savile committed offences at 14 hospitals, including a Sue
Ryder hospice in Leeds and Great Ormond Street children s hospital in London.
As well as Broadmoor, he also committed an offence at Ashworth NHS High Security
Unit.

He committed 22 offences at Stoke Mandeville and 16 at Leeds General Hospital. T

he other NHS hospitals involved, where one offence was reported at each, were Br
oadmoor; Ashworth; St James Teaching Hospital, Leeds; High Royds Psychiatric Hos
pital, Leeds; Dewsbury Hospital; Wycombe General, High Wycombe; Great Ormond Str
eet; Exeter Hospital; Portsmouth Royal Hospital; St Catherine s Hospital, Birken
head and Saxondale Mental Health Hospital, Notts.
The Sue Ryder Hospice where he committed one offence in 1977 was Wheatfield Hosp
ice in Leeds.
The report adds that Savile committed offences at four schools, where he would b
e invited as a guest after featuring their pupils on Jim ll Fix It.

Patten accused of reneging on BBC pledge for Jimmy Savile hotline

Patten, the chairman of the BBC Trust, has been accused of reneging on a pl
to set up a national hotline for adults who were abused as children in the
of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

By Steven Swinford
3:02PM GMT 11 Jan 2013
The National Association for People Abused in Childhood said that both George En
twistle, the former director-general, and Tim Davie, the acting director-general
, agreed to help set up and fund the Jimmy Savile hotline.
However, Peter Saunders, chief executive of the charity, claimed that Lord Patte
n, the chairman of the BBC Trust, had intervened to block the plans.
Lord Patten yesterday denied that he had "dismissed" the idea, but admitted that
the BBC had decided "not to proceed" with the helpline.
Mr Saunders described the decision as "very sad". He said: "I had some very inte
resting and constructive talks with George Entwistle who wanted to support Napac
.
"George left and his successor wanted to carry on with that work by putting in p
lace a national survivor helpline.

"Unfortunately that has not come to pass because the chairman of the BBC has sai
d that it would not be appropriate. I think that is very sad."
The helpline was intended to offer adult victims of historic abuse advice and su
pport. Mr Saunders said the charity is struggling to maintain its own support ho
tline after cuts to national lottery funding.
The BBC Trust said it had decided not to go ahead with the plan because the NSPC
C had said its own hotline was "fully able to deal with the calls".
It said that the final decision not to support the new hotline was made by Tim D
avie, the acting director-general, and the BBC executive.
A spokesman said: "The BBC worked with, and took advice from, both the NSPCC and
NAPAC in the immediate aftermath of the Savile revelations.
"Initial discussions were held with both organisations around the need for a ded
icated hotline for victims, which would have been run by NSPCC with the assistan
ce of NAPAC.
"The Chairman of the NSPCC told Lord Patten that he believed that there was no n
eed for the BBC to establish a separate hotline as he was confident that they we
re fully able to deal with the volume of calls. Lord Patten never dismissed the
idea.
"Although NAPAC would still have preferred to launch a new helpline, the BBC dec
ided not to proceed following further discussions with both charities."

Sexual offences began in 1955, report concludes
Abuse was "vast, predatory and opportunistic"

Britains most senior prosecutor today apologised to women abused by Savile as he

disclosed that police missed three chances to take him to trial.

Asked this morning if heads should roll at the CPS because of the failings, the Pr
ime Ministers official spokesman said: That is a matter for the relevant authoriti
es.
"The Prime Ministers view on all of this is that it is absolutely right that ever
y institution involved gets to the bottom of exactly what has gone on.
The spokesman added: "These are further appalling allegations and what is requir
ed is that every organisation involved has to investigate what has gone on and g
et tot he bottom of it."

Jimmy Savile: timeline
11 Jan 2012
Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, criticised two police forces
for being "unjustifiably cautious" today and failing to properly investigate the
allegations.
He released details of a report which criticised the handling of four allegation
s involving girls as young as 14 who said they were abused by Savile in the 1970
s.
It found that police had treated the victims allegations, which were made in 20
07 and 2008, with a "degree of caution which was neither justified or necessary"
.
Surrey police failed to tell victims that other young women had made sexual abus
e allegations. The women said that they would have been prepared to give evidenc
e if they had known there were other victims.
Sussex Police told victims that greater corroboration was needed. The Crown Pros
ecution Service is also criticised in the report for failing to examine the poli
ce investigations sufficiently and for not trying to "build" a case.
Mr Starmer said he hoped the report would prove to be a "watershed" moment in th
e handling of child abuse cases by police and prosecutors.
He said: "Many people feel that for sexual offences, where it is one persons word
against anothers and there is no or little scientific or other evidence to support
the allegation, no prosecution should be brought.
"But this is to ignore the reality of many sexual offences which, by their natur
e, do not usually take place in front of witnesses and result in no meaningful s
cientific evidence.

"Taking a cautious approach to all complainants, on the ground that some might b
e making a false allegation of a sexual offence, can have the consequence that a
prosecution for a true complaint may not take place."
The Crown Prosecution Service and the Association of Chief Police Officers have
developed a new approach to the handling of child abuse cases, under which the a
ccounts of suspects will be subject to more detailed investigation.
Victims will be given more support, and a new appeal system will be developed if
they feel their accusations have not been dealt with properly.
The report by Alison Levitt QC, Mr Starmer s principal legal adviser, examined f
our allegations of child abuse which were made against Jimmy Savile in the 1970s
.
In May 2007, a complaint was made to Surrey Police alleging that Savile had sexu
ally abused a girl aged 14 at the Duncroft Children s Home. A second allegation
involving a 17-year-old girl at the home subsequently emerged. Surrey Police als
o investigated an allegation that Savile sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.
In March 2008, a complaint was made to Sussex Police that Savile had sexually as
saulted a woman in her early 20s in the back of a caravan. The two forces were a
ware of each others investigations.
Mr Starmer said: "I accept the conclusions reached by Ms. Levitt QC and, in the
interests of transparency and accountability I have decided to publish her repor
t in full. In doing so, I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for th
e shortcomings in the part played by the CPS in these cases."

Met Police commander: Jimmy Savile groomed a nation

Metropolitan Police commander Peter Spindler says the TV presenter s "offending
footprint was vast, predatory and opportunistic".
1:02PM GMT 11 Jan 2013
Commander Peter Spindler, head of the inquiry into the TV presenter s crimes, sa
id Savile had "groomed a nation" and preyed on 450 victims, aged between eight a
nd 47, over a 54-year period. Almost a fifth of his victims were boys.
"I would describe Savile as a predatory, serial sex offender. He was an opportun
ist who at times who would also groom children or young people as part of his of
fending. But basically this whole sordid affair has shown the tragic consequence
s of when vulnerability collides with power," said Commander Spindler.
A Metropolitan Police report giving the findings of Operation Yewtree, the inves
tigation into Savile s offending launched after an ITV documentary exposed his p
aedophilia last year, says that 450 people have now made complaints to the polic
e, and to date 214 offences have been identified across 28 police force areas. T
hey include 126 indecent acts and 34 rapes.

Savile was "hiding in plain sight" during his offending, which began in 1955, sa

Asian grooming gang convicted of appalling acts of depravity on children

Police and social services have apologised for the failings and missed opportuni
ties that allowed a gang of men to carry out appalling abuse on young girls in O
xford for six years.

When Thames Valley Police was first made aware of allegations of rape and sexual
assault against teenagers in August 2006 and on at least three further occasion
s it failed to pursue the investigations after the terrified victims withdrew th
eir complaints.
Seven men of Asian or North African origin were found guilty of grooming six vul
nerable white girls before putting them through a living hell during which they we
re forced to commit acts of extreme depravity.
In a case that bears harrowing similarities to the Rochdale grooming scandal, ca
refully chosen victims were showered with gifts and plied with alcohol and drugs
before being subjected to years of terrifying abuse.

999 call reporting Nanford guesthouse rape
14 May 2013
The gang recruited its victims from the Oxford area between May 2004 and January
last year, deliberately targeting vulnerable girls.
Some were spotted drinking or playing truant along the citys Cowley Road, while o
thers were chosen as they were living in care homes.
Once under their control the abusers forced the girls to have sex using threats
of extreme violence. Some were gang-raped, while others were prostituted to men
who would travel from all parts of the country to have sex with them.
If the girls did not comply, they were beaten and burned with cigarettes. One gi
rl was even branded with her abusers initials.
When another victim became pregnant aged 12, she was forced to undergo a dangero
us backstreet abortion. Another was abused with sex toys to prepare her for one of
the gang rapes.
Police were first alerted to the activities of the grooming ring in 2006 when a
14-year-old girl complained that she had been held against her will by two Asian
men and forced to take drugs.
Seven months later the same girl was found by officers in an Oxford park saying
that she had been forced to perform a sex act on one of the defendants, Akhtar D
ogar.
Dogar was interviewed by police but denied raping the girl and the case was drop
ped when the girl withdrew her complaint.
In the same year another 14-year-old girl told police she had been forced to hav
e sex with several men, but again the case was dropped when she became too scare
d to press charges.
Police were called again to a guest house after a man dialled 999 to report that
he feared a prostitute was being assaulted in an adjoining room.
When police arrived they found a 14-year-old girl cowering in the basement and c
omplaining that she had been raped and beaten. She too withdrew her complaint an
d the case was dropped.
Social workers claimed they alerted police to concerns about one of the victims
who regularly ran away from her care home and was often seen in the company of o
lder Asian men.
A serious case review has been announced while Thames Valley Police and Oxfordsh
ire county council apologised for their failure to spot the pattern of abuse ear
lier. Det Chief Sup Rob Mason said: Thames Valley Police and Oxfordshire county c
ouncil social services deeply regret that this activity wasnt identified sooner a
nd that we were too reliant on victims supporting criminal proceedings, and that
they suffered a terrible ordeal.
Joanna Simons, the chief executive of Oxfordshire county council, also apologise

d to the victims. She said: We are incredibly sorry we were not able to stop it a
ny sooner. We were up against a gang of devious criminals. The girls thought the
y were their friends.

Jon Brown of the NSPCC said the girls had been let down by those supposed to be
looking after them.
The barbaric treatment of the victims in this case was depraved, almost beyond im
agination and must never be allowed to happen again.
The girls were let down by those who were meant to care for them and obvious sign
s of abuse were missed.
The case is the latest high-profile trial involving Asian gangs convicted of tar
geting and abusing vulnerable white girls. Last May eight men of Pakistani origi
n and one Afghan were convicted of trafficking and raping girls in the Rochdale
area.
Last week a gang of Asian men who groomed vulnerable white girls in Shropshire b
etween 2006 and 2009 were jailed for more than 50 years.
Mohammed Shafiq, the chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, said: The majori
ty of Asians from all backgrounds abhor these crimes these criminals have brough
t shame on themselves and their families and the wider Asian communities.
We have to use our faith to actually tell how horrific these crimes are and how f
orbidden they are in our faith.
Two sets of brothers, Akhtar Dogar, 32, and Anjum Dogar, 31, and Mohammed Karrar
, 38, and Bassam Karrar, 33, were convicted with Kamar Jamil, 27, Assad Hussain,
32, and Zeeshan Ahmed, 27.
Fighting broke out in the dock at the Old Bailey after two other defendants Moha
mmed Hussain, 25, and a man who cannot be named for legal reasons were cleared.
