SEXUAL ASSAULTS BY JIMMY SAVILE

I n f o r m a t i o n

»In late 2012, it emerged that Jimmy Savile, a British media personality who had died the previous year, had sexually abused hundreds of people throughout his life, mostly children but some as old as 75, and mostly female. He had been well known in the United Kingdom for his eccentric image and was generally respected for his charitable work, which associated him with the British monarchy and other individuals of personal power.« (Extract from: Wikipedia)
