THE scale of the child sex abuse scandal engulfing the BBC expanded on Thursday, as authorities announced that 300 potential victims had come forward with accusations against Jimmy Savile, who was one of the broadcaster's most popular children's entertainers, and that others might have acted with him.
The TV and radio host, who died last year aged 84, is said to have used his fame to coerce teens into having sex with him in his car, camper van and dressing rooms on BBC premises.
Police Commander Peter Spindler, head of the Scotland Yard inquiry into the scandal, said that 300 potential victims had come forward so far, and that even more were expected to contact authorities.
