2-year-old among TV entertainer鈥檚 500 victims
Print Edition
AT least 500 children were abused by the late entertainer Jimmy Savile, with the youngest just 2 years old, a British children’s charity said yesterday.
Most of his victims were between the age of 13 and 15, according to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
Peter Watt, the charity’s director of child protection, said Savile was a “prolific sex offender” who lost no opportunity to identify vulnerable victims and abuse them.
The cigar-chomping, platinum-haired Savile was a British television fixture for several decades, but after his death in 2011 at the age of 84, witnesses and victims came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse.
A police investigation uncovered at least 214 offenses, most against victims under 18.
The NSPCC researched Savile’s crimes for a BBC documentary and found more alleged victims than previously thought at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.
Savile visited frequently as part of his charity work and had his own set of hospital keys.
