Dame Janet Smith’s report looking into Jimmy Savile’s sexual abuse at the BBC has been published today and identifies 72 victims, including eight who were raped. Ex broadcaster Stuart Hall is also mentioned in the report, which estimates Hall’s victims to be twenty one in number.
The BBC as a corporate body has been cleared of any wrongdoing, however the report goes on to detail some key findings:
- The victims of Savile in connection with his work at the BBC include eight people who were raped and one instance of an attempted rape. Others faced sexual assaults
- The majority of the cases took place in the 1970s
- The largest number of victims was in connection with Savile’s work on Top of the Pops
- The youngest victim of a sexual assault by Savile was eight years old
- Eight informal complaints were made
- Two senior managers are criticised for being “aware” or “probably aware” of Stuart Hall’s sexual assaults on BBC premises.
There is a dedicated website for the Dame Janet Smith Review, which offers links to the full report, Dame Janet’s opening statement and information on the Review, its terms of reference and witness information.

why must they all continue with these talks debating’s on Savile and nothing for the victims only more promises as in this link http://www.cps.gov.uk/victims_witnesses/child_sexual_abuse_review_panel/index.htm
more talks of child abuse by the CPS well many of us are aware they are also a law unto them selves so with the CPS Dame Janet Smith the Lords MPS Charities it goes on and on, well whilst all talks continue the paedophiles will be popping off some where and the poor abused victims will try to get a life and as they were in the care system many are living on the streets with no food and no money, so much for all the talks for the children screaming to be heard in this so called GREAT BRITIAN,

No one “works”in a vacuum, of course people knew! People keep quite for all sorts of reasons, most of which are self serving or self perserving. Our culture is such that’s it’s better to turn a blind eye than to speak out and put yourself and career at risk. It shouldn’t be like that but it is. It’s something that is relied upon by those who abuse others!
