Jimmy Saville is not a pedophile

Post Reply New Topic

I honestly don't believe it. They should of come foward when he was alive. Coming forward after he's dead is just cowardly.

I'll still watch old Top of the Pops episodes with full enjoyment, and will still enjoy the great film 'Pop Gear' from 1965 which he hosts throughout.

Apparently some girls did come forward but they were either ignored or it was hushed up.

Classic indicator of psychopathy.

A this point, he seems to have been an even worse predator that first suspected.
And it seems that numerous people knew of his crimes and enabled him to continue.

Personally I think he is guilty. Why would all those women, (and few men) come forward now? (Yes, some people say to claim and get money out of the publicity; I thought that myself at the begining of this news story). But their stories all sound very simular to each other, so therefore I think their is some truth in it. I don't like to judge people purely on appearance, but he was very dodgy looking. Also he was seen as a modern day saint due to the fact that he did all the chairty work, (which now in hindsight was a cover up).

Also... I find it discusting that BBC employees such as Janet Street-Porter and others knew, or in her case heard rumors about Saville's abuse. The BBC were definatly covering up for Jimmy Saville. I mean he was mates with Gary Glitter for god sake. People are coming forward now because they were afraid to, and they also thought that the British public wouldn't believe the allegations against him. But I think it should have come out when he was alive, it's basically too late now.

What I never understood was why a TV comedian would have ever been put in charge of a children's home or similar, why would anyone do that?

I think they have built up too much credible evidence for it to be false. Isnt there like 300 seperate allegations now?

I do think they are clutching at straws a bit with all the stuff about him and the yorkshire ripper though.

It is not unusual for people to donate large sums of money in exchange for the privilege of a "free run" of an institution.

I knew million-dollar donors back in Michigan who would walk into any university classroom at any time and participate as if they owned the place. Some would even wander the dorms ... by invitation only, of course ...

My mum said that he was a weirdo yrs ago..i guess she was right..shame they never got him when he was alive

Off-topic, a bit, but why are these celebrities so defensive/protective of Roman Polanski?
Everyone KNOWS what he did, and others have come forward with similar stories.
Yet, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger, many, many more, say. "But it was so long ago...."

He.
Raped.
A.
Child.

These people feel he deserves no punishment.

In his own words:

I don't know which is more shocking: the fact that he did those things and wrote about them casually in his book as though they were OK things to do, or the fact that the book was allowed to be published, people presumably read it, and nobody did anything about those disturbing statements in it.

Regarding the book, is it possible that people thought he was joking? Or that they were amusing fantasies?

When Roman Polanski had Nastassja Kinski for a 'companion', she was 15.
They were together after he came to America, and everyone was aware of it.
I suppose that that was just fine because her mother brought them together?

I've watched a couple of interviews with people who had worked with Jimmy Savile (not sure if you're talking about him here, or Roman Polanski). It seems that they did think it was his unusual sense of humour. They didn't realise he was actually being serious. He was hiding behind telling the awful truth. He was caught on camera a few times saying that he had just done this or that with a teenage girl and they did seem just like bad taste jokes.

I guess that what I am not very good at saying is that a pedophile (Polanski) is alive and well, has been legally taken into custody, unequivocally did what he was accused of, and yet is being defended, excused, and his crime(s) trivialized by many people.
Apparently because he is talented, famous, and rich.
Jimmy Saville's rapes and molestations were apparently known to some, but now that the truth is being exposed, no one is suggesting that we ignore it, it is in the past, yet he cannot be put on trial.
In either case,what is WRONG with people??

Dear Collectoritis,
Thank you for sharing this...
Ms. Lewis' accusations should be looked at seriously.
Woody Allen says Polanski"...did something wrong..."; drugging, raping, and sodomizing a girl who was also made to stay when she wanted to leave and asked to leave, is 'something wrong'?
Not recycling, driving alone in the Commuter Lane, lying about your weight on Facebook, THOSE are something(s?) wrong!
Not false imprisonment and sexual assault of a scared girl!

Just how does Mr. Allen feel that Poop-head, er, Polanski has paid?
He's been in Switzerland, not Attica!
Isn't Switzerland where the rich go to live and party tax-free?

In his next life may he come back as an eleven-year-old Thai girl enslaved in forced prostitution.

I mean it.

Sylkat.
