There is a term in the English language about what '
crawls out from under a rock' when you turn it over.
The police investigation into the sex crimes alleged to have been committed by the late, and not so great
Sir James Saville OBE,
KCSG, was the turning over of a very large rock, and some very big insects have been crawling from under it .....
The Police operation has three strands.
- One is looking specifically at the actions of Jimmy Savile, and
- The second
strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others".
- The separate third
strand relates to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the
Jimmy Savile investigations.
So far, as a direct result of the investigation, and its related enquiries, five people have been arrested:
Max Clifford (
publicist),
Freddie Starr (
comedian),
Gary Glitter (
ex pop star and convicted child sex offender),
Wilfred De'Ath (
a
retired BBC producer), and
Dave Lee Travis (ex DJ and radio broadcaster). Police have also questioned under caution a man in his 80's (
who we can't name, but whom its speculated is a very well known TV presenter).

| Arrested or 'Interviewed under caution' - More expected. |
The publicity has also rattled old skeletons up and down the country ..... with the well known TV presenter
Stuart Hall OBE arrested for unrelated sexual allegations ..... it should
be pointed out that not all of the arrests (
details on their web links), relate to the sexual abuse of children, some of those arrested have been charged with sexual offences related to adults. Not that this excuses them of any crime, if they are firstly ever brought to trials, and then secondly found guilty of the crimes which they are accused of.
What we can comment on is the general age of those so far arrested or interviewed under caution .... all of them are well over fifty years of age, with the youngest being the 59 year old Clifford. This suggests a 'culture' of some kind existed in the 'celebrity circuit' of a generation or so ago .... its very strange.

| Justice Is Blind - For Rich and Poor |
However they have not been found guilty of anything to-date and therefore are all
presumed innocent until proven guilty,
despite all the speculation on some sites. Its possible that the claims
are entirely fictitious in some cases - sadly we live in a society
where some people would try to make money out of falsely accusing an
individual of the most hideous of crimes. Justice in these high profile cases must not only be
carried out blindly, but it
Must Be Seen to Be Done, or it isn't justice.
NB: Please don't speculate about identities of people not named by the police .... its illegal, often wrong, and brings down the wrath of lawyers ..... and I will delete the comments.
