I haven't taken much interest in it, I just can't figure out why it's really news now, I mean HE'S DEAD!
I don't get why this has all come out now and not 5-10-20 years ago.
Horrible, if it's true, obviously.

Really?
I would do anything for a set visit to Return of the Jedi.

I'm with Weasel - there seems to be a bit of a bang wagon and it is hard to make out how much of it is true. The guy is not here to defend himself and I don't understand why, if he did all that he is being said to have done,, nothing has come out before
That said, I always thought he was a bit weird !

This is a disgrace if it is as described, all that charity work was on the back of a massive guilt trip!
Saw this today, I wonder how long they will keep this on the wall for...
It has come out many a time before but due to his involvement in charities and friends in the press it has been hushed up. There have been investigations in the 70s' 80's 90's and the last being 2008.
The rumours and allegations have been associated with him since the mid 60s.
Below is a link to an excert from his biography....what a nice character

Yes, it all looks bad.
But he is innocent until proving guilty.
The 'newspapers' role is to make a profit. They make it by building up celebs, destroying them and rebuilding them. So I'd wait till this has gone through a judicial process before we light the wickerman.

Looks like his associates will have to hire Derek Acora to contact him.
They could do a video link in court and Jimmy could speak through the white noise.
he could sign his confession through a ouja board!!
Seriously though the guy aint hear to defend himself
When i was a Police Officer i heard all sorts of nasty stuff which turned out to be bollocks!!!
If true then hes a twat!!! If not then the people making the allegations are twats!!!

Agree with Iain and Weaz! Why has all come to the fore when he is dead :?
Well:
Coming forward to accuse people of rape would be terrifying.
You will have your face plastered all over the newspapers and have your private torn apart.
Quite possible they would be terrified of the accused when he was alive.
The case is coordinated with multiple accusations which means the case might have been processed for some time.
There are probably lots of other reasons.

It's that Esther Rantzen that needs her head testing! Champion of Childline and yet she heard about this in the 70's & 80's and she kept quiet!
Well done bitch!

Sadly this kind of thing went on much more often back in those days, it was almost socially acceptable. We often forget that we now live in a world where equality is pretty much in place, so we can't really judge people living 50 years ago because the world was a very different place back then. It would have been perfectly acceptable to not let black people get on buses and beat up gay people too, which we would find equally unacceptable now.
If its true its disgusting, but i dont understand why they all come out now when he cant be investigated.
its not as if these girls were 5 or 6, they were 15 so they could easily have defended themselves earlier than 40 years later!
Dont know what to believe but it doesnt look good.

I didn't realise they were that old, in that case it really is a storm in a teacup. Back in the 60s it was the norm to get married at 16, and an older guy being interested in a 15 year old would have raised no eyebrows. I used to have a Brazilian mate, and over there the age of consent is 13, he thought it was very weird that it was considered dirty to go out with younger girls. We really can't judge the guy on what he did 50 years ago with modern values.

"Storm in a teacup."???...? Its not judging the man with 'Modern Values' either as what he did would have classed abhorrent even then. He took advantage of underage kids who were in care and been through enough trauma already. Through his TV persona he was given a position of trust and abused that for his own sexual gratification, such abuse apparently continued until the early 80's. Senior Police officers have confirmed numerous reports made against him dating back to early 1970's but no further action had ever been taken.
There is an age of consent in this country for a reason and I'm bloody glad there is to stop predators & fiends preying on underage kids regardless of what is the norm in other countries.
All I'm saying is that times change. The age of consent in the UK was 13 until the early 1900s. I wasn't around in the 60s, but I'm fairly sure that the allegations being made now wouldn't have been considered front page news then. I don't agree with it either, I personally think it's weird for anybody to date somebody more than a couple of years younger than them, but I also think it's a bit unfair to brand somebody a pervert/paedophile for doing something that is perfectly normal in many countries, even throughout Europe (the age of consent in Iceland is 14.)
I'm afraid I'm often sceptical about these 'rape' claims, unless violence/physical force was used, it's usually the person's own stupid fault for going along with it. I bet the reality of most cases is somewhat different from the 'monster' image that is painted.

OK I'm sorry I bought this up now, just to lighten the mood.
Sky News just displayed images of the three women who claim that Savile interfered with .
They showed a current picture of each of the women and a picture taken of each of them from the 1970s.
The caption read: Now, then. Now, then. Now, then.
Here all week, try the fish, etc etc.
