Savile may have abused 1,350 victims, ex-Met commander says
Former BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile
Former British TV host Jimmy Savile may have abused 1,350 victims, three times the number of victims who have come forward so far in a sex offence probe, a former Metropolitan police commander says.
Peter Spindler, who led Operation Yewtree investigation into sexual abuses by a number of celebrities until earlier this year, told child safety campaigners there were “probably treble that number who haven’t come forward”, The Sun reported on Friday.
Some 450 complaints have been recorded against the former BBC entertainer as part of the Operation Yewtree, which was set up after hundreds of allegations of abuse against Savile emerged following his death in 2011.
Speaking at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) conference on April 18, Spindler said Savile deceived some of the most important figures in public life.
