Late children's entertainer Jimmy Saville, host of a number of BBC Children's shows when I was young such as Jim'll Fix It died a few years ago. Within days of him doing so a number of reports started to surface that he abused young girls - these appeared to be nasty slander at first.
Now however more and more evidence seems to be coming out that not only were the allegations true, but that they were known about and covered up for years by people at the BBC. Some abuse allegedly happened on set at the Beeb.
There is no way Saville himself can be held to account anymore, except through reputation, but with the Beeb it seems to me to mirror in some ways the Catholic Church paedophile priest scandals, albeit only one individual.
If its proven that Saville did indeed abuse children on set at the Beeb and people who worked for the organisation covered it up then should the BBC be held liable/sued by his victims?
