I am not happy in any respect of the media drip feeding information to character assassinate, someone who cannot defend themselves, or be brought to book for the henious crime of child abuse.
So far we have the five accusations from girls who attended the same approved school, who made no allegations at the time. The suspicions of Esther Rantzen, a picture from Top of the Pops of Jimmy Saville with his arm around 14 year old Coleen Nolan, with the age emphasised. Tonight we had some bloke claiming that he saw Saville in a hotel room with a young girl who was 15, 14 , 12 or 10.
Saville was investigated twice for previous allegations, once under police caution but no evidence or insufficient evidence was found.
The documentary has yet to be broadcast, but so far all we have read are unsubstantiated allegations, rumour and the opinions of a few publicity seekers.
Let's face it Saville was an odd ball, even strange, his livestyle was different and for years the media have tried to ruin him. Unmarried, not homosexual, devoted to his mother, raised millions for charity SO something must not be right must it not.
I'm afraid that the only opinion I have must be the old adage of innocent until PROVEN guilty, perhaps we will never know for sure except the media circus have already sullied his reputation. On the other hand if he was a beast of a paedophile and proven to be so then he does not deserve any reputation, he should have his knighthood postumusely removed. It is then unfortunate that he cannot be taken to court and sentenced accordingly.
