He was not immaterial.
Not any direct allegations.
But more concretely, Savile allegedly raped a 10-year-old boy in 1963.
This boy had asked Jimmy for an autograph after recognizing him outside of a hotel.
Jimmy took the boy into the hotel and, quote, assaulted him by penetration.
But again, no action was taken.
It's a form of autograph.
No, no, that's staying in.
And people really like it.
They really do.
They really love you.
Well, Saville's crimes were not limited to children, teenagers, or even women.
That same year, a man went into a police station in Cheshire to report that he'd been raped, naming Jimmy Saville as the perpetrator.
The man was told to go home, forget about it, and move on.
And so the man did move on, best as he could, and all of the 1963 allegations were quietly filed away and hidden.
None of the reports were shared with Savile's home force, the West Yorkshire Police.
But it really wouldn't have mattered if they had been shared because Savile could already count on the cops in northern England to always take his side no matter what by this point in time.
By 1963, he already had it under control.
You're right.
And so there was nothing but constant rumor and accusation concerning what Jimmy Savile was getting up to both at the clubs and at the BBC.
