Yeah.

See, by the time Jimmy Savile started working in dance halls, he was already in his early 30s.
And even though the age of consent in the UK was 16, Savile always preferred them even younger.
A bouncer named Dennis Lemon said that Savile would make a point of talking to all the girls on the younger end, the ones who were 13, 14, 15.
Savile himself said in a 1978 collection of interviews, grossly collected as a book called God Will Fix It or God'll Fix It.
God'll Fix It.
He said that he was in a business, quote, fraught with temptations.
He said he was an abuser of things, bodies and people, but maintained that those days were behind him.
And this was actually one of Jimmy's greatest tricks.
He'd admit to something bad while showing contrition to deflect any questions people might have had about the full scope of his crimes.
Or maybe something that he did, I don't know, last week.
It's a horrible thing to say, yeah.
People love fucking redemption stories, too.
Yeah, they do.
And the thing was, people knew about Jimmy Savile, even back then.
One of the other bouncers remembered a day in the 1950s, mind you, when Jimmy showed up to the dance hall worried because he was due in court the next day for interfering with young girls.
This is a court.
It's not just rumors.
