But Savile refused to come in.
He said that he had a West Yorkshire police inspector who, quote, usually deals with this sort of thing.
And if the cops wanted answers, they should call that police inspector.
Now, incredibly, this inspector fully admitted that Jimmy Savile was a close personal friend, said, oh, yeah, Jimmy gets complaints like this all the time, has for years, wouldn't worry about it.
Yeah.
And so a report was made and buried, marked confidential.
So no other department in the UK was made aware of what had transpired with Operation Ornament.
Now, the only time that Jimmy was ever put in the box, so to speak, was when police interviewed him in October of 2009 in the friendliest yet creepiest possible location.
To ask him about his alleged sexual assaults, they met at Jimmy's private office at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where Jimmy committed a large portion of his crimes.
So they were like sitting on his jizz asking him if he fucking jizzed there.
Yeah.
In an interview that lasted just a hair under an hour, Saville led the questions and barked denials any time he was asked something directly.
I mean, the audio from this is chilling because they ask him a question and you just go, out of the way!
And he would just yell over and over again.
He's like, no, not never, not at all, never did that.
And he would get mad at them.
And you can see the cops get cowed.
They do.
And again, this was good enough for the investigators who closed the investigation after the interview.
As author Dan Davies recognized, this was a pattern that went all the way back to the 1950s.
