And the administration was always turning a blind eye.

He was raising millions in the 60s and 70s for these places.

Yeah, and because of that, his access was truly unlimited at Broadmoor.

Until the 1980s at this hospital, all female patients had to strip naked for their baths under staff supervision.

Savile was not only invited to attend bath time, but he often did so while making inappropriate remarks about the patient's bodies.

I guess he was allowed to be in there as long as he was in roast mode.

So do they bathe them clothed now?

No, they just don't make them undress in front of staff.

Yeah, they don't wash them like a bunch of barn animals in front of everybody.

Donate them to the local car wash.

Yeah, dude.

I hope they did.

But perhaps even worse than Jimmy's exploits at Broadmoor, which we'll explore further in the last episode, was what Jimmy Savile got up to at Broadmoor's sister facility, Rampton Psychiatric Hospital.

Patients at Rampton were all mentally disabled, or in Jimmy Savile's parlance, subnormal.

These patients were naturally drawn to Saville's clownish appearance and demeanor.

And while none of these patients reported abuse, I mean, most of them didn't even have the ability to express that they had suffered abuse, several of the staff at Rampton confirmed that Saville had unlimited, unsupervised access to Rampton patients for decades.

Now, as if preying on the mentally ill and the mentally disabled wasn't bad enough.

It's not.

The second.

I'm still on Jimmy's side.
