Yeah, man.
Now, things were obviously getting, let's say, out of hand at the BBC.
And while investigators got close to Jimmy Savile, they still missed the mark time after time.
And that was often because the BBC would not let investigators get close to Jimmy Savile.
When a 15-year-old dancer on top of the Pops died by suicide, for example, her diary revealed that she had not only been groomed by multiple BBC employees, but had also been plied with drugs before having horrific sexual encounters with a certain BBC Radio 1 DJ.
What she wrote was so bad that people refused to print it.
The suicide in the diary led to an investigation, but even though Jimmy Savile was not named as the DJ in the diary, the victim's half-brother indeed confirmed that Savile was their man.
Savile, of course, refused to cooperate in the investigation in any way whatsoever, because Jimmy Savile was also learning that when shit got serious, stonewalling was an extremely effective last line of defense.
If you listen to any of the cops did eventually at one time talk to him.
They just say, no, absolutely not.
Never happened.
Never happened.
That was always in getting mad about it.
Never back down.
Once.
It's over.
Yeah.
But while the investigation did reveal that exploitation of underage girls was happening at the BBC, no one was arrested and no changes were made to policy.
In fact, the BBC invented stories to discredit the victim instead, making her seem unstable and willing to do anything to be famous.
And that was also a part of his game.
