could be such a brazen monster.
Now, reporters and cops weren't Saville's only enablers in his crimes.
Saville would actually employ people to assist him in his sexual misdeeds.
Men like Dave Eager.
Dave Eager was groomed as a DJ and an assistant to Jimmy Savile in the mid-1960s.
Eager was paid 10 pounds a week to go through Jimmy's fan mail to find teenage girls for Jimmy to contact and rape.
Additionally, Eager would make sure that the newspapers knew that all of the girls that Jimmy was having sex with were of legal age.
That was part of his job.
And that's, of course, when many of these girls were not of legal age.
With men like Dave Eager on his side, men who still insisted after Savile's death that they knew nothing, even though they themselves were procuring victims, Savile entered the peak of his crimes in 1966, and he destroyed lives across Britain at an unimaginable rate for the next 10 years.
Now, by the mid-1960s, Savile was incredibly wealthy from all the various gigs in which he was becoming one of the most famous men in Britain.
Radio Luxembourg was still going strong, Top of the Pops was a massive hit, and he was still DJing at dance halls across England.
And with these huge paychecks, Jimmy Savile bought a Rolls Royce, something that he'd dreamed of since his days as a Bevan boy.
And that Rolls Royce would become one of his trademark accessories, along with his cigar.
Because remember, he had a fake Rolls Royce.
Yeah, he had actually turned a junker into a sort of like Frankenstein Rolls Royce.
Yes.
And he also talked in that interview about how he would always constantly buy a new one because he said, if something came out about me tomorrow, if it was all over tomorrow, I'd rather have that new Rolls Royce than an old one.
Yeah, but remember, it's going to be eventually the third act of Boogie Nights where you're in that really nice car, that Corvette, but it's broken down now.
Eventually, that's going to be your life.
