The victims' voices grew louder, and a police investigation called Operation U-Tree was finally launched by Scotland Yard, even though it took an entire year after Savile's death to finally get it going.
On the first day of investigation, 24 people reported crimes against Jimmy Savile.
And by the end of it, police had 600 lines of investigation open, with a final estimate of 589 reported assaults.
This, of course, is an incredibly low number, considering how Savile was active as an opportunistic predator for almost 60 years.
The real number is probably double, if not triple, what was reported to the Operation U-Tree officers.
Maybe even more than that.
Oh, yeah.
Before long, Jamie Savile's massive headstone, which had and his headstone was he had a last fuck you to everyone he ever hurt.
His headstone read, it was good while it lasted.
Yep, torn down in the middle of the night and fucking thrown in a landfill.

Great.
Nobody at the NHS went down for allowing Jimmy Savile to run rampant across their facilities.
