Regarding the women only speaking up now..
Put yourself in their shoes. Knight of the realm Sir James Saville, Legend of the entertainment world and raiser of millions of pounds for charity accused of having a quick fumble with a 15 year old girl in BBC dressing room.
After the incident. Girl and her mum go to Police...
Headlines in the press etc..
Oh they're after his money...Or.. he's misunderstood coz he's "eccentric" like.
How could it possibly be true?? He raises lots of money for charity and loves kids.. Just look at Jim'll Fix It. He's just like a funny Uncle...
So little girl and her mum up against the press, the court of public opinion, and no doubt the BBC, its lawyers, Jimmy's lawyers and some very savvy publicists.
No wonder they didn't / couldn't speak up.
Much as it pains me to agree with, he is an innocent man until proven guilty. However there's a lot of stuff coming out now.....and especially since the Newsnight expose was pulled by the BBC heirachy last year.
I'll wait and see before branding the guy a Paedo.
