My Grannie (before he was convicted a paedophile) always used to tell us proudly that she sat on his knee when she was younger. She obviously hasn’t mentioned it since but I just used to feel so sorry for her because she always seemed so proud about it.

That is true. There is an interview on YT with someone that worked at Broadmoor confirming it.

My partner is from Italy so never knew of him. When it all came out he was shocked that none of us brits knew. He said it was glaringly obvious to anyone looking from the outside in and that we were all groomed.

Having a few mates from Leeds that I went to uni with in the mid 90s, his doings were certainly an open secret in Leeds even at that point in time.

Here is an interesting Reddit thread from just after Jimmy died.


Look at the comments, don’t tell me it wasn’t common knowledge what he was.

My friend lived in Scarborough as a child and was always told to keep out of JS way if she saw him. That was the 70’s it was public knowledge then that he was weird.

My Canadian husband says the same thing.

There is an interview on YouTube about a man speaking about as a young boy he was sent to a boys home and the men in charge were sexually abusing the boys almost torturing them. He said groups of men would come into the homes to rape and torture them and they’d be driven to a woods told to run and then the men would hunt them down and rape them for sport. He said a boy died from shock and the other boys were made to bury him. He said one of the men he recognised as Jimmy Saville.

I can’t remember where I watched his interview because I think he’s done a few but type in Shaun Atwood - Darren Jeffrey that’s him talking there

We’re watching Prime Suspect and the series we’ve just finished was about a paedophile ring that included top-ranking Police Officers. A young Jonny Lee Miller played a character who had lived in a children’s home and was abused there daily and when he reported it to the Police, he was raped by a Policeman at the station.

Maybe not so much now but in the early 90s where there appeared to be more naivety about things like this going on, you can imagine people tuning in and thinking this was all just Lynda la Plante’s fiction. The horrific truth is it goes on a lot (abuse in general, not just in homes) and it goes unreported and I can understand why. In Plain Sight blew my mind, how much Saville was allowed to get away with was truly horrific and I’m not convinced we’ll ever know the full extent.
