Anyone and everyone who ever came within 20ft of jimmy saville will now be screaming abuse ,such is the power of our sensationalist media .

It'll be on the internet.
Fair point.
Yes, it's certainly a possibility that that might happen.

If he was, then it should come out.

Philip Schofield said that his first contact with Jimmy Saville was at the age of 17. He was working for The Daily Mirror and his boss had told him to ring him and ask him a question not connected to child sex abuse. His sister answered and went to fetch him. The first thing he said before Philip Schofield could say anything was "she said she was over 16"

Schofield also said that he was told about him when he started working at the BBC.
For balance, his PA of many years was on the 'phone. She said that she never saw evidence of any wrongdoing and that he did not have a computer.
