Yes, they came forward in
recent years. This too took decades before people started to realise what was going on. It's likely to be similar in Savile's case.

I don't remember who it was, but I saw some woman interviewed saying that within the Beeb, there were vile rumours about everyone who was someone. At first she paid attention, but when she became better known and became aware of unsubstantiated rumours about herself, she realised that that simply was the environment she was in, and stopped paying attention to the rumours about others.
