Much like the judgement of a man who prorogued Parliament unlawfully - if BJ gets away with it because he was told by his Attorney General that doing it was legal, doesn't the same caveat apply to Keir Starmer (he would have gone on the advice of his legal team).
Most of the accusations about Saville came out after his death - here are the four that came out before his death.

A review of the CPS decisions and the police action concluded that a prosecution could have been possible in three out of the four cases. At the time the CPS lawyer concluded that because none of the victims wished to give evidence, no prosecutions could be brought.
However, the review of their actions by the DPP found police should have told victims they were not alone in making complaints, and that the CPS lawyer should have challenged police conclusions.
