You'd be surprised, and according to some of their own testimonies, some of them returned several times for more "special treatment".

| Quote ="BillyRhino"However, the number of people now sticking their heads above the parapet would suggest that the various Police Forces now investigating Saville's activities will be able to reach a conclusion reasonably soon.
.'" And once the police have reached their conclusions will they concoct and fabricate statements as it's been alleged in two separate instances recently?
The police's conclusions are, frankly, irrelevant.

| I've been away for a couple of weeks.
What strikes me is that, in the time I've been away, there still seems to have been very little, if any, corroboration of evidence beyond "Yeah, me too", "I always thought he was a bit odd" and "We all knew but didn't like to say".
If these cases do indeed run into the hundreds, surely we'd have seen corroborative evidence in the news by now?

| Evidence would be nice but what sort of evidence could anybody provide for something that happened so long ago in a small locked room with nobody else present? Having said that, has anybody seen that video of him on TOTP where he is clearly groping the girl next to him and she's desperately trying to get away while he grins at the camera?
If this happened in these days of smartphones and social media there would be photos, video and recorded conversations popping up all over Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc but in the 70's even a tape recoreder was suitcase sized and not exactly common.
I was sceptical at first but the sheer volume of complaints and reports now convinces me that it must be true, even his family believe it. Also there's a lot of talk on here about people seeking to cash in but so far I've heard nothing from anybody seeking compensation and when the question's been asked by interviewers the answer has been that any money would go to charity

If you noticed, even at the outset most of the statements from friends and family of his were voicing their concerns about the impact on his charitable interests, not protesting his innocence.

| The freezing of assets by NatWest Bank today would indicate that some financial compensation is in the air, why else would solicitors get involved in such cases if there was no pot of gold to dip beaks into ?

If I had been a member of a certain Scottish popular beat music combo in the early 1970s, the ones who made a big thing of wearing trousers that were too short and lots of tartan, yes, those ones, the ones who had every schoolgirl in the country lusting for their very bones, then I would be rather nervous around now, jumping at every knock at the door, that sort of thing.
Especially as their manager didn't exactly set a good example to them...

| Quote ="Harry Pinner"Evidence would be nice '"
What a lovely sentiment. It would be nice to have some evidence before we completely shred a persons reputation. Not necessary, but nice. That's the beauty of waiting until he's death to come out of the woodwork, because you're not trying to convict him of a crime, merely ruin a reputation and who needs evidence to do that eh?
Evidence is the absolute cornerstone of what is needed to convict someone of the things Saville has been accused of and without such a conviction I refuse to join the masses who are happy to accept his guilt on the basis that
1. The Media says it's so.
2. The Police say it's so
3. People always thought, in retrospect, that he looked kinda funny

Krankies are already confirmed doggers, so the media might have done with them for now.
My money's on Leeds' own Dusty Bin.

| I may be on my own here, but it seems a shame to me that irrespective of the truth or nor of the allegations made against the late JS. The real losers in this sorry mess will be the good causes that he worked to help. I assume a great deal of his estate will now disappear into the bottomless pit of legal fees.
