| − | '''Sir Jimmy Saville''' was D.J. turned celebrity who worked a lot with children. The subject of innuendo for decades before his death, he was only publicly out posthumously as an "extravagant sexual predator, using his access to hospitals as a volunteer porter and fundraiser to abuse victims aged from 5 to 75."<ref>http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/26/world/europe/uk-jimmy-savile-abuse-report/index.html</ref> He continued his predation on the vulnerable with the knowledge and support of senior UK [[establishment]] figures, raping and sexually abusing hundreds of children. Allegations against him went uninvestigated for decades, but coalesced quickly after his death, leading to hope that the [[VIPaedophile]] child abuse rings might be properly exposed.
