"It is very easy to say someone did something when they are no longer alive to call you a liar."

It's actually very difficult for adults who were abused as children to ever come forward to tell the truth. Trauma does that to you. The death of an abuser often frees a victim emotionally from the remaining fear of the assailant.

In any event, evidently accusations against Saville were filmed by Newsnight from now middle-aged women who attended a school for vulnerable girls, all claiming to have been abused by Saville, both when he visited the school and when he took them to the BBC to 'reward' them. The BBC shelved the Newsnight programme and never passed on the materials to police. I'm happy to see these ugly revelations come to light. So many people in positions of power have felt themselves to be untouchable. Happily, that is increasingly less so.
