There can be no comparison whatever to what appears to have happened here and the Yorkshire underage sex affair.
Descriptions of bored policemen taking statements from underage sex victims and asking them "if you objected to what happened to you, why did you go back for more?" indicate a total indifference to what happened in Yourkshire and a malicious dereliction of duty rather than who the victims or perpetrators were.
Rather, if the BBC knew about Saville's alleged abuse and covered it up, this can be compared to the ongoing disclosures within the Catholic church, were the heirarchy allowed abuse to to remain undiscovered and even to continue by not disclosing it - for the good of the church.
I wonder if the mis-spelling of the title of this thread was deliberate or a Freudian slip - Sa-vile
