Thread Name: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile of BBC [2011]
Subject: RE: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile UK
The actual legal niceties of rape are beside the point. Sir Jimmy Savile went out of his way to locate vulnerable girls and boys to sexually abuse, and he was assisted by other adults to do so. He was mostly careful to select children unlikely to talk, or who would not be listened to.
Consent is meaningless in the circumstances that he abused them.
