Thread Name: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile of BBC [2011]
Subject: RE: 2011 Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile UK disc jockey
Footage has emerged which proves that Starr's claim to have never been at the BBC and to have never met Karin Ward - who accused him of groping and humiliating her for her "lack of breasts" in Savile's BBC dressing room, when she was 14 - is untrue. She is seen beside him in 1974 on filmed footage of BBC's Clunk Click, which Savile hosted.
Some have suggested there may have been a ring of abusers preying on young girls at the BBC, including Savile, 'procurers' and other celebrities of the time. I think, considering both the way that abusers like to work and the ease of celebrity access to young girls, that this is entirely plausible. So far as we know however, this is the only allegation against Starr to have come to light thus far.
