I would like to mention a lesser commented on phenomenon that really happened post-Savile. Obviously the vast majority of the focus in that time was on 'celebrity offenders', including a search for large political scalps. But actually this stuff almost instantly cascaded down to levels that are not often of interest to the national press, and sometimes not even of interest to the local press. Victims of historical abuse all across the land spoke to people the know/family about what happened to them, and/or went to the police. All the stories of police etc services continuing to be overwhelmed by this stuff did not come, in most cases, from the famous, but from people at more local and personal levels of power who abused that power, and fresh hope that justice may be found. I know of at least one who spoke of this on these forums, and at least one in my real life as well.
