the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[laptop]

Report in the mirror said 25 well known celebs have been named by people to police, with some being named several times. However many people reporting them have declined to press charges leaving cops with few options outside questioning people.

From that story:

Another TV star — in his 80s — has also been questioned but cannot be named.

There's an injunction.

where? twitter?

Yes, but not sure how the source of the story knows so could be nonsense

Could be very expensive nonsense since it leads to a website which, though anonymously registered, is easily traceable to a host in San Francisco...

Some dirt being dished up now.

 

[MillwallShoes]

what's the twitter search words? tried bbc arrest and got nowt

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Can't see anything except the name

 

[elbows]

I expect thats supposed to be a dodgy clue.

 

[framed]

I heard a long time ago that **** ****** from someone who worked for the Daily Mirror. If that's who it is.

That's him! I'd recognise that starry named bastard anywhere!

Er, who is it?

 

[elbows]

The twitter rumour:fact ratio is increasingly absurd. If I were a famous person these days I'd be begging the press to swiftly name every arrested star to avoid having a bunch of false names speculated over for hours on end.

 

[Yetman]

There's elsewhere naming the dirty bastard now. Even if he's innocent of this he's still a dirty bastard - his reputation's already been dented

Don't think I'm allowed to tell you Spanks :/

Ah c'mon. Cryptic clues are already in breach of libel law - pointing out that it is a clue is definitely not on. If you want to face a libel case, go for it - just don't get urban involved on the way.

Indeed. If folks want to play 'accuse the celebrity of being a nonce based on something your read online' please do so on your own site/Twitter feed/Facebook account.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

fair enough sorry

Cyril Smith may have been a monster. But until we have reliable evidence we must not rush to judgment Can I ask you a question? How do you know, really know, that Jimmy Savile is guilty of child abuse? The truth, let’s face it, is that you don’t. You are like me. You’ve perhaps heard one or two TV interviews with victims. You’ve read the odd article including some fairly damning quotes. You’ve gathered that there is a police investigation and that, as a result, a number of famous people have been arrested, although oddly always in connection with allegations that have nothing to do with Savile.

Not giving Murdoch his £ so can't comment fully. There is definitly a case for that type of article since the McAlpine fuckuphas been followed by reporting arrests before charged which is a recipe for further disaster, and trial by twitter seems a 21century hell, but not sure I'd have written it quite like that.

He is right don't rely on the media, its down to the courts. But he's an associate Editor at the Times ffs rather than epistomological musings try calling for media responsibility

Does make one wonder why Danny Finkelstein, the piss-scented little Tory wanker, would take that tack. Couldn't be because he's worried about the whole issue of presumption of guilt, because Tories are so often guilty of something shitty, could it?

Glitter has been bailed again until February

Oh great now we've moved to a 'drop hints about people before they are questioned' phase. I havent checked other media to see if these details are repeated elsewhere.

A world-famous pop star is being investigated over alleged sex offences after his name was passed to police working on the Jimmy Savile case.
The platinum-selling artist, a household name, is one of 25 figures facing probes under Operation Yewtree, which began after the Savile scandal broke earlier this year.
Police are also expected to arrest a film director in the next few weeks.
The name of the pop star was first handed to police in 2008 when a convicted sex offender claimed he was part of a paedophile ring with Savile.
The paedo was in Whitemoor Prison, Cambs, at the time and passed a list of other child sex offenders to his probation officer. It is understood the list was handed to police but there was not enough evidence for them to act.
Now his name has come up again, he is being “actively investigated”, according to sources close to the inquiry.

@SkyNewsBreak
Met Police says a man in his 70s has been arrested on suspicion of sexual offences as part of inquiry into abuse by Jimmy Savile and others

 

[Ranbay]

In the early eighties Jimmy Savile and his Radio 1 show producer Ted Beston would regularly share a room.

If this is who I've just been told it is ("on the radio news", apparently) this is pretty big

Do you think its at all likely a name would be mentioned on the radio unless they had been nicked?

Well I thought it was odd, aye, and haven't been able to find anything online ( !!!), but "on the radio" is what they said, thought the station was Gold.
