Trial by Posthumous Innuendo
"Following last night’s episode of ‘Exposure’, the prosecution’s case for the demonisation of Jimmy Savile was completed in the sense that the audience have been invited to give their verdict. No doubt if we fail to give the required verdict, the ‘Ireland v EU’ solution will be applied and we will be given a further installment to wet our appetite for the correct answer. There has been no case for the defence, so all we can do is look at the evidence laid out for us by the televisual prosecutors and see what it amounts to.
The programme opened with the powerful statement ‘We now know that Jimmy Savile was a predatory paedophile [sic] for more than 40 years’.
Not so fast Mr Williams-Thomas! We know that there have been possibly hundreds of allegations that he was – but for those of us looking for facts as opposed to innuendo, we are sitting down waiting for you to make the case to us that he was…"
"I watched last night with an open mind, quite prepared to believe that Savile was a dangerous paedophile that various authorities should have suspected and thus protected children against. Williams-Thomas has had publicity that others could only dream of, ‘hundreds’ of victims coming forward in the wake of his previous programme, hours of television time to develops his theory, and last night was the final result. Along with the rest of the general public, I am invited to draw my own conclusions. The case for the prosecution rests."

Welwyn Hatfield Council’s deputy leader blasted [sic] over his ‘staggering’ handling of Jimmy Savile at Broadmoor
"Cllr Franey, who was chief executive and general manager at the hospital, responded: ““He had had that access for some time. I didn’t see any reason to challenge what he was doing, no reason at all. Quite frankly he had been part of the organisation for many many years long before I was there.”
He also said: “I had no complaints about Savile during my whole time at the hospital from staff or patients about any inappropriate behaviour.
“He could not go anywhere he wanted, he couldn’t go into patients bedrooms.”"

The Jimmy Savile Investigation: Exposure Update, ITV1, review
"Unlike that first Exposure – which was a tour de force [until the facts were revealed], full of new and shocking and direct and cogent allegations of criminal behaviour – this second one really had nothing new to expose at all. It was a narrative of the case against Savile, rather than being evidence of it. That journalistic thinness was a disappointment – but did serve to show what a brilliant job Williams-Thomas and his team had done the first time around. [until the facts were revealed]"

Savile Unravels: Seeing Right Through the Anti-Savile Hysteria
"There is still no compelling evidence – that is, evidence that amounts to proof beyond reasonable doubt (or anything near it) – that Savile was the serious sex abuser as he is portrayed. And we know from similar hysterias in the recent past – notably over what turned out to be the entirely groundless 'satanic sex abuse' supposed paedophile rings with countless 'victims' – that you can get a great multiplying of allegations even in the absence of any truthful basis. What is more, the spurious 'satanic sex abuse' scandals were in respect of alleged events that were current or in the recent past, whereas the events re Savile are decades in the past and therefore very likely to be the result of 'false memories'. The psychology of constructing fabrications of past events is a human universal, and is rife whenever there is a highly salient seed upon which a construction can be made. A famous and larger-than-life individual who had myriad inconsequential encounters with others is almost bound to be the subject of a plethora of 'false memory'-based supposed incidents."
