SEX On The Brain

 

Jimmy Savile (1926–2011)

Who was he? I was surprised to see his biography in some old notes, but then there have been - or are - so many rapists and serial killers out there that it's quite impossible to keep track of all of them and their many victims. Also, strangely enough, some of them, although being totally demonic weirdos, get forgotten by the public because they don't have the superficial charm and "aura" of e.g. a Ted Bundy. A fact that speaks volumes about us, the non-criminals, who are also a special kind of "consumer" of all the grizzlies of murder and all kinds of violence: A lot of people - me too when I'm out to seek information about the intricacies of society - buy books, magazines and watch documentaries about these criminals "for fun" and entertainment. 

As to the Englishman Jimmy Savile he is even more special than the American "charmer", Bundy, because he too had charisma, and although not as good-looking as him, he got a career out of it as a beloved media personality. What's more strange is that not only was he admired and sought out by powerful people like e.g. Margareth Thatcher, but he was also knighted. 

Famous, beloved, knighted and ALIVE without any threats of the conviction and execution Bundy had to endure: Savile was never caught although the numbers of his victims are estimated to be c. 450-589 - some say 1000! How was that possible? Well, he was a famous and beloved television personality and with that kind of "shield" he seems to have been protected against suspicions until a year after his death in 2011. At that time rumors about his many sexual transgressions were heard, and in October 2012 a formal inverstigation was started. One of the conclusions was that over 50 years Savile had assaulted victims aged between 5 and 75 in NHS hospitals, some were paralyzed, others were dead. The gender of his victims wasn't important to him, he didn't discriminate, but targeted males and females alike, as well as adults and children. His key to these victims was his job at BBC as well as his charitable work for The National Health Service.

For several years there had been rumors that the bachelor Savile was into "little girls". In an interview he said that he actually didn't like children, and that the girls gathering around him did so because he "knew the pop-stars they admired". However, the rumors persisted, and some even were broadcasted in newspaper articles in "The Sun". Still, he was never prosecuted. Many may have seen him as an innocent man being harrassed by some "bad people of the press".
 

However, after his death an ITV-documentary, "Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile", was made public. Thus it was made known that the rumors were true, and that the popular "cozy-uncle" in reality was a sexual predator of people of all ages, both sexes, dead or alive.

Jimmy Savile's ornate black granite headstone only stood for 19 days. Following awareness of his abusive past, it was removed, during the night of 9–10 October 2012, at his family's request "out of respect" to public opinion and others buried in and visiting the cemetery. A cafee which were named after him had its name changed, and The University of Bedfordshire stripped him of the honorary degree it had awarded him. Many others who had loved him enough to name something after him chose to have it renamed. What he had had of fame and renown before his death turned totally "sour" when he died.
