230: From Celebrity TV Host To Britain's Most Prolific Serial Predator... The Horrors of Jimmy Savile

Jimmy Savile's famous eccentricities, radiant television personality, and generous charitable work pulled the wool over Britain's eyes for decades. While he was beloved by millions, he was sexually abusing children by the hundreds— possibly thousands— from the 1950s until his death in 2011. And while he would die as a legend in the eyes of many, his legacy has since been rewritten. Now he's known as Britain's worst predatory sex offender in modern history. He exploited his celebrity status to abuse hundreds of adults and children across the country, assaulting or raping them in television dressing rooms, hospitals, schools, children's homes, and his notorious traveling caravan.
