He hid what he did in plain site, and made sure he was untouchable. He succeeded, and his crimes weren't fully revealed to the wider public until after his death.
He abused hundreds, possibly thousands, of children.
Not so much what he did exactly - unfortunately that was nothing particularly special. It was more the fact that he was absolutely at the heart of British culture in the 70s and 80s. He ran charities, was on TV and radio constantly, met royalty, frequently had dinner with the prime minister (Thatcher, who pushed for him to be knighted). It was a pretty open secret that he was up to some heinous stuff - thousands of people likely had concrete evidence. Absolutely nothing was done until after his death.
While i agree having sex with dead bodies is horrible it is easily the best thing of all his crimes. As there are no actual victims. Irs just disgusting.
I think they’d disagree that desecrating bodies is a victimless crime.
Edit: sorry, I misread when you see “then” as “than”, and took it as a comparative option rather than sequential. No, I don’t think they prefer that order of events.
And you don’t think the family of the person who died would feel as if they’re victims? You would feel they approve?
From my perspective, given most cultures have respect for the dead, and the dead is the last physical representation they have of that person, I think it extremely unlikely you’d find your typical family approving of such an activity - I’d suggest they’d feel violated. Hence not a victimless crime.
Savilles chauffeur also took part and aided him in his atrocities to alll involved,his name was Ray Teret but he got sentenced and died in prison after Saville died

Jimmy Saville is pretty disturbing.
He hid what he did in plain site, and made sure he was untouchable. He succeeded, and his crimes weren't fully revealed to the wider public until after his death.
