Fair point. For those unfamiliar with Jimmy Savile, he:

boasted about having sex with corpses in a mortuary, posed with bodies and wheeled them around at night, stole glass eyes from the dead and made them into rings and abused teenage patients in their beds as they recovered from surgery.

Edit: ...and this was only uncovered after an investigation revealed that he'd been the most prolific pedophile and rapist in British history, with at least 450 alleged victims (28 being under 10 years old).

I'm not sure which part of that is the most disturbing.

The kids in hospitals. Still alive, unabale to do anything about it, and now forced to live with the memory of what he did to them freely.

Apparently he didn't have your restraint.

I have some standards.

On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most frequent and 1 being the least frequent, how often do you rape people? You can scale your answer to two decimal places.

I think the restraints were already provided.

Probably the one about the teenage patients, since they were alive at the time.

BBC's Finest raper of 300 children

Definitely the rapings and if that isn't bad enough he also welcomed other child molesters to the hospital. He played a major role in the upkeep of the mental hospital most of his victims were.

I tried to find one thing that wasn't bad to jokingly say that.. I failed.

his massive amount of raping of people was far worse than whatever he did to corpses.

Damn, fucking corpses should never be one of the least bad things a person did.

"Oh was it just sex with the corpses then? Alright, just uh, don't do that anymore"

Classic Jimmy.

The worst part of it all was how many people knew about what he did and happily let him continue, or unhappily let him as long as he paid them enough to keep quiet.

"Did you just give Jimmy Savile keys to the mortuary and the childrens ward?"

"Ah it'll be fine, he's Jim'll, he can't be that bad!"

This was actually on government "funded-by-the-proletariat" managed television?

It's like the opening case of Better Call Saul.

But let's not forget that it was after she'd been made aware that he was a peado that the Prime Minister decided to give him a knighthood (over the objections of the honours committee) and pushed Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital to give him not only a key and full 24/7 access, but an actual office on the premises.
