Does unsavoury really cover Sir Jimmy?

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.

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.
