Fourth celebrity name in Jimmy Savile sex scandal
Another celebrity has been linked to the Jimmy Savile child sex abuse scandal. The unnamed media personality who is still alive, is the fourth person to be implicated in sex allegation claims surrounding the disgraced former presenter.
A woman said she was targeted by an as yet unnamed "media personality" when she was a young girl. She came forward after watching the ITV documentary which accused Savile of molesting girls at the height of his fame, reported the Evening Standard.
The latest allegations add to the burgeoning claims against Savile who is alleged to have molested girls at various hospitals, including one who had brain damage following an operation.
The Metropolitan Police have said they are following 120 lines of enquiry and have formally recorded eight allegations against Savile - two of rape and six of indecent assault - but believe there could be another 20-25 victims. A further two forces have referred a total of three new complaints to Scotland Yard, it has emerged. The case is continuing.
