Savile sex scandal [VIDEO]. Jimmy Savile was one of Britain's biggest
stars -- and, allegedly, one of its worst sexual predators. Now the nation
is asking whether there was a link between one and the other.
The late British media personality Jimmy Savile spent nights with teenage
girls at a Leeds hospital while working as a volunteer, a hospital porter
said.
The porter told The Guardian Savile used staff bedrooms reserved for hospital
surgeons and nurses for his assignations.
Porter Terry Pratt said Savile would come in early in the morning about two
times a week with different pairs of girls, "one on each arm," in 1981 and
1982.
"They were definitely in their teens," Pratt said. "When they started talking
to you it was obvious they weren't streetwise, especially being out at that time
in the morning."
The name of a doctor accused of collaborating with Savile has been reported
to Scotland Yard, which is investigating Savile.
A former nurse at the hospital said earlier this month Savile had molested a
brain-damaged female patient.
Scotland Yard is said to be following 400 lines of inquiry into claims Savile
abused 300 children and young people in a period of six decades, The Daily
Telegraph reported.
Savile died last October at the age of 84.
