Nah....
They're only targeting the dead celebrities. Easier to convict them without a personal defense.

Errr, the quote said "they are only targeting dead celebrities". So far, two people have been brought in for questioning who are very much alive, which pretty much throws the comment about only dead celebrities out of the water. To my knowledge, Savile is the only dead celebrity to have been mentioned.

Leonard Rossiter is also dead.

The story was broken by The Sun on their front page and then picked up by others.
I'm a bit dubious when people choose to report their stories to tabloid newspapers instead of the authorities though.

I always thought he was creepy. When I heard about his exploits years ago, I wasn't surprised. I watched the Louis Theroux documentary, and it was obvious he was a sinister man. A self-centered, very weird, (and not good weird), man. Did you see it?
When he died, I wondered how long it would take for the sh*t to hit the fan.
Many many people actually liked the man, and grew up thinking him a nice charitable person. And that's a damn shame, because it's never nice finding your heros are dirtbags. I think we see some of his 'supporters' on this thread, going with the "it's all gossip" line. Well, if they want to cling to the idea that he was 'fab guy' that's up to them. But to dismiss every witness as attention-seeking is quite insulting to those people. It's also naive to dismiss them in that way. ("No solid proof?" good grief, how much do you need? Talk about sticking your fingers in your ears and going "NANANANANA").
I work in schools, and have been CRB checked several times. All these measures are put in place to protect the vulnerable. The CRB checks came about in recent years because of 'incidents'. And they're good things to have in place. Recently, visiting speakers,authors etc.. moaned at having to be CRB checked to walk through the school door. There were cries of "too much security". I'm of the opinion it's a good thing. If the Savile story had have played out differently, he wouldn't have got in those places.
Savile, by posing as a charity worker, weedled his way into these places to prey on the vulnerable. He wasn't a man that, when he wanted his sexual urge to be quenched, looked for a woman, be it a wife, a lover or a date. He instead preyed on young people, using his fame and position to get him his kicks. He was a bully, and a sick f*ck. So let's applaud the enquiry, and hope measures will be put into place to protect people in hospitals and institutions in the future. If it means mourning the loss of a childhood hero, big deal. It's much more important we make sure it never happens again.
