How would you know that the records of the Duncroft School would prove the allegations false if they haven't been read? What's more the article you have posted refers merely to a handful of people out of over 300 who have claimed that Savile molested them. What's more you seem perfectly happy to believe the ramblings of one woman as opposed to the 300 alleged victims, police and witnesses. Nobody seems to understand that the witnesses who have come forward have nothing to gain from this saga - for example, the elderly lady on the news a week or so ago who had seen him fondling a mentally patient. Are we assuming she was just making this up? She certainly didn't strike me as someone who was fame-hungry.

The fact is that someone told something and nobody bothered to check if what she said was right but accepted what this person said as the truth. Yet some research showed the facts can not be right.
(I have no idea if Jimmy Saville is guilty or not and it is not up to me to make that decision either. He should have been in court if he did what people say he did, but when he could be taken to court, they kept quiet for whatever reason. As for that clip of film "proving" Jimmy groped a girl live on TV I wonder why the girl was laughing instead of looking disgusted!?))

You misunderstand. Of course I followed the link. However it was impossible to be shocked by the video clip as it was quite obviously good humoured larking about. (the clue being that otherwise it would hardly have been performed in front of a television audience).
No the shocking bit was in the text which followed, where she tried to pass off the 'mental scars' from this incident as the event that had ruined her life and was partly responsible for the break up of her marriage 27 years later!

I think the teenager's reaction was more out of shock than anything and far from just good humoured larking about, although Savile would have looked at it as that.

I WASN'T GROPED AT BBC SAYS WOMAN
In a shock confession last night, a female broadcaster admitted that she had never been assaulted by a male colleague during her time at the BBC.
She said, "It has taken me a long time to come forward because I feared for my career if everyone knew that nothing untoward had happened. "But," she continued, "now that everyone else is getting their name in the paper I feel I must set the record straight. The truth is in my case there was no groping, fondling or lewd suggestions whatsoever."
The BBC has launched an immediate enquiry and a spokesman for the Corporation announced, "This is well below the standard of behaviour we expect at the BBC and we must act at once to protect our hard-earned reputation for indecency.

So did the producer and it was broadcast accordingly.

You might want to add, for the sake of accuracy and for those from other countries who don't know already, that Private Eye is not a newspaper, it is in part a satirical magazine.

So it's ok to shove your hands up the skirt of a woman providing she's not under 16?

It makes one wonder why a 19-year old doesn't raise hell if something like this happens.
So far it has been said these girls were very young and did not dare to talk about it.
There is a lot of lack of investigation about accusations and "proof" like this clip from "Top of the pops".

One word.....allegedly.
How many times must I tell you, it is most unwise to believe everything you read in the papers.
