Yes, historic abuse that got dealt with in a systematic forensic manner. It was great to see how the evidence mounted up against RT and was corroborated by other witnesses who weren't aware that the same details had already been given. I hope it gave some confidence to people who had suffered such abuse to be able to come forward and expect their complaints to be addressed with professional thoroughness.

Yesterday I watched a fascinating documentary called The Detectives about Greater Manchester Serious Sexual Offences Unit meticulously investigating a rape and also (separate case) historic child abuse by the DJ Ray Teret, a mate of Savile and found it riveting. When they found the graffiti evidence they were expecting under a layer of wallpaper in his former flat the feeling of revulsion I felt and the sense of evil perpetrated made me more sure than ever that nobody should ever joke about those men.
