DJ paedo Jimmy Savile terrorised youngster he abused on ward at Prestwich Hospital
He is one of the country's most reviled sex offenders, and he escaped justice. Jimmy Savile worked for the BBC as a DJ and presenter from 1964, and ruthlessly used his stardom to become possibly the most prolific paedophile in British history.
At the height of his fame in the 60s, with his platinum-dyed hair, and zany persona, he lived in a modest flat in Great Clowes Street, Higher Broughton, where he was often seen sitting outside on the steps chatting to passers-by. It stated that in the course of investigations already underway in 13 other NHS hospitals relating to Savile, the Metropolitan Police Service had disclosed further information relating to new hospitals. Specifically the MPS had passed information to the Department of Health that related to Savile and Prestwich Psychiatric Hospital.
The investigation by the Trust into the woman's claims concluded that the "alleged incidents are likely to have occurred." She had also alleged that she was abused by Savile while a patient at Booth Hall Children's Hospital in Blackley after routine surgery. She alleged that the trip to Prestwich was partly to intimidate her to remain silent about that abuse.
The report explained: “The absence of any perimeter security at the time would have meant that is was feasible for Savile to have brought her onto the hospital site without being stopped or challenged. To take her onto a ward he would have needed the assistance of a key holding member of staff. This could have been any one of the large number of staff who held the keys to the male wards.
It adds: “Thus her description of there being excrement everywhere and men, some of whom were naked, walking in it would be consistent with what could have been happening on one of the wards at a particular moment in time.”
