In recent weeks, dozens of women have said they were abused by the entertainer, including some who said they were sexually abused on BBC property. Police say there may be more than 200 potential victims. Various inquiries are in progress, and attention has focused on the BBC’s decision not to air a segment about Savile’s abuse last December. AP
