Jimmy Savile: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

{{Quote|Savile was a callous, opportunistic, wicked predator who abused and raped individuals, many of them patients and young people, who expected and had a right to expect to be safe. His actions span five decades -- from the 1960s to 2010. ... As a nation at that time we held Savile in our affection as a somewhat eccentric national treasure with a strong commitment to charitable causes. Today's reports show that in reality he was a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes.|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Hunt Jeremy Hunt], Secretary of State for Health}}
