Jimmy Saville is still alive...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20061001

Fleet Street routinely nurtures a crop of untold stories about powerful abusers who have evaded justice. One such is Peter Morrison, formerly the MP for Chester and the deputy chairman of the Conservative Party. Ten years ago, Chris House, the veteran crime reporter for the Sunday Mirror, twice received tip-offs from police officers who said that Morrison had been caught cottaging in public toilets with underaged boys and had been released with a caution. A less powerful man, the officers complained, would have been charged with gross indecency or an offence against children.

At the time, Chris House confronted Morrison, who used libel laws to block publication of the story. Now, Morrison is dead and cannot sue. Police last week confirmed that he had been picked up twice and never brought to trial. They added that there appeared to be no trace of either incident in any of the official records.

Accused is also a teenager, I think. One of the reasons they are not being named.xp

I know it's 15 years old but my God that Nick Davies piece is relentless.

From the Savile nephew piece:

"I just think it's very, very sad you can say these things after someone's died and the law says you can't defend yourself when you're dead."

Damn the law for forcing this silence on otherwise chatty corpses.

Accused is also a teenager, I think. One of the reasons they are not being named.xp

Name being bandied about on twitter last night, not repeating here because I'm not keen on finding out the intricacies of libel law the hard way.

He was named at the time of the original arrest in May (which is why people know the name to spread around, and why I know who it is) but most references to this have been redacted and is now deliberately NOT being named. He's 17 now, I think was 16 at the time of the alleged offences.

also it's a completely separate and unrelated case

Agreed. It wasn't me that brought it in, but I can see how with no other details someone could make a connection to 'BBC actor in sexual assault'. The politician referred to by Tom Watson (if I'm making the right connection) is also a completely separate and unrelated case.

Or rather, there has been an unrelated accusation against a senior Tory politician. Tom Watson obviously is a fan of David Icke, as he has long held this chap was at the heart of a secret Tory paedo cabal, but I'm unaware of any other rumours or suspicions.

Watson's contribution was really unhelpful. The accusations against Morrison appear to be unrelated, possibly not even criminal now, and clarifying it was someone else he was talking about just gives license for speculation. The names being linked have either been the target of completely outlandish conspiracy theories or simple homophobia for years .

Yeah, that BBC article doesn't actually mention that it's a BBC actor, so not sure why it was brought in here, but since AG seems keen on identifying people I thought I'd give him a hint. Now you mention it, I think I remember the actor in question being named about something earlier in the year.

ShariVari otm - the Morrison thing seems to be stuff that wouldn't be criminal now; alternatives offer free rein for homophobes/conspiracists to make suggestions about any ranking Tory they've thought might be gay.

Why is it that other sectional groups are always communities, but paedophiles are always "rings"? They need better PRs.

Still a page on Daily Mail website with news story about teen actor's arrest back in May.

is it the chubby one from harry potter? he always seems to be getting in trouble with you lot.

did a daily mail search re: sick's post...if it's that guy then jheeeeeze

Communities have 'leaders' and PR spokespeople.

"Rings" have no one person having a greater 'status' than any other member.

rings have leaders. ringleaders, you could call 'em

stet: worryingly au fait with paedoring hierarchies imo

does anyone ever use "ring" for anything except paedophiles?

it's like a murder of crows.

might place an ad somewhere suggesting starting a "book-reading ring"

jazzercise ring

Satanists maybe?

art thieves also prone to meeting in circles iirc

liberals

Organised crime ring, anyone?

spy ring

Yeah, was gonna say "Webrings" back in the day...

ppl called 'rosie'

Organised crime ring, anyone?

nope, never heard this used. carry on, everyone.

Corpse-bothering philanthropist and Radio 1 coffin-jockey Jimmy Savile was well-known for his rings iirc

terror, car-theft, heroin, heterocyclic.

heterocyclic.

can't believe lance armstrong was a paedo.

and he murdered crows

disgusting

Lord of the Rings: the Savile Story

ghost rider

Some people are talking about his necrophilia as being like a last nail in the coffin, and to be fair, he apparently had a few of those before he died.

xp Except that Ghost Rider doesn't hurt the innocent.

When the headstone and flowers were removed from his grave, all that was left was a hole and no bush. It's what he would have wanted.

thread delivers

littlejohn... otm? shudder.

enjoyed this too:

The most chilling photo produced so far was Savile posing for pictures inside Broadmoor with the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.
Say cheese, Jim. Big grin, Pete. Thumbs up, three sombreros.

thumbs up, three sombreros?

Of course the other guy in that famous picture is big Frank. Wonder what he makes of it all?

Not trying to suggest that he was some sort of hearse-chasing carcass-fondler btw.

L-R: Bruno, Sutcliffe, Savile:
