who used his celebrity status and charity fundraising efforts to ‘exploit and abuse’ patients and staff. Many health officials were aware of concerns about his behaviour but turned a blind eye for decades, the official UK National Health Service investigation found.
The report covers 28 hospitals, in cluding Leeds General Infirmary, where he volunteered as a porter from 1962. Sixty people say he abused them at that hospital. His victims there were aged from five to 75 and offences ranged from lewd remarks to sexual assault to three allegations of rape.
Some of his victims were starstruck, while others feared they would lose their jobs or Savile would be protected by powerful friends, the report said. Dr Sue Proctor, who led the LGI investigation, said: ‘The allegations about his behaviour in the mortuary are incredibly harrowing and disturbing.’ Savile was also involved in fundrais ing for the Central Remedial Clinic in Dublin. Yesterday it issued a state ment saying it was never aware of any allegations concerning Savile but urged anyone with any such informa tion to come forward.
