[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 434836, member: 8"] Aaand Part II Just as it happened because of MeToo, they got the ball rolling because of people connecting on the internet. It would take another (or several) re-investigation(s) and more witnesses to be taken seriously, but at that time Jimmy Savile had already died. I wonder, would it have mattered if they had arrested him a few years before he died? Would it really take away everything he's already had, and all the sins he had enjoyed? Would it have been satisfying to humiliate a person who's nearing the end of his ride, a person who's never had a guilty conscience to begin with? Of course there's the other side of the story and we can only hope that it's brought some peace and closure to the victims who have carried those awful memories for such a long time. The netflix documentary is different from the one I've watched on youtube. The youtube version was far more horrific as it implied that other adults were involved at the time of the sexual crimes. I recall a man telling his story of abuse that includes his own family, they would frequently deliver him to Savile and his gang, and he also mentions what and how it happened. Really dark, sick stuff. The last act of the documentary looks very rushed. We get precisely two public reactions by people on the street - and [I]nothing [/I] from other celebrities. I also think that, had JS been arrested in the 1980s, it would have rubbed off very very badly on some important people who deserved the humiliation. It's possible that some of them knew but probably not from the very beginning. It's a tricky situation if you want to maintain the status quo. On the other hand, if Savile had become a serious liability they probably would have killed him in a tragic accident, and they wouldn't even have to feel bad about it. [/QUOTE]
