I imagine it's because the press have generated the interest.

Pretty sure a fair few of them have been wanting to get it off their chests without fear of being slapped with a lawsuit, he was notorious for doing that.

This is certainly a factor - I'm no media insider but it was pretty common knowledge that once he died all sorts of stories would come out. Also, if you were a victim of his back in the 70s there would have been the strong feeling that no one would believe you and it would be something that you'd want to put behind you and try and forget about. Once a couple of people come forward, then the victims don't feel alone any more and that gives more of them the strength to come forward. I imagine it's because the press have generated the interest.
There's also a very pernicious angle to this from the press as well. The Leveson inquiry has severely clipped their wings as to how far they can chase stories on celebrities. The subtext to this Savile stuff is 'we might out the next Savile/Glitter sooner if we're allowed more freedom in running stories investigating celebrities'. |

$$$$$$$ I think you're wrong on this one Pleno. More $$$$$$$ would have been gained while he were alive. There may be some women out there who are after money, but I bet these aren't the genuine cases. |

I don't understand why past victims are going to the press though first instead of the police? why do we have to know about every little step of the investigation. Its sickening and vile.
In a ridiculous sort of way they dont trust the police??? I was talking to my wife (she's got a psychology degree and counsells children of all ages) about this and without going into too much detail she told me of a client of hers who was seriously abused in the late 70's by a family member. She went to the police and was sent back home and told to stop making stories up. This client's family were even against saying things like 'why do you want to cause trouble for the family'. Back in the day these crimes happened as regularly as they do now but people didn't really take it seriously.This is so very true. |

100% correct and something I've been guilty of since the stories started coming out. Trigg wins. |

When you play live poker do you never go with your gut feeling when deciding what to do? |

When you play live poker do you never go with your gut feeling when deciding what to do? The most annoying poker players are the ones who say "I knew you had that", but played the hand totally opposite to the way they would have played it if they really did know. After timers. |
