More Savile sex allegations likely, says Rantzen

Broadcaster Esther Rantzen has said she “would not be surprised” if more people come forward with sex allegations about former Top of the Pops presenter Jimmy Savile.

Ms Rantzen, who was in Dublin yesterday to address a positive aging event at Croke Park, was speaking in light of new claims from a number of people that they were sexually abused or raped by Savile, who died last year at the age of 84.

A television documentary entitled Exposure: The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile will air on ITV tomorrow night and contains several claims from different women that they were sexually abused in the 1970s.
