Report: Savile’s youngest victim was aged 2

At least 500 victims, one of whom was just two years of age, were abused by the TV presenter Jimmy Savile during his reign as one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders, research shows.

A study by the NSPCC, commissioned for BBC’s Panorama, reveals confidential documents examining the extent of Savile’s offending and his unprecedented access to Broadmoor hospital, where some of the abuse took place.

The report said the scale of Savile’s offending inside Broadmoor is higher than previously thought, with Thames Valley Police having received 16 reports of abuse by him inside the special hospital.
