Women who claim Savile abused them 'looking for money', says former headteacher

Women who claim they were abused by Jimmy Savile at a girls’ school were “delinquents” who were “looking for money” by making allegations against the late TV entertainer, their former headteacher has said.

However, Margaret Jones admitted she was “hoodwinked” by Savile, who she allowed to sleep overnight at Duncroft Approved School in the 1970s.
