I have no difficulty in finding the allegations plausible... always thought he was a revolting old creep.
It's a shame the victims have only now found the courage to speak out, when it's too late, but given the attitudes of the time and the sheer force of the man's personality, it's understandable.
What puzzles me is that if the BBC was aware of allegations and rumours at the time, even if there was no substance to them, why didn't they protect St. Jimmy as well as these vulnerable kids by insisting on chaperones?
