Jim'll fiddle it

[VNA]

You should have watched the whole programme.

It was quite compelling. 

Sadly there is no doubt that JS was a peadophile.

Numerous people reported him over the years.  No action was ever taken.  The police it seems failed, for whatever reason, to join the dots over several decades.

he did many sponsored runs/ walks etc. He was pivotal in raising funds for stoke mandeville. Its  a tragedy whatever way you look at it ...for everyone.

Particularly for the victims, and of them the ones brave enougth to stand up to him and make a complaint, only to be told not to be so silly etc etc.

It would also appear that everything Jimmy did during his life, was as much as anything, about getting access to children.

but I cant see how future cases of abuse will be stopped because of these " revelations".

Lessons have to learned.  I think some of them already have been.  Questions must be asked why this was all brushed under the carpet over several decades.  Surely that much his victims deserve?

I just hope it doesn't lead to further public paranoia, wrapping children up in even more cotton wool etc.  And of course the truth is today, just as it was then, most abuse takes place in the family. 

Though who would have expected their kids to be sexually abused at the BBC?
