Yes agree with that. I don’t believe in a huge cover up since the 60’s. Saville was a manipulative b****d. He also deliberately did many apparent good things to embed himself within institutions knowing it would make any complaints against him much less likely.I don't doubt at all that people suspected it, or joked about it because of his creepy vibe, but you can't really make a formal complaint or prosecute someone based on a 'vibe'. I'm not sure it was all covered up anyway, I just don't think enough people complained when he was still alive. Understandable that they didn't, given how he manipulated them, and yet another example of what a dangerous bloke he was.
How could some young kid or vulnerable person complain against someone like him. They would never have dared.
