on something, see? The
6:32
thing some friends reunited suggest
6:34
something would happen at some crossed. But
6:37
it's not until early twentieth eleven,
6:39
the I read an account on the Web
6:41
by woman called Can Ward. She's
6:44
written one of the south and. Then.
6:46
Biographies on a literature site's

7:36
The friends reunited side, it looks
7:38
like those a police investigation get

8:18
half dozen ten. Victims
8:20
half dozen victims for me and few witnesses

were told about stoke mandeville have been
8:27
sending their Respected
8:29
how to duran when now thinking
8:32
that everything's teachings and wrong
8:34
way. One of those everywhere
8:36
was so into the peace, and I suppose
8:39
was thinking that might be a hundred victims.
8:41
Distributed across maybe ten institutions
8:44
over, sit ups and have huge underestimate.
8:47
but that's why we were by the time we
8:49
were ready for class over the months
8:51
afterwards and over working on
8:54
sustrans documentaries on savile
8:57

9:17
has for coming from me and around must
9:20
and Lotus was only one victim. For
9:22
me. They were all, we're
9:24
in my mind all the exits are to to,
9:27
including. The shoes
9:29

9:31
new, sudden moses the victims
9:34
because over there for me.
9:36
And he managed to get one and
9:38
the early days. If someone wins on camera one
9:40
of the victims did go on camera
9:43
and was brave enough and courageous enough
9:45
to do that that's a big leap of faith isn't
9:47
set at Sunday back then sued
9:49
to go on camera and.
9:52
thus when he really Though the story
9:54
was going to run. The and.
9:57

We talked to her for my off, and then we didn't will
10:32
look into the. And we came
10:34
out of their which totally convinced.
10:37
Jumping in here as I want you to hear
10:39
lists McCain talking about that and. Then
10:41

12:57
any choice in the be sued to pump

the investigation alive And
17:15
we were feeding back as sitting back term.
17:18
I'm worried about this that it may not go out
17:20
as having those conversations with A. Then
17:23
when it was finally pulls couldn't kern
17:25
I don't remember this. The
17:28

17:36
I'll just by that stage, I just swim. What
17:39
can we do, what can we do it? handed

back to when you were sixteen with your on
18:44
and the questions that. "Erase I saw not very
18:47
interesting hearing about that, but
18:49
also learning about list and just
18:51
the courage, the mental fortitude
18:53
from both of us, so thank you
18:55
for you, know. lives is no longer here but I'm
18:57
sure her family appreciate.
19:00
the partnership that you hadn't just that the
19:02
car It's that it took you both
19:04
to the evil. There's one less
19:06
had to say about it when speaking with BBC
19:09
Panorama in two thousand and twelve.
19:12
It's very unhappy to story didn't run because
19:14
I cells we've spoken to people
19:16
who collectively. That
19:18
could be heard. They
19:21
won't heard. Then thought
19:23
that was. The me.
19:26
And you were you concerned that actually
19:28
compiling data the?
19:29
The and the heart, yes,
19:32
I was with the yeah, so we had a responsibility
19:34
towards some we've got them to talk to
19:36
us. The bubble we didn't
19:38
believe them. For then.
19:41
So their stores not to be heard. Yes,
19:44
I have very bad about as felt very much
19:46
that I'd let them down.
19:49
Adding in Hawaii Stormer as
19:51
baden in a really powerful on
19:53
this as well and she's
19:56
huge resources or thousand
19:58
as well and that's very important. I'm
20:00
sported ariadne birth, family
20:02
and friends as well, I mean those
20:04
moments before the exposure.
20:07
TV program came out.
20:10
I knew that
20:12
the be single wobbly. They weren't sure
20:14
whether to leave the BBC line or what we
20:16
the side. The sooner the program
20:18
came out loans, some people BBC
20:21
World Side for not so that
20:23
city management schools. And
20:25
what's interesting is? The
20:28
up. When you look at the emails
20:30
to be exchanged when Cyber with
20:32
look what he's gonna die the A before
20:34
when suddenly decide senior
20:36
managers saying we can't make him on assume
20:39
about him because it is dark side. Well.
20:43
I'm nineteen ninety all. Barbara,
20:46
a school fetal, it's okay. Two
20:49
thousand when leads Ruth made
20:51
documentary which can raise default
20:54
rumors. The general public
20:56
talking about to me several. Then
20:59
I did. The BBC senior
21:01
managers people that that.
21:04
predecessors image incident eternity
21:07
The cheap lose simple about
21:10
bringing underage girls back to say
21:12
he did miss it is but said it was for their
21:14
own safety they didn't face in stop
21:17
doing it by. side in all
21:19
the tankers can find out and the contusion
21:21
most the papers because his fundraising
21:24
the celebrity stop and everything else
21:26
and his connections They were in
21:28
a run it, so it wasn't problems, the BBC.
21:32
Thirty. Two senior people do step down
21:34
in the BBC George and with so
21:36
on then a new or as it's there,
21:38
was pullout review does not go
21:40
far enough. I mean, in terms of the
21:43
people who were trying to stop things and
21:45
those who still may be empowering you talked about
21:47
Misogyny and see it in most
21:49
organizations of. Course, but
21:51
it just seems a very light A
21:54
heart's repercussion really and consequences,
21:57
something so dire and so he knows.
22:00
What followed the Polar Review
22:02
was and in the House be
22:04
syrupy? It brought
22:06
in an outsider to run its bus,
22:08
it was anti smoker effectively by the beach
22:11
since lawyers hijacked by
22:13
then. Oh, boy, color
22:15
concluded that the be, but we had
22:17
story of it should have run the earlier. They
22:20
also tend to the conclusion that the must be that
22:22
good reason for why the BBC
22:24
opposite. He never
22:26
came up with what that good reason is. Then
22:29
years later, nobody has found
22:31
a good reason for the BBC to drop
22:34
it. Which leaves us with
22:36
the bedroom. Which is why
22:38
covering up? The BBC
22:40
Food Not Bombs In Both Slums: The
22:43
BBC didn't want financial penalties
22:45
have pet victims, the BBC
22:48
did not want with damage to it's reputation
22:50
and huge damage to what
22:52
he always cool this key absolutely
22:55
t. The
22:57
which was to us. That message,
22:59
the Danish. The British
23:02
People's Trust in the Corporation
23:04
which seeks foisted now by governments
23:07
going to destroy BBC
23:09
for zone results in cyber
23:11
to the likes of Rupert Murdoch
23:13
and some it's. have some
23:16
now with the bbc This
23:18
huge self inflicted lot of swingman
23:20
reframing the arguments the which should
23:22
run. Okay, I remember
23:25
which is called the Red Flag, manage just
23:27
saying this is what happens if we run
23:29
it. The BBC looks bad in
23:31
yellow days to do should now. The
23:33
BBC goes ahead and doesn't run
23:36
it. Those attributes that
23:38
is and me. The
23:40
be three and it was.
23:41
Absolutely not, but that was going to be my question,
23:44
actually, I'm glad she wants to the of. explanation
23:47
really was given because some I'm
23:49
I think was Pullout said that the decision was taken
23:52
in good faith not to run it, but how
23:54
would you know that how would you know that and
23:56
I? They felt very confidently that
23:58
you and lives would spell. The move out
24:00
very clearly as a good. The
24:02
investigative journalist does.
24:04
In terms of what the story actually is
24:07
what it contains as well as the risk
24:09
assessment going either way
24:11
on it so it does seem to be
24:13
a whitewash to me and even in
24:15
the police I'm. i've covered
24:17
various
24:18
They say they hope to high
24:21
level corruption and in particular
24:23
Peter Sutcliffe I don't tend to talk about the
24:25
names as the perpetrators my sense
24:27
of with a serial killer like him just gives the initial
24:30
was but I was very surprised to see sample
24:32
visit. thing with him and pictures
24:35
of that visitation but of course
24:37
there were multiple reports to the place
24:40
Then think West Yorkshire police came out
24:42
with a review that said that there was Miss
24:44
Hands. The of intelligence an inverted
24:47
commas which, to me sounded
24:49
like complete whitewash intelligences
24:52
information for action The on, of course
24:55
there were multiple, please.
24:56
What is involved or can you
24:58
say about the police force isn't just
25:00
that the victims that were brave enough
25:02
and courageous enough to go?
25:03
Wouldn't the decisions taken not to proceed
25:06
and we talk about the? Crown Prosecution
25:08
Service has a separate entity
25:10
because they take decisions to but the police
25:13
response, what in your view was
25:15
going on there? We
25:17
know that the. The in leeds.
25:20
saddle how the Friday morning club way
25:22
of senior police officers coming
25:24
round in our every Friday morning
25:27
that up a few drinks you have
25:29
other? The blue you find
25:31
loner. And he was
25:33
saying when he was finally and feet by
25:35
sorry police. He was
25:37
selling the in show these
25:39
people, they show me letters
25:42
complain and found we talk about it,
25:45
he was very obvious that. The folks
25:47
that belief really screwed his pocket.
25:50
You, if you look, it's the food rolexes
25:53
simple, his lawyers, certain journalists
25:55
and sound. They always get the
25:57
impression of sex.
26:00
Charity inaction is road connections
26:03
Prime Minister and police was
26:05
part of that the swamp you know he was very
26:07
good at getting the second skin on site
26:10
and making it very difficult to say
26:13
the. russians as this expressing
26:15
If you have a crucial roof
26:18
over your head. You're not
26:20
that really deliberately constructed
26:22
that roof. The protection
26:24
from anything, the comments and that
26:26
was composed. Then you say
26:29
so. The wrote only.
26:31
Senior politicians are coming from.
26:35
someone the culture you know somebody who would Raised
26:37
money, please, charity, see whether
26:40
he was a good guy. And
26:42
the cost of taking him on, even
26:44
if he believes these victims. Would
26:47
be very, very hot.
26:49
Yeah, so the phrase I think he said his, "I
26:51
have a collection of senior, please" Come
26:53
and. "The collection, senior
26:56
policemen, save the problem with
26:58
corruption, is that", says. Many people invested
27:01
in keeping not see. Career and not being
27:03
as I trained police officers professionally
27:05
curious and asking the
27:07
right questions that they were just so many
27:09
concentric circles, my was talk about
27:11
serial perpetrator. The net yes,
27:14
most perpetrators if their behaviors onset
27:16
they all serial they just if they may
27:18
get what they want, why would
27:20
they stop? it if there's
27:22
no accountability no fear of repercussions
27:25
no fear of consequence so
27:27
he was offending across lots of different
27:30
victims heights and groups in
27:32
different areas too Graphically for
27:34
the most for police services that are involved
27:37
and, then decisions while should say
27:39
the lack of sharing that intelligence
27:41
and information not just within a police
27:43
service but across them. but then
27:46
the crown prosecution service played role
27:48
When deciding it wasn't in the public interest.
27:51
Who prosecute? And each victim
27:53
not knowing they are one of number
27:55
which in my purse. No experience one, someone
27:58
knows they are one of number. They're
28:00
much more likely to want their give
28:02
up. In trial. The hate the next
28:05
step but if you feel like it's to see you
28:07
on your own taking on this I.
28:09
mean particularly from particularly light him You
28:11
feel very alone, very isolated,
28:14
new probably be much more inclined not
28:16
to keep pushing
28:18
and keep asking questions about that, so
28:21
the Crown Prosecution Service played road,
28:23
see?
28:24
Didn't May yes I'm in the police
28:26
and the Crown Prosecution Service or Time
28:29
was so obsessed with
28:31
the idea that one witness, a one
28:33
victim, my talk to another one and
28:36
the that would plead or evidence
28:38
that they didn't tell? The actions
28:41
that there were other victims prepared
28:43
to go to court and sure, as
28:45
you say. Given the massive
28:47
power. The support that federal
28:50
had. Are you gonna go in
28:52
as one victim?
28:54
Against to call you know I'm
28:56
not even sure if you need with for your food.
28:58
You be more likely
29:00
to eat certainly be more likely to
29:02
if you need of a three or four others and
29:07
necessarily. see guess it's recent reports
29:09
into it and they adjusted how they
29:11
don't split sexual abuse afterwards
29:14
we realize they've got that wrong And
29:17
I think there's some people trying to substitute sisters,
29:19
they're adamant that was, think it was just.
29:23
Thompson's to the police. This
29:25
is warnings them. These
29:27
incidents, they were across it all over
29:29
Britain. Nobody
29:32
ever put says together. The
29:34
told he was reported in late fifties
29:37
early sixties when he saw
29:39
a mcneese intelligence report
29:41
for months and sixty four that loan
29:43
from A,. huge
29:46
amounts of nobody of the for any of
29:48
that to bother nobody took any
29:50
initiative the scale of is funding
29:52
is humbling owners another issue here
29:55
as well in britain and that's how my doubles
29:58
Unlike America, we've done pretty. Number and
30:00
the screen and speech. I know
30:02
journalists have to journalists going right the
30:04
way that Sixties the,
30:06
try to expose Saddle. and
30:09
the nice fight the lawyers say we
30:11
cannot do this Across
30:13
as a million pounds. The sure
30:16
the court will believe, son. The
30:18
people we can put up in court. "Cannot
30:20
do this and that happened again
30:23
and again and again in Britain
30:25
of the is it how libels
30:27
been more like America's" I
30:30
think we would have inspired hundred rights.
30:33
The thousand attacks.
30:35
Yes, that's a huge, and in
30:37
the Netflix sure you do hear from his lawyer,
30:40
he chose one of the talk to you see, didn't
30:42
he go? And he said to his son
30:45
he's not sample is not all his.
30:47
Racked up to be and. when he was
30:49
pressed about it
30:51
and it can't remember he said it's said him the
30:53
is sex offender in p to fall he said that
30:56
may well be true yeah looks
30:58
cool new to see of is certainly
31:00
some by mirror at the time because
31:02
it's been settled in months fool
31:05
Yeah plainly, Palm and
31:07
did not believe that Seven
31:09
was innocent but he was paid the money
31:11
he did the job in a he. he was her
31:14
father you know father was somebody to incorporate
31:16
destroy any case one of
31:18
the most famous folks
31:21
Ah, John was under service and Coronation
31:23
Street, one of their souls, was
31:26
charged with sexual abuse. them
31:29
and managed to destroy the with the says.
31:32
The wrong. Saw
31:35
had to admit that he had carried out the
31:37
attacks that he was an abuser
31:40
for Common was terrifying
31:42
if you're newspaper editor, he
31:45
would destroy any witness. I
31:47
mean, you'd hate now in the meat. Who era
31:49
and certainly what we saw with? Calais Maxwell,
31:52
where the Louis is.
31:53
The to destroy the victims actually
31:55
it works against them and it's
31:57
all well and good to test evidence
31:59
isn't. The is a wedding good and
32:01
it's the way that you do it. destroying
32:04
people in that process and getting them
32:06
further trauma and some may go
32:08
on to take their own lives that I believe is
32:11
seen as. No longer acceptable, so
32:13
shouldn't just be about the lawyers and
32:15
who tells the best story and disk. The thing
32:18
the victims in that process and do.
32:20
The even passing evidence is quite
32:22
rightly true and perhaps. If
32:24
this case, Hood. Hey,
32:26
me, too, would hope that they would be a different
32:28
response will die, one not one hundred percent. For
32:31
than as that I have to say but think
32:33
that's an interesting learning point and wondered
32:36
what. are the lessons that would you
32:38
say that they're all to be learned here the
32:40
other golden Okay, it's because think the Netflix
32:42
show what didn't feel it got to,
32:45
whereas can't wait. We've seen not and
32:47
it's absolutely terrific and Sam's testimony
32:49
is really important and what
32:51
you have to say, but how do we protect
32:53
people better and how do we prevent this
32:55
from happening again in the future, what
32:57
are your less? Then that he
32:59
would say. The very simple
33:02
fix him, do it.
33:03
That could reduce mercifully the
33:05
amount of apiece in a situation
33:07
so. In America
33:09
and many other countries that are all on
33:12
cool Monday, true for signals.
33:15
If you're the heads of school.
33:18
The hospital or church
33:20
or B. C. Sexual
33:23
abuse. The report it to
33:26
you have to report us. Britain,
33:29
there is no such you. In
33:31
Britain. If you have the head. You
33:34
can do one of two settings. You
33:37
can turn a blind eye, let me be scary
33:39
on if it gets out of friends, the point
33:41
that you think it's can be problem. It
33:44
gives them the good restaurants and they go somewhere
33:46
else and he got rid of the Purple Then. So
33:49
Britain, we still have not brought in
33:51
the one of the is. But
33:53
we need. The so another
33:56
symbol, there is nothing to stop
33:58
another several months. You to
34:00
return some? He
34:03
will change. These
34:06
victims lot of people in
34:08
okay food and rental
34:10
place after several. Said
34:13
look, I'm speeds twenty years gone by my
34:15
uncle. I want reports
34:17
it. Where are they were previously
34:19
not believe they were in some ways
34:21
it's didn't you tell me too movement,?
34:25
ah this beginning of The
34:28
holding celebrities. To
34:31
the public days. That again
34:33
said it meets it's possible because in Britain
34:35
it's full of U.S. ceci similar cases,
34:38
Rolf Harris is another popular TV
34:40
star or whole series
34:42
of cases like this, what people been
34:44
protected by the celebrity a
34:47
good guy status. Then
34:49
we can be taken down lot full
34:51
size image. The whole for me
34:53
to change in white totally.
34:55
it'll come far enough and important i still
34:58
think witnesses On a hard
35:00
time in court. We
35:02
still have pool in persecution
35:05
right, super drunk on
35:07
some absolutely unbelievably.
35:10
That prosecution rights so.
35:12
lot more need see don't It
35:14
started me I'm hopeful
35:17
that we will go much further.
35:19
This is a lot more lot more work to
35:21
be done around victims and when they come
35:23
forward and also just the understanding
35:25
that child sexual abuse. While
35:27
the survivors of it's most
35:29
likely were. Talk until they're in their third or fourth
35:31
decades. The'and and is normally when they
35:33
have their. In child or. Something.
35:36
Really powerful was an event happens
35:38
in their life where they feel secure and safe enough
35:40
to talk about this, out of course
35:42
you have various people who say, "Well,
35:44
if it" Really happened, they would have spoken about
35:46
her at the time was that
35:48
just doesn't happen, and we see not I see
35:51
that played out in all my. pace
35:53
work] Then we still have to pass
35:55
these myths, a nice stereotypes
35:58
that people have in their heads include. The jurors
36:00
that actually be no one's, the case goes
36:02
to court when much more likely to get conviction
36:05
if it's sexual by. Then. And
36:07
or domestic violence, and
36:10
it's guessing it there in the first
36:12
place and not having everything played out
36:14
of some I'm making decision whether it be police
36:16
or CPS prior. To
36:18
that price us, so we definitely
36:20
have lot more salon and I
36:23
appreciate your time and wanted
36:25
to keep you for the our and know you've got you've.
36:28
Had a very busy day, so unless is or
36:30
anything else that you haven't mentioned
36:32
that you would like. Then.
36:34
The logic of it, you take me through my
36:36
students, and I think
36:38
seals on the swamp.
36:40
And. I appreciate that and I've really enjoyed
36:43
is the wrong word as I've enjoyed talking with
36:45
you because it's a very heavy subject birth
36:47
I really thank you for your work on. This
36:50
and paid tribute to lists again, and
36:52
hope that we speak another time in the future,
36:54
say thank you very much. Thank
36:57
you. The engine
36:59
kinda came here. What
37:01
a fascinating interview. So
37:03
many things to think about more?
37:05
The team then Marion and List
37:08
made. We say that last
37:10
point. Then I hear that all the
37:12
time. Well, if it really happened
37:15
or if they really were reviews, they would
37:17
have done X Y or said. This
37:20
has been really press. Recently, and
37:22
is deeply hobbling. Even
37:24
if you sadly have. The victimized,
37:27
you know, about your situation, but
37:29
not necessarily about someone else is.
37:32
Everyone situation is new and stuff and
37:34
details on it. "idiosyncrasy
37:37
to them and the circumstances in the call" The
37:39
facts surrounding stuff events.
37:42
That often I see a rush to judgment
37:44
about what real victim would do as.
37:47
well as unfortunately i'm seeing lack
37:49
of empathy and compassion Someone
37:52
well, I'm talking more specifically about women
37:55
when women in particular this. The abuse.
37:58
Hundreds recorded by. That was
38:00
wearing busy questioning and judge in
38:02
motivates him, did or didn't do we
38:05
take her I have? The perpetrator.
38:08
That plays right into the hands of someone
38:10
like Jimmy Savile. They
38:12
always say there's no such thing as A.
38:14
One time rapist or domestic
38:16
abuse, a or stalker, and
38:18
we need to get much better at identifying
38:21
them. That's what are so pissed.
38:23
The time and energy should be on in
38:25
my opinion. Questions
38:27
of them are more they did
38:29
and how we identify them earlier and
38:32
how we better. Protect victim. There,
38:35
until next time, be curious,
38:37
ask questions and always
38:39
trust your instincts.
38:55
My final two cents before the episode,
