to do that that's a big leap of faith isn't

listing the. Lid on their son, that's what the world

18:29

see, and I guess,

18:32

in some ways, and the story is bigger than

18:34

both, even less, for sure, but there must

18:36

be a part. Of view, the would

18:38

have liked to have broken it because you

18:40

had the genesis of it, it went

18:42

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
