A former BBC governor and Children in Need chairman says he had suspicions about Jimmy Savile more than a decade ago and felt so strongly about rumours of the late Jim’ll Fix It presenter’s child abuse that he would not allow him any involvement with the charity.

Sir Roger Jones said he always felt that Savile was “a pretty creepy sort of character” and had heard of rumours from BBC staff in London, but did not tell management because he did not have any evidence to back the gossip up.

“If you’re going to go on the attack and make claims against him, then you’d need evidence, hard evidence that simply wasn’t there,” he said in an interview with BBC Wales.

“When I was with Children in Need, we took the decision that we didn’t want him anywhere near the charity and we just stepped up our child protection policies which again would have put him at risk if he tried anything. I think we all recognised he was a pretty creepy sort of character.”

Jones said he was extremely conscious of the potential for paedophiles to be associated with the charity event, which involves celebrities and others raising money for vulnerable and ill children around the country and internationally.

“We knew that the biggest thing to guard against was the paedophiles,” he added.

Chris Dickens, 45, resigned from Stoke Mandeville Hospital Radio after it handed out the magazine despite the Savile sex abuse scandal.

Mr Dickens said: “I’m just angry about the whole thing. I don’t feel we should be handing out these magazines. What is the reason for it?

“People are reading them in the hospital as we speak.

“If these things are true, he was an absolute monster.”

The self-titled radio magazine was produced prior to the scandal but pays tribute to Savile on one of its pages.

He is referred to by those who worked at the radio station and people who knew him as a ‘great man’.

The magazine was eventually removed on Tuesday but radio secretary Carol Jenkins was keen to stress it did not receive any complaints from staff or patients at the hospital.

“We didn’t in our wildest dreams ever mean to cause any offence. The reason I volunteer here is I absolutely love working for the staff and patients.”

The DJ took his concerns to the radio station committee but was told they would still be circulated which prompted him to resign with immediate effect, despite having spent seven years volunteering at the station.

“I’m thinking there’s no smoke without fire. There’s too many accusations for this to be fabricated,” he added.

“I cannot continue promoting a station that does this.”

Ms Jenkins paid tribute to Mr Dickens and said it was ‘sad’ to see him resign.

“He’s made a great contribution. He’s a man of great principle and it’s really sad he felt had to resign over this.”

Three doctors ‘collaborated in the abuse’ by Savile with one ‘helping select child patients to rape’

Police have been given the names of doctors who are accused of being in league with Jimmy Savile.

One doctor allegedly ‘collaborated’ with the BBC star in selecting child patients to rape at Leeds General Infirmary.

Two others worked alongside him at Stoke Mandeville, the Buckinghamshire hospital where nurses warned children to ‘pretend to be asleep’ when Savile toured the wards.

Savile’s Highlands cottage at Glencoe has been vandalised, with the words ‘Jimmy the beast’ daubed in large black lettering on the walls and windows

Yesterday a child-abusing retired Stoke Mandeville consultant, Dr Michael Salmon, was in hiding after a woman reported him to police for allegedly groping her in 1982. The woman, now 42, told the Mail that Dr Salmon, who displayed a Jim’ll Fix It picture in his office, squeezed her breast while pretending to check her heartbeat to treat her migraines. She said: ‘I was only 12 but quite well endowed. I was so shocked.’

Eight years later, in 1990, the paediatrician was jailed for indecently assaulting three other girls, two aged 13 and one of 17. He served three years in prison and now lives in retirement with his wife Mary, 70, in a £750,000 cottage in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire.

A woman told yesterday how she was raped by Savile at Stoke Mandeville where he wore a T-shirt that read: ‘Sex Instructor, first lesson free’.

“We all felt, ‘There’s something not right there.’ But we didn’t know what, and it was kind of in the back of our minds. But you could never quite suss (work) him out. We did so many Top of the Pops, so many Jim’ll Fix Its.”

Parfitt also suggests the scandal gripping the BBC could run much deeper, adding, “If you watch those early editions of Top of the Pops, all the girls there have got skirts up to their chins. There were a lot of girls knocking around downstairs and people would invite them down to the dressing room.

“I think that anybody would be forgiven around that time if you’ve got a girl in the corner – everybody was doing that. There were loads of girls, and they were willing. They were all coming into the dressing room – you’re walking into a rock band’s dressing room with a skirt up to your chin. Everybody was messing about. Of course we were. Everybody was groping everybody – that was it at Top of the Pops, everybody was at it.”

It is a salutary warning for police practitioners of the need to keep on the alert and make sure that the many steps that have been put in place since the ’70s and ’80s actually are going to work as best they can.

We are living in a different world to the 1970s in terms of our understanding of child sexual abuse and our tolerance of it.

Far from the Jimmy Savile scandal, the director of BBC News Helen Boaden took the witness stand in London today.

A squad of Beeb legal staff, including two barristers, crammed into a small court room to support the £354,000-a-year news chief against her opponent, a North Wales pensioner who was accompanied only by his wife. The case is a six-year freedom of information battle in which the BBC is refusing to disclose who attended a seminar it held in 2006.

This seminar is historically significant. The BBC’s global reputation for news reporting stems from its unshakable impartiality; even in wartime its commitment to maintaining evenhandedness has occasionally enraged British politicians (and sometimes servicemen). Following that 2006 seminar, however, the corporation made a decision to abandon impartiality when covering climate change – and that’s according to the BBC Trust. This was an unprecedented decision for the BBC in peacetime.

On what basis was this made? In June 2007, the Trust, which governs the gigantic publicly-funded broadcaster, published a report with the gnomic title From Seesaw to Wagon Wheel [PDF]. That document gives us this clue:

The BBC has held a high-level seminar with some of the best scientific experts, and has come to the view that the weight of evidence no longer justifies equal space being given to the opponents of the consensus [on anthropogenic climate change].

Blogger Tony Newbery was curious as to the identity of these “scientific experts”, and filed a Freedom of Information Act request, as he outlines here in an introduction to the saga.

The BBC merely confirmed to Newbery that the seminar took place but not who attended. Rather surprisingly, the “best scientific experts” – who you may think would want the world to know who they are – have not volunteered the information. This baffled our blogger.

It has become an inevitable part of the Android user experience that apps will ask for a long laundry list of permissions. Many apps will ask you to grant them network access so they can download updates. Others seek permission to read your phone’s state and identity so calls won’t disrupt them from doing what they’re doing. Unfortunately, these permissions can be abused for criminal intentions.

In relation to online piracy it argues that the government plans

to modernize copyright law in such a way that it will do justice to the protection of creative works without impairing consumer use.

 

Dutch language news article:
http://www.nu.nl/internet/2945339/nieuw-kabinet-wil-cybercrime-harder-aanpakken.html

Still Wondering Why The Netherlands Is A Hub For Human Trafficking And Sexual Abuse Of Children? Here’s One Answer

In a lengthy and amazingly ‘woolly’ news article published by Dutch newspaper Trouw, two Dutch sexologists Erik Van Beek and Rik Van Lunsen elaborate on their preferred approach to the pedophile problem.

In summary:

1.  They argue that ‘virtual’ (as in not real, artificially made, computer generated) child abuse images could have beneficial effects when treating pedofiles in mental institutions. They do argue that those images should be produced by bona fide producers and should carry an official sign of approval. However, Van Beek also argues that those virtual child abuse images should be easily accessible, without any negative consequences for the person acquiring them, so that the offering of virtual child abuse images could compete with the illegal offering of real child abuse images and perhaps disrupt latter market. Such a theory does carry with it the precondition that pedophiles everywhere should be able to access it, including online environments. Since – due to technological prowess – it’s very difficult to differentiate virtual from non-virtual child abuse images nowadays, this suggestion seems to be one of the most stupid ideas ever brought forward by a ‘specialist’ in this field.

2. According to the ‘experts’, the very activity of watching child abuse images does NOT increase the chance of a pedophile actually engaging in child abuse itself. However, they DO claim that if pedophiles are being prevented from watching that material, chances of them engaging in actual child abuse activities WILL increase.

Furthermore, the article tries to convince the reader to have some sympathy with pedophiles. As such it states:

“Those who are longing for child pornography, have a big problem. Because that’s illegal” (Duh! Everyone who is longing for something illegal has a problem. Let’s give a bank robber some fake money, maybe that’ll help?)

“One cannot offer them (pedophiles) anything, because as soon as the material gets too real, it’s illegal” (Why do you think that is, Einstein?)

“One should offer the virtual child pornography to the group that doesn’t want to hurt children and, when experiencing these stimuli, will not hurt anyone. One allows them to play in their garden of lust, so to speak”

And then the most brilliant quote from the mouth of Erik van Beek: “The only good reason to ban child pornography is that the production of it requires the abuse of children” (yeah…right….so people watching children being abused , even when the CGI version cannot be differentiated from the real thing – because it has to cause the proper stimuli – is just peachy??)

The article does offer one piece of information that is very useful. Apparently, and unconsciously, the therapists are really and sort of desperately looking for ways to help out their patients. And they hope and believe that by allowing pedophiles to indulge in their vices, if only just a tiny bit and in a controlled environment and with use of ‘virtual’ child pornography, the problem will be contained in the best way possible. However, at one point during the article Rik van Lunsen does acknowledge that:

Pedophiles cannot be converted. Their sexual preference has been locked before they’re eight years of age.

Who knows, maybe such an approach could work to make life more bearable for both the pedophiles that are emprisoned or hospitalized and the prison and hospital staff as well. But please don’t litter the internet with ‘virtual’ child abuse images, as something like ‘virtual’ child abuse images probably doesn’t even exists…It’s almost like giving drug addicts government approved medication which has the same effect as heroin, and then distribute the alternative drugs on the streets to have it compete with the illegal offering out there.

And in this case, it will be very hard for internet users to see the difference between real and virtual child abuse images, especially if the virtual images are supposed to have the same ‘impact’ on these predators. And ‘signs of approval’ are easily counterfeited too.

All of this could only result in a thriving new legal and illegal market for ‘virtual’ or who knows, perhaps even ‘virtualized’ child abuse images. That’s certainly not helpful to say the least.

Oh and according to Rik van Lunsen, Marc Dutroux and Robert Mikelsons are just spectres and huge exceptions to the rule. And they’re much more psychopaths than they are pedophiles.

Keep calm and carry on…

On Monday, the US Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that pits a major textbook publisher against Supap Kirtsaeng, a student-entrepreneur who built a small business importing and selling textbooks.

“This case is an attempt by some brands and manufacturers to manipulate copyright law.”

Like many Supreme Court cases, though, there’s more than meets the eye. It’s not merely a question of whether the Thai-born Kirtsaeng will have to cough up his profits as a copyright infringer; the case is a long-awaited rematch between content companies seeking to knock out the “first sale” doctrine on goods made abroad (not to mention their many opponents). That makes Wiley v. Kirtsaeng the highest-stakes intellectual property case of the year, if not the decade. It’s not an exaggeration to say the outcome could affect the very notion of property ownership in the United States. Since most consumer electronics are manufactured outside the US and include copyrighted software in it, a loss for Kirtsaeng would mean copyright owners could tax, or even shut down, resales of everything from books to DVDs to cellphones.

A posting on the AnonNews site this morning posits that layoffs at Zynga will help to bring about the “end of the US game market as we know it” as jobs get shipped overseas, a plan that the AnonNews report says was discovered in confidential files leaked from the games maker.

During the last few days anonymous has been targeting Zynga for the outrageous treatment of their employees and their actions against many developers.We have come to believe that this actions of Zynga will result in massive layoff of a thousand people and legal actions against everyone that speaks to the public about this plan.

It will also come to end of the US game market as we know it as all this jobs will be replaced in other more convenient financial countries.

With a billion dollars cash sitting in a bank we do believe that such actions are an insult to the population and the behaviour of corporations like Zynga must change.

Beyond merely publicizing the alleged plan, Anonymous says it stands ready to retaliate — it is threatening to “release also all the games we’ve taken from their servers for free,” if Zynga doesn’t call off the offshoring effort. The group did not specify what games it has taken but set a deadline of November 5 — also known as Guy Fawkes Day, named for the English historical figure from which Anonymous derives inspiration.

When delegates gather in Dubai in December for an obscure UN agency meeting, fighting is expected to be intense over proposals to rewrite global telecom rules to effectively give the United Nations control over the Internet.

Russia, China and other countries back a move to place the Internet under the authority of the International Telecommunications Union, a UN agency that sets technical standards for global phone calls.

US officials say placing the Internet under UN control would undermine the freewheeling nature of cyberspace, which promotes open commerce and free expression, and could give a green light for some countries to crack down on dissidents.

Observers say a number of authoritarian states will back the move, and that the major Western nations will oppose it, meaning the developing world could make a difference.

“The most likely outcome is a tie, and if that happens there won’t be any dramatic changes, although that could change if the developing countries make a big push,” said James Lewis, director of the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“But there is a lot of discontent with how the Internet is governed and the US will have to deal with that at some point.”

The former ‘key personnel’ were named to police after the alleged victims had reported their ordeals to a charity.

Scotland Yard is preparing an ‘arrest strategy’ to target living accomplices of the late paedophile presenter.

The hitlist includes former BBC employees accused of colluding with Savile, including one who allegedly raped a beauty queen.

Pete Saunders, of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, said: “We have had several allegations about people abused at the BBC but not by Savile himself. We have been told of three key personnel on a flagship BBC programme from the 1980s.” The callers were directed to the police, he added.

Separately there have been accusations Savile ran a “gang of four” at the Top of the Pops programme, said to be staff including a cameraman.

Police have been given the names of doctors who are accused of being in league with Jimmy Savile.

One doctor allegedly ‘collaborated’ with the BBC star in selecting child patients to rape at Leeds General Infirmary.

Two others worked alongside him at Stoke Mandeville, the Buckinghamshire hospital where nurses warned children to ‘pretend to be asleep’ when Savile toured the wards.

Savile’s Highlands cottage at Glencoe has been vandalised, with the words ‘Jimmy the beast’ daubed in large black lettering on the walls and windows

Yesterday a child-abusing retired Stoke Mandeville consultant, Dr Michael Salmon, was in hiding after a woman reported him to police for allegedly groping her in 1982. The woman, now 42, told the Mail that Dr Salmon, who displayed a Jim’ll Fix It picture in his office, squeezed her breast while pretending to check her heartbeat to treat her migraines. She said: ‘I was only 12 but quite well endowed. I was so shocked.’

Eight years later, in 1990, the paediatrician was jailed for indecently assaulting three other girls, two aged 13 and one of 17. He served three years in prison and now lives in retirement with his wife Mary, 70, in a £750,000 cottage in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire.

A woman told yesterday how she was raped by Savile at Stoke Mandeville where he wore a T-shirt that read: ‘Sex Instructor, first lesson free’.

Salmon, 77, was ‘unavailable’ for comment, said his wife, adding: ‘He is not here. He has gone away.’

A neighbour said Salmon had been keeping a low profile recently, adding: ‘He has been trying to avoid journalists for the past couple of weeks.’

Dr Raymond Brown, who worked as a consultant paediatrician with Salmon, said the doctor would have known Savile because everyone at Stoke Mandeville knew him. The hospital has refused to answer a long list of questions put by the Mail, including whether the £40 million Savile raised for it made him ‘untouchable’.

At Leeds General Infirmary, two former women patients have come forward to name a doctor. He is accused of ‘brutal rape’. The National Association for  People Abused in Childhood charity said: ‘One of the victims has  said Jimmy and this doctor used to collaborate in choosing girls and taking them somewhere else to abuse them.’ Leeds General Infirmary said it had ‘not been passed any information about a specific allegation or the name of an individual, so understandably we cannot say any more about this.’

Stoke Mandeville said it was ‘shocked and saddened to hear of the very serious allegations’ and was co-operating with police inquiries. Now 51, the woman said she was a 20-year-old volunteer at the hospital when Savile lured her into his room and attacked her. She said: ‘I counted him as a friend as we had worked together at the hospital for a long time and I trusted him.

‘He was very strong and forceful when he realised I was resisting him. After it happened he told me not to tell anyone because he said no one would believe me.’

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224573/Three-doctors-collaborated-abuse-Savile-helping-select-child-patients-rape.html

A spokesman for Mr Thompson, who is to become chief executive of the New York Times, said he had not been told about the abuse allegations when they were made in May and September. A newspaper journalist is reported to have contacted the head of Mr Thompson’s office about Savile in May, but was told to speak to the BBC press office.

His office chief said she did not inform Mr Thompson about the allegations, which are also said to have been tabled in a freedom of information request rejected several months earlier.

A spokesman for Mr Thompson said he “was not aware of the conversation”.

He added that Mr Thompson “was on holiday at the time and this brief conversation was not relayed to him”.

It was also reported that Mr Thompson’s office was again contacted about Savile in September. This time, it came in an e-mail from ITV, which was separately investigating the entertainer, sent to both the BBC editorial policy department and Mr Thompson’s office.

A BBC spokesman confirmed the e-mail had been received. He added: “We cannot say definitively it did not go anywhere else.”

Mr Thompson’s spokesman said: “Mark does not recall being briefed and took no part in the response to the e-mail. This response was handled by colleagues in BBC Journalism.
