Just saw this story for the first time today that the late Jimmy Savile, who presented the Beatles on TV and in concert, has been accused of up to 400 cases of sexual abuse, mostly of women but also 2 men have come forward. Here's the basic story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20081021

This has been totally under the radar here in the US because only Beatle and other British Invasion nerds really know who Jimmy Savile was.
This is mindboggling.

Wow, take Jimmy down from the Beatles Hall of Fame of Bit Players!
That is horrendous if true. He is dead and can't defend himself. I suspect claims galore have been filed against his estate.
Weird looking dude too.

No worries.
I should have started a thread really.
There'll be more names coming out soon so keep your fingers crossed none of The Beatles are mentioned.

That is a real worry because we know famous Rock Stars attract women, young and old, like no one else! And we know teenage girls were just literally throwing themselves at The Beatles! It is naive to think that if a 15 or even 14 year old girl could get past the police, past Mal, past Neil and with the Beatles that she(or they) would just hold hands(despite the song). Yikes andy, now you've got me worried. Look at Bill Wyman, dating a 13 or 14 year old then marrying her!

What you say is very true and I bet some pop stars have slept with girls not knowing their "real" age by accident. We all remember girls who could get served in pubs when they were 14/15/16 and dressed up. Mistakes can be made.
Who knows?

The Stones and Led Zep were notorious for their sexual escapades, just to name two. (You could probably add the Who, as well.)
