Some BBC employees were aware of sexual assault complaints against the late entertainer Jimmy Savile but the institution missed opportunities to stop him, an investigation commissioned by the BBC found Thursday.
She said 117 people at the BBC admitted they had heard rumours about Savile, who even abused some victims on BBC premises, including the venues where his programs Top Of The Pops, and Jim'll Fix It were shot.

Since when is the BBC a police force?
It's not their job.

This is a very good point, but very much wasted on ATS. Adjust your aim, aim higher.
Anyway, I guess the employees of BBC should have revealed Savile's crimes if they could, but so should employees of a supermarket or a gas station too, or any establishment.
Neither of you guys are in the police (I assume) yet if you knew someone was sexually abusing minors you'd let it go?
