Jimmy Savile "got a kick" from dropping hints about his abuse of children, says a lawyer who won millions of pounds in compensation for Savile's victims.
The Leeds-born TV presenter, who is thought to have sexually abused up to 1,000 victims, is the subject of the Netflix documentary Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story. Alan Collins, the solicitor who brought to court compensation claims for Savile's victims, was interviewed for the two-part programme which airs tomorrow (Wednesday) focussing on how the former DJ fooled the British establishment.
Alan, who specialises in obtaining compensation for sexual abuse victims, said Savile enjoyed toying with interviewers by hinting at the sick crimes he had carried out on teenagers and vulnerable adults. In one now notorious interview, Savile implies his apparent philanthropy is a "front" for something more sinister and his interviewer, Gloria Hunniford, laughs, apparently believing it's a joke.
