Sinister police recordings show furious Jimmy Savile rage over paedophile allegations

Paedophile Jimmy Savile 's furious denial over allegations of sexual abuse is captured in sinister police recordings, in which he rages he's "never done anything wrong in 83 years".

Known as one of Britain's most prolific predatory sex offenders, Savile is said to have around 500 victims after using his fame, fortune and charity work to evade justice.

Hundreds of allegations were made against him after his death in 2011, but many were made during his lifetime as well - but accusers were either ignored or disbelieved.

Prior to his death, however, he was interrogated by police on the allegations, which he rages are "impossible and untrue".

In a new Netflix documentary, streaming from today, the chilling recording sees Savile rant that the interrogation was "starting to sound like the Mad Hatter's tea party".

The detective constable from Surrey Police interviewing Savile announces her name for the tape, and then Savile rages: "I'm proud that, in 83 years, I have never ever done anything wrong."

She asks: "Are you sexually attracted to girls under 16?"

He responds in fury: "Impossible and untrue!"

The DC questions: "Have you ever sexually assaulted any girl under the age of 16?"

Savile rages: "Never! Never! Out of the question. Never happened. This is starting to sound like the Mad Hatter's tea party, this."

The documentary also unearths old clips of Savile openly alluding to his sexual violent tendencies towards women as he speaks to reporter Phil Tibenham.

Tibenham says: "You're always doing something physical like cycling or wrestling or something. Are you in some way trying to punish yourself?

"Oh, no, not at all," Savile replies. "The only time you punish yourself is when you are with young ladies. Then you punish yourself because you're such a villain. You should be kind to them and you're not kind to them. And you squeeze them and make 'em go 'ouch' and things like that."

After Savile died, hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse and recollections from witnesses surfaced.

The allegations included children as young as two and patients of Stoke Mandeville Hospital where Savile, who raised millions for charity allowing him to avoid the accusations, volunteered as a porter.

At the infamous psychiatric hospital Broadmoor, one nurse told an investigation the presenter had boasted he had "mucked about" with some of the corpses in the mortuary. An investigation found that his interest in dead people was "not within accepted boundaries".
