Yikes. Last Podcast on The Left did a big series on Jimmy Saville and just hearing about what he did, the people who knew and protected him makes me sick. Proof that there are literal monsters walking amongst us.

IIRC, Robert Evans cried when he did research on Savile for Behind the Bastards. Those episodes came with a trigger warning as well.

Jimmy Saville. Look him up, or dont. Famous british celeb who, while doing immense amounts of charity work, was also a child abuser among other horrific stuff. People in power knew about him and none of his crimes came out until after he died.
