Met Police To Assess Jimmy Savile Allegations
The Metropolitan Police Service has agreed to take the national lead in assessing the recent information regarding allegations made against the late Jimmy Savile.
The assessment will be undertaken by the Serious Case Team of the Met's Child Abuse Investigation Command under the leadership of Detective Superintendent David Gray.
"Our priority will be to ensure a proportionate and consistent policing response putting the victims at the heart of our enquiries. It is too early to say how many individual allegations there are, and we will be making contact with all those concerned in due course," they said in a statement.
It is not an investigation at this stage.
They will be working closely with the BBC investigations unit.
