Jimmy Savile Investigation Looking At Three Doctors In New Allegations
Detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile scandal have been passed details of three doctors who are alleged to have abused young people in their care, the Guardian has reported.
It is understood the doctors, who have been identified by victims who have come forward in the last fortnight, worked at hospitals where Savile had links over several decades.
The former DJ had an office and living quarters in Broadmoor, a bedroom in Stoke Mandeville, and was given free rein at Leeds general infirmary.
As part of the investigation of allegations made against Savile the names of at least three doctors have been passed to police investigating living individuals. It is claimed that they were at the centre of a loose network of child abusers connected with Savile.
Detectives have not found evidence of a paedophile ring – involving the organised procurement of children for others – but are examining individuals who might have had access to vulnerable children, some of whom were associated with Savile.
