Sorry but I just don’t think that’s true. Not in a way that would have justified, at the time, an investigation. Someone complained in the mid 80s about an alleged incident in the early 70s but wouldn’t cooperate with the police. What would you seriously have expected any employer to do about that? Ignore the headline of the article below and read what actually transpired:- Good, that puts that to bed. Rest assured.

Douglas Muggeridge, late controller of Radio 1 and 2 in 1973, launched two investigations into Savile in 1973 but the inquiries were more concerned with "risk of damage to the BBC's reputation" than the welfare of the girls who might be involved with Savile

Where does your claim comes from, because it conflicts completely with what the article says happened.

I can understand the defence of the BBC. What I fail to see is how anyone can defend their handling of the paedophiles and perverts that seem to be rife in their organisation. That's defending the indefensible. I may as well try to rehabilitate Ian Brady. Just misunderstood. No-one is, or needs to, defend the BBC in the way you suggest because they don’t and never have covered up the activities of paedophiles. It’s a myth that is strongly held and endlessly circulated by the right and their media to the point it becomes, in their minds, the truth.

When the likes of the police, cricket clubs and others are routinely accused of institutional racism etc, those myths are endlessly circulated by the left and their media (including the BBC) to the point it becomes, in their minds, the truth. Yet the glaring problem of sexual deviancy by a number of high profile BBC celebrities is dismissed by the left as a myth.

They all involved high profile people in the media taking advantage of their positions. That also means that when their behaviour is discovered it gets much more attention than if they were working quietly in a backwater. Those things are true but what isn’t is this idea that the BBC itself was complicit because it wilfully either ignored or covered it up. That, given the benefit of hindsight, they should have been more aware is the reason why new protocols and procedures have been established that match the expectations of today.

No-one is suggesting predatory paedophiles in the media, or other positions of power, don’t exist. What is mythical is the idea that the BBC condoned it in some way. They were as duped by these people as the rest of us and have subsequently taken steps to try to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
