Jimmy Savile may have abused 1,000 young boys and girls while at the BBC as \u2018the establishment\u2019 turned a blind-eye to his crimes, it has been claimed.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Savile, who died aged 84 in 2011, \u2018rarely had a quiet day\u2019 during his decades with the broadcaster, according to an expert close to an investigation into his abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood charity \u2013 which has been consulted by the\u00a0Dame Janet Smith review \u2013 said Savile had been protected by people who should have exposed his behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I think the 1,000 figure is based on 50 years of him offending. It has been said that he didn\u2019t have a quiet day in his life,\u2019 he said.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u2018There wasn\u2019t a day when he wasn\u2019t up to something, so 1,000 might not be far from the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I have heard a lot over the last 18 months and talked to Jimmy Savile\u2019s victims, and I have lost count of the number of people who have said they knew about the nature of the man.<\/span><\/p>\n
