How come all the papers are reporting that during an interview in 2009 that Jimmy Savile - seemed to support Gary Glitter...

Jimmy Savile was interviewed by detectives under caution in 2007 over claim of abuse at children's home in 1970s | Mail Online

Glitter was sentenced to four months' imprisonment after being convicted of downloading over 4,000 pornographic images of children, some as young as two and three, in 1999.

In March 2006 Glitter was jailed for three years for molesting two girls, aged 11 and 12, in the Vietnamese resort town of Vung Tau and made to sign the sex offenders' register.

Savile allegedly says in a recorded interview that Glitter - whose real name is Paul Gadd - had only used the films for his own 'gratification' and had not tried to profit from them by selling them.

The Jim'll Fix It presenter is shown in an interview with a journalist in 2009, suggesting that Gadd was more victim than predator.



He says: 'Now Gary, all he did was to take his computer into PC World to get it repaired.


'They went into the hard drive, saw all these dodgy pictures and told the police and the police then, "Oh we've got a famous person...Oh my goodness, yeah we'll have them."

'But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that.
