The former investigator who exposed Jimmy Savile as a p***dophile claims to be hunting down another “untouchable” person.
A year after Jimmy Savile passed away at age 84, Mark Williams-Thomas made headlines in 2012 by outing the DJ in the ITV documentary The Other Side of Jimmy Savile.
The documentary rocked the business, and many Savile victims came forward after it was shown.
Williams-Thomas stated to inews ten years later that there is another “important person” who isn’t receiving public attention.
The former detective claimed to the news outlet: “There are still people out there who are untouchable.
“There is one very significant person who I have done everything to try and get prosecuted because he is clearly a child s** offender.”
Williams-Thomas continued by saying that the Crown Prosecution Service hasn’t brought any charges against the subject of interest despite her worries.
The investigator added: “The police and I have tried really hard to get there.
“He will die in due course and then the floodgates will open in the same way they did with Savile.
“That’s not right. But justice takes many different forms.”
Williams-Thomas continued by saying that the Crown Prosecution Service hasn’t brought any charges against the subject of interest despite her worries.
He said, via The Irish Mirror: “I’ve seen the value of lifting anonymity for victims to come forward.
“It’s one of the reasons the CPS didn’t have evidence to prosecute Savile when he was alive.”
Williams-Thomas continued by saying that a “critical role” is played by the media in encouraging victims to come forward.
In response to Williams-Thomas’ assertions, Metro contacted the Crown Prosecution Service for more details.
According to a CPS spokeswoman, the news source: “The CPS takes cases of child s**ual abuse incredibly seriously, and will consider any case referred to us by the police.”
Operation Yewtree, a formal criminal inquiry, was started the following year.
According to Crime+Investigation UK, it was initially started to evaluate the allegations that surfaced after the ITV series.
The response to Operation Yewtree, an NSPCC representative told the Daily Express, was “unprecedented.”
“The outcry led to greater public awareness about child sexual abuse, recognition of the importance of giving victims a voice, and empowered survivors to break the silence and speak out – which in turn led to the apprehension of other abusers including other celebrities,” the representative commented.
