BBC’s Growing Sexual Abuse Scandal Shakes Britain
Jimmy Savile was the host of a popular children’s TV show on the BBC for years. He died last year at the age of 84. The BBC program “Newsnight” was to have aired an investigation into charges that Savile sexually abused children.Members of British Parliament want to know why it was cancelled. Britain’s Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, said “very real concerns” about the public trust in the BBC have been raised.
