He lavished gifts on everybody and was all jolly and then he wanted people to come out with him for a ride in his car.”

Sometimes he bought perfume, he brought make-up. He used to bring a thousand cigarettes with him and cigarettes were the currency in that kind of environment so girls just flocked around him. “Everybody knew he was a perv and everybody knew he would be groping and wanting sex and wanting other worse things than just plain sex but he brought lots of nice things with him. For years, Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall and pop star Gary Glitter were adored by fans - but the horrifying truth of how they abused vulnerable.

I think she might have been not quite 14.” "The girl Gary Glitter was having sex with also came from Duncroft. “Jimmy Savile had a girl on his lap and his hand up her skirt and inside her underwear. I also told them I was horribly, horribly humiliated. “I didn’t see it completely but that’s what was going on and nobody batted an eyelid. Karin, who initially made her claims to the BBC’s Newsnight programme – which dropped plans to broadcast them – added: “I told Newsnight I saw Gary Glitter have sex with a girl in Jimmy Savile’s dressing room – in the alcove bit. “I didn’t like him because he smelled like my stepfather.
