Following Jimmy Savile's death in 2011, it was revealed that he was one of Britain's most notorious sex offenders, having abused hundreds of victims over several decades. His fame from shows like Top of the Pops allowed him to exploit vulnerable individuals, primarily young females, in various locations including hospitals and schools. A report in 2013 described the extent of his crimes as unprecedented in the UK. Savile also had a disturbing fascination with the dead, claiming some of his ornate rings were made from the glass eyes of corpses. He admitted to engaging in sexual acts with deceased bodies at a mortuary and discussed his obsession with tampering with corpses. Despite numerous allegations against him, he was never prosecuted while alive, with the Crown Prosecution Service citing insufficient support from victims to proceed with cases.
