Savile victims allege pedophile ring existed at BBC:
"A sex scandal gripping Britain's BBC deepened on Wednesday with claims that a
pedophile ring had existed involving some of its stars, as its former director
general said his handling of the case shouldn't stop him becoming the boss of the
New York Times.
The BBC has been thrown into disarray by accusations it helped cover up sexual
abuse by one of its most celebrated former presenters, Jimmy Savile, and has
struggled to explain why one of its own shows killed an investigation into it.
The broadcaster's current Director General George Entwistle has been
condemned for his handling of one of the worst crises in the corporation's 90-year
history and questions have also been raised about his predecessor Mark
Thompson, who is set to take over at the New York Times Co next month."
"In a sign the scandal could spread further, lawmaker Tom Watson told
parliament a senior aide to an unnamed former prime minister might have been
involved in a suspected pedophile ring."
