Police who interviewed Jimmy Savile over child sex abuse claims four years ago told prosecutors to drop the case against the paedophile, newly released files reveal.
The swaggering pervert was interviewed under caution at Stoke Mandeville hospital, one of several locations where he is believed to have targeted victims in decades of abuse – yet was allowed to walk free.
He was asked about claims he assaulted one girl at the hospital and two others who were residents at Duncroft Approved School for Girls in Staines, Surrey, in the 1970s.
The interview was one of the best chances of catching Britain’s most prolific paedophile, who died two years later in 2011.
