JIMMY Savile’s victims are calling for one, judge-led inquiry into how the former DJ was able to evade justice for so many years.

Alan Collins, a lawyer representing around 60 victims of the disgraced TV presenter said he feared an opportunity could be “missed” by all the other investigations into Savile.

He said there should be one inquiry led by a High Court judge with “considerable” experience in criminal law who would have access to all the work undertaken by the other investigations.

He told BBC Breakfast: “We have a number of inquiries under way at the moment – there must be at least a dozen – we have got the BBC being investigated, the NHS, various hospitals, and… we have the police and Crown Prosecution Service.”
