I AM appalled by the article in last week's Guardian, on p5.

Mr Savage served his time more than 30 years ago for the appalling crimes he had committed but the latest people who have now come forward are in my opinion jumping on the Jimmy Savile bandwagon.

What is even more appalling in this case is that the original records of the earlier case held by the police cannot be found.

Mr Savage has terminal cancer and I sincerely hope that his legal team put in a challenge to have the case looked at again with specific emphasis on the missing police records and Mr Savage’s health.
