15:43 16 October 2013

A police interview with Jimmy Savile that was conducted on October 1, 2009 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital has been released to the public for the first time.

The interview was in connection of the former broadcaster’s alleged sexual abuse involving several young girls.

In the interview, he insisted that girls have made the allegations to make quick buck. He also said that with his fame, he did not have to assault women.

"(In) my business there's women looking for a few quid, we always get something like this coming up for Christmas, because we want a few quid for Christmas right.

"And normally you can brush them away like midges and it's not much of a price to pay for the lifestyle."

"When you're doing Top Of The Pops and Radio 1, what you don't do is assault women, they assault you, that's for sure," he said.

"And you don't have to, because you've got plenty of girls about, and all that, so dealing with something like this, is out of the question and totally wrong, full stop."

In total about 450 people came forward attributing Savile with allegations of sexual abuse, many of the victims being under the age of consent at the time. Due to massive amount of victims and the resulting media storm, the former broadcaster has been described as one of Britain’s most prolific paedophiles.
