Police have received complaints from 589 people in underage sexual abuse
 related to BBC's top presenter Jimmy Savile and others. 450 
complainants claim they were sexually assaulted by the late presenter. 
He's a suspect in 31 allegations of rape in seven different areas of the
 country. 
A police report of investigation in Jimmy's pedophile scandal during his
 career in showbiz over several decades will be released in the New 
Year. Commander Peter Spindler from Scotland Yard said, "These levels of
 reporting of sexual abuse against a single individual are unprecedented
 in the U.K." 
"Our officers will continue to investigate allegations made against 
those who potentially can be brought to justice. So far the Operation 
Yewtree team have detained seven suspects and assisted in the arrest of 
three others elsewhere in the country. More arrests nationally will be 
forthcoming." 
"Once again I want to pay tribute to those who have spoken out and 
bravely shared their experiences of sexual assault," he added. "As a 
result of their collective efforts we have a great opportunity to learn 
from the past, develop our understanding of sexual exploitation and 
improve our safeguarding procedures." 
"Our response should send a clear warning to anyone today now in a 
position of power and influence who abuse their status to sexually 
exploit children and young people - victims will be listened to and 
robust action taken." 
Savile is believed to have abused young girls in BBC's dressing room and
 in hospitals where he did charity works. Among those arrested in the 
investigation are publicist Max Clifford, singer Gary Glitter, comedian 
Freddie Starr and DJ Dave Lee Travis. 
Savile died in 2011 at the age of 84. His scandal prompted George 
Entwistle's resignation as BBC's Director General and raised question to
 Mark Thompson, now a chief executive of New York Times, on whether he 
knew about the abuse when he held the position as Director General in 
BBC.
