The BBC has set up an independent inquiry into the corporation’s culture and practices in the years Savile worked there. “Can it really be the case that no one knew what he was doing? Did some turn a blind eye to criminality? Did some prefer not to follow up their suspicions because of this criminal’s popularity and place in the schedules?” Chris Patten wrote in The Mail on Sunday. On Sunday, the chairman of the BBC Trust said he was committed to finding out the true scale of the scandal to save the broadcaster’s reputation.

One witness told the BBC that she once saw Glitter having sex with a schoolgirl in Savile’s dressing room at the broadcaster’s TV center in the 1970s. The scandal has horrified Britain with revelations that Savile cajoled and coerced vulnerable teens into having sex with him in his car, in his camper van, and even in dingy dressing rooms on BBC premises. In addition, some potential victims who reported abuse by Savile also told police about separate allegations against unidentified men that did not involve the BBC host. Police have said that though the majority of cases it is investigating related to Savile alone, some involved the entertainer and other, unidentified suspects. Glitter was jailed in Britain in 1999 for possessing child pornography, and convicted in 2006 in Vietnam of committing “obscene acts with children” - offenses involving girls aged 10 and 11. Starting with Rock and Roll (Parts One and Two) in 1972 he had 11 consecutive Top Ten singles in three years and was said to own 30 glitter stage suits and 50 pairs of platform shoes. In 2006, the NFL advised its football teams not to use the Glitter version of “Rock and Roll (Part 2)” at games. hits and his look of shiny jumpsuits, silver platform shoes and bouffant wigs, but his music has often been shunned since his abuse convictions. Glitter rose to fame in the 1970s with a string of U.K. It was not immediately clear if Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, and Savile knew each other. Glitter is the first suspect to be arrested in the scandal, which has raised questions about whether the BBC turned a blind eye to the alleged sexual crimes. Most allege abuse by Savile, but some said they were abused by Savile and others.

Hundreds of potential victims have come forward since police began their investigation into sex abuse allegations against Savile, the longtime host of popular shows “Top of the Pops” and “Jim’ll Fix It” who died at age 84 last year. He remains in custody in a London police station, police said. When asked about Glitter, a spokesman said only that the force arrested a man in his 60s early Sunday morning in London on suspicion of sexual offenses in connection with the Savile probe. British police do not generally identify suspects under arrest by name until they are charged.
