Disturbing footage shows Jimmy Savile groping teenage girl while being filmed by Louis Theroux while at a restaurant
BBC film-maker saw vile sex beast rubbing himself against her and grabbing her bottom
JIMMY Savile gropes a teenage girl in front of cameras filming him for a documentary.
BBC film-maker Louis Theroux, 46, saw Savile rubbing himself against her and grabbing her bottom.
The girl was at a restaurant and was next to her mother, who Savile knew.
Theroux and Savile are then seen laughing and joking as they leave the Flying Pizza in Leeds.
The footage is being shown for the first time, 16 years after Theroux tried to expose him in documentary When Louis Met Jimmy.
The BAFTA-winning filmmaker now describes the disturbing moment as “uncomfortable viewing”.
Dad-of-three Theroux admits he developed “something like a friendship” with Savile, who is said to have abused 1,000 victims over six decades.
In Louis Theroux: Savile, which is on tomorrow night on BBC2, victims call the presenter “gullible” for failing to spot that he was a paedophile.
One says: “To me it was obvious.”
Theroux replies: “It’s like quizzes, it’s only obvious if you know the answer.”
Theroux did report Savile in 2001 after hearing an allegation he had slept with a 15-year-old girl. But a BBC producer chose not to report it to police.
