Jimmy Savile appears to defend convicted paedophile Gary Glitter

A recording from an interview in 2009 shows Jimmy Savile appearing to defend convicted paedophile Gary Glitter, real name Paul Gadd.

The seems to show that Savile believed Gadd was more victim than predator.

Now Gary, all he did was to take his computer into PC World to get it repaired. They went into the hard drive, saw all these dodgy pictures and told the police and the police then, 'Oh we've got a famous person...Oh my goodness, yeah we'll have them.'

But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that. It were for his own gratification.

But they didn't do anything wrong but they are then demonised. And of course, if you ever said to that copper, what's Gary Glitter done wrong? Well nothing really.
