I don't think of Savile primarily as a sex offender, disgusting though he is said to have been. I think of him as an ugly dead philistine hand placed on popular culture deliberately by BBC and other suits, and tamely slobbered over for half a century by the pathetic swindled millions of my compatriots. That's who he really was.
There were a lot of teenage girls running wild in the sixties, and people in the music business ready to succumb to temptation, or anyway poontang on a plate... some of the names you mention were in that category, not nonces as such.
