A 62-year-old woman has come forward alleging Jimmy Savile repeatedly had sex with her when she was only 15.
The woman claims to have met the BBC DJ at a Manchester disco in 1966 and he invited her to his flat in Higher Broughton, Salford, where they regularly met and had sex.
The victim, from Wythenshawe, south Manchester, said on one occasion Savile was disappointed he had changed out of her school uniform. By the time she turned 18 he wanted nothing more to do with her.
Jimmy Savile poses as a doctor for the cameras. There are now reports he used his charity work in hospital to find young patients to abuse.
The mother of two wants Savile, who died last year aged 84, to be stripped of his knighthood.
She said: "To hear him still described as Sir Jimmy Savile and still celebrated for his charity work is a slap in the face to those of us he used.
"I was 15 when we started, but 15 in 1966 was probably like nine today. I had a flat chest and was only starting puberty.
"By the time I turned 18 and was more like a women, he lost interest and denied even knowing me."
Jimmy Savile's headstone has been removed and carted away to be used as landfill amidst the claims
She is one of a growing number of victims, now around 60 in total, to have come forward and whose case is being investigated by police.
Police believe the veteran DJ, TV presenter and charity campaigner may have been abusing victims for decades.
The BBC and other bodies could be sued by victims if it can be shown they were negligent in allowing Savile to prey on his young victims.
Jimmy Savile did a lot of charity work at Broadmoor. Here he is introducing boxing legend, Frank Bruno, to notorious serial-killer, Peter Sutcliffe in 1991
The revelations about Savile's private life were made in an ITV documentary a fortnight ago.
Solicitor Caroline Chandler, who is representing the claimant from Wythenshawe, said: "Many people are now coming forward in the North West to make complaints. Jimmy Savile, who used to live and work in Manchester, was idolised by many young girls.
"The growing number of claims is alarming and victims who suffered such abuse should report their abuse to the police in an effort to at least tell someone in authority what has been going on, even though their alleged abuser is no longer alive."
Police are probing as many as 340 lines of inquiry since a documentary aired allegations against the presenter
Former High Court judge Dame Janet Smith will lead the BBC's internal inquiry into the sex abuse claims.
There is also a Department of Health investigation into Savile's conduct during his charity work at three hospitals - Stoke Mandeville, Broadmoor and Leeds General Infirmary.

Labour has called for an independent inquiry as the fall-out from the Savile revelations continues.
BBC director general George Entwistle and former corporation stalwart Esther Rantzen have become involved as questions are asked about who knew of the rumours about Savile, what and when they heard about them, and whether enough was done to stop him.

Sir Jimmy Savile Auction
A sale of the late Sir Jimmy Savile's possessions and mementoes has got under way with one of the late DJ's Highland suits going for £280. The tweed jacket and kilt was the first of 549 lots to go under the hammer in Sir Jimmy's home city of Leeds today. The auction, which is expected to take at least eight hours, will include gold suits, Cuban cigars and the broadcaster's beloved Rolls-Royce. The lots include thousands of items of memorabilia owned by Sir Jimmy, which are being sold to raise money for his charitable trust. His trademark tracksuits and jewellery, including a £12,000 gold and diamond-encrusted Rolex watch, gold identity bracelet and rings, are all on offer along with the first ever chair from his Jim'll Fix It TV show. The sale kicked off at Savile Hall, at the Royal Armouries, with around 300 people packing the room and many more bidders taking part over the phone and via internet. Lot one - the Highland suit - was bought by a local man on the front row. As the auction continued, some items started to soar above their estimates. A Scottish shepherd's crook estimated to sell for between £30 and £60 went for £380. A tireless charity worker, Sir Jimmy is thought to have raised more than £40 million for good causes in his lifetime. He died just before his 85th birthday last year and requested his belongings be sold for charity after his death.

Five leading women's rights organisations have demanded the BBC investigate "institutional sexism" in the wake of allegations that presenter Jimmy Savile sexually abused underage girls...
Former High Court judge Dame Janet Smith and ex-Sky News executive Nick Pollard are to lead the BBC's independent reviews stemming from the Jimmy Savile...
What started as a sideline interest in an eccentric who may or may not have been featured on the highly distinguished Newsnight programme has morphed into a debate as to whether the new chap in charge can hack it - and that's before his wife's had time to sneak the slippers under his shiny new desk.
If HP could spell Wythenshawe correctly that would be something, it isn't Wnythenshawe as they have put!
There can't be too many people who would have escaped from JSs clutches, as every day there are more and more people saying he abused them. I can't believe he and Frank Bruno were introduced to Peter Sutcliffe and just look at the sickly smile on his face. That pictures makes me sick after all we know about JS now let alone what we know that Peter Sutcliffe did.
DaisyMay123: If HP could spell Wythenshawe correctly that would be something,
I find the picture of Frank Bruno shaking hands with Peter Sutcliffe almost as abhorrent as JS himself. Although there are plenty on here who criticise some of the alleged victims and believe they are jumping on the band waggon and only after a windfall, I can understand their reticence in coming forward. We should not forget that in days gone by, policemen, vicars, priests, schoolteachers, etc were never wrong and bodies such as the military, police, BBC, etc would always close ranks to protect one of their own. Hence Esther Rantzen keeping quiet. Anyway, bearing in mind JS's headstone has been used for landfill, I still think a public convenience should be built on his grave, thus allowing the aggrieved to vent their feelings.

Regardless of Savile's involvement, the charities and hospitals he was involved with did - and continue to do - important work. Stoke Mandeville has one of the largest spinal injuries units in the world. What do you imagine that draining the coffers of this hospital and whichever other entities Savile brought funding to will achieve, other than hurting people in desperate need of medical treatment?

There is talk of the BBC being sued.for knowing and not saying anything or acting on it. Thus condoning his actions. Why would that be then?
I see no difference with hospital staff that have stated they knew what he was doing and dreaded his visits. In my eyes they are as guilty as him, if what they said is true.
Anybody that knows these kind of gross acts are going on and does nothing about it, should be legally dealt with.
It should not be possible to pick and choose.
As for what Saville did raising money for charities seems quite clearly now, in most peoples eyes, to be irrelevant.

Can someone please explain to me how Sutcliff has this priviledge not to meet the two that are there because no self erspecting person would be there with what I thought was a monster...can someone please remind me what tis Suttcliff did? and yet we have two who are in the limelight with him...I find this shocking!!!
JayJay1946: Can someone please explain to me how Sutcliff has this
That's British justice for you, makes me bloody sick. Just think if this had all come to light while Savile was alive - we could have paid for this multi-millionaire to be be kept in luxury for the rest of his life with a constant stream of his dodgy friends campaigning for his release.
workingmynutsofftopaytax: That's British justice for you, makes me bloody sick. Just
@workingmynutsofftopaytax..).lov your name) I will join the millions in this country who say there is NO Justice you are so right...time for change is coming...its on our doorstep...start watching Davicd Icke I was among the ones who didn't give him credit but my God this man IS credible....he spoke of this years ago....sadly we took no notice...but its not too late....best wishes...

whilst in no way condoning any sexual deviancy on behalf of messrs saville and co. i think its telling when they say the womanss solicitors say.. Why has she got solicitors? She had fifty years to press a claim and get more now his estate is disapated who is she going to get it from the innocent people or charities that he left money to? This is just shameless ambulance chasing and the solicitors are no better than Mr Saville and Co.

I sue, Scandinavia?
Seriously, this whole thing is getting silly. People are jumping
on the bandwagon hoping for a pay out, I hope that they get
nothing. Without the accused being able to defend himself how
on earth can a verdict be reached!
People like Esther Rantzen must be hanging their heads in shame for
not voicing their concerns.
As for this woman, no doubt the papers will pay her a tidy sum for
her account of what happened, funny how she waited for the accused
to be dead!!

Shalom mrs w waugh, yes would have been a right disgrace and humiliation, and the rest. Strip his Knighthood away and let him loose in public. I know that is not the way but he was sick. I just cannot understand why everyone coming forward now

One year of activity that Savile should have refused due to it's legality, then a further two years of what could be defined as 'legal' activity with what appears to be a more than willing participant.
Now hand in hand with her solicitor..hmmmm...fairly obvious I think.
