John Peel, Jimmy Savile's Colleague, 'Got 15-Year-Old Schoolgirl Pregnant'

Woman Claims John Peel Got Her Pregnant When She Was 15

DJ John Peel reportedly got a 15-year-old schoolgirl pregnant in the summer of 1969.

Following revelations that Jimmy Savile allegedly raped and molested young teenage girls, a woman has now claimed Peel - who was a colleague of Savile at the BBC - had a three-month affair with her when she was 15.

The paper reports Peel had unprotected sex with the teenager and that they split up when her mother found out about the relationship.

Nevin was then forced to have an abortion after discovering she had become pregnant with the 30-year-old BBC radio host's child.

Meanwhile, it has now been revealed Savile may have abused as many as 25 victims over a 40-year period on a "national scale", according to investigating police.

The number of claims about his alleged abuse of children in his BBC dressing room, at hospitals and schools continues to rise and involves teenage girls as young as 13. Calls have now been made for the BBC to review its guidelines on child protection.

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. (credit:PA)
