Video: Jimmy Savile 'boasted of under-age sex' during BBC meeting Richard Pearson was a 21-year-old working at Radio 1 and meeting with a senior producer in BBC Broadcasting House's restaurant when he says Jimmy Savile joined them and claimed "not particularly quietly" that he'd just "had" three underage girls in his trailer. And when he said 'had' he didn't mean they'd come to criticised his curtains, he meant he'd had sex with them. Mr Pearson said. He went onto claim that Savile openly said having sex with the girls "kept him young."
