Ex-detective who exposed Jimmy Savile working to bring down 'untouchable' sex offender

Mark Williams-Thomas has claimed that he has a similar bombshell about another high-profile person

The former police detective who exposed Jimmy Savile a decade ago says that he is now working on bringing down another “very significant” and “untouchable” sex offender.

Mark Williams-Thomas revealed that former television host and radio personality Savile was a prolific paedophile in his award-winning film in October 2012.

The documentary shook the entertainment industry, with the five women who spoke of suffering sexual abuse at the late DJ's hands followed by many more following its broadcast.

The revelations prompted the Met Police to launch Operation Yewtree, which led to the arrests of 19 people and eventual imprisonment of seven of them.

The Daily Star reports that retired detective and child protection expert Williams-Thomas has claimed that he has a similar bombshell about another high-profile person.

Speaking to the i, he said: “There are still people out there who are untouchable.

“There is one very significant person who I've done everything to try and get prosecuted because he is clearly a child sex offender.

“To date the CPS won't prosecute.The police and I have tried really hard to get there.

“He will die in due course and then the floodgates will open in the same way they did with Savile. That's not right. But justice takes many different forms.

“The truth is no broadcaster would have done a programme about Savile when he was alive - we live in a society where there are some people you can't take on and that's really sad.”

Williams-Thomas did not give any details away about who this "significant person" was.

However he hinted that one way in which these types of cases could be made less risky for prosecutors would be if victims gave up their right to anonymity.

He explained: “I've seen the value of lifting anonymity for victims to come forward. It's one of the reasons the CPS didn't have evidence to prosecute Savile when he was alive.

“The media plays a vital role in getting victims to come forward by publicising names, but they have to consider the impact on the accused because there is no more abhorrent crime than child sex abuse.”

The CPS has been approached for comment.

King Charles III abandons plans to attend UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt on advice of British Prime Minister Liz Truss

A "disappointed" King Charles III has abandoned plans to attend COP27 in Egypt despite being a long-time vocal environmental campaigner.

Vocal environmental campaigner King Charles III will not attend the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Egypt despite being "all lined up to go" - after advice from British Prime Minister Liz Truss.

Britain's constitutional monarchy rules that the sovereign must not intervene in politics, but before ascending the throne the then Prince of Wales was a long-time proponent of environmental issues.

Buckingham Palace told the BBC that after seeking the Prime Minister’s advice on whether the King should attend the Sharm el-Sheikh event next month, it was "with mutual friendship and respect there was agreement that the King would not attend".

Despite attending last year’s conference in Glasgow and delivering a speech, a royal source said the 73-year-old monarch acts on the advice of the government.

“It is no mystery that the King was invited to go there,” the insider said.

“He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending COP.”

A source close to the monarch told The Sunday Times, King Charles would be “personally disappointed” to miss the conference and he was “all lined up to go”.

“The Queen gave an entirely non-political address at Cop last year … it sounds like he is not being given the choice. That is an error of judgment on the part of the government,” the royal insider told the UK publication.
