'Normally you can brush them away like midges'
The entertainer, who has since been exposed as one of the country’s worst ever paedophiles, said that girls who made allegations against him were simply ‘looking for a few quid’ and he brushes such women away ‘like midges.’
He arrogantly told officers that he had no need he had ‘no need to chase girls – I’ve thousands of them on Top of the Pops, thousands on Radio One.’
His comments have been revealed following a Freedom of Information request to see a transcript of his last police interviews in 2009, when he was questioned by Surrey officers over claims that he had abused girls at the Duncroft Children’s home in Berkshire in the 1970s.
Savile, who died aged 84 in October 2011 - a year before the allegations were broadcast in an ITV documentary, said in the interview that he’d ‘never done anything wrong.’
On being asked to confirm his date of birth at the beginning of questioning, he said: ‘31.10.26, that makes me 83 and proud that in 83-years I’ve never, ever done anything wrong.’
He was asked about touching a young girl ‘sexually’ over her clothes at Duncroft Children's home in Staines in the 1970s, and forcing her to give him oral sex.
One officer put it to him that a victim had said ‘when Jimmy Savile visited, he touched her over her clothes sexually’, to which the presenter replied: ‘Out of the question’.
Savile then ‘asked her to comb his hair then massage him’, the officer said.
He answered: ‘Not true, none of it.’
‘Then massage his groin area, and give him oral sex,’ the detective said.
‘Oh! Out of the question,’ replied Savile.
‘I've got no need to chase girls – I’ve thousands of them on Top of the Pops, thousands on Radio One’
The interview was held at Savile’s office at Stoke Mandeville hospital on 1 October 2009. Prosecutors subsequently decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him.
The late DJ – who is believed to have abused hundreds of victims over decades – said the allegations only surfaced because his accusers were after money.
‘My business there's women looking for a few quid, we always get something like this coming up for Christmas, because we want a few quid for Christmas right,’ he told police.
‘And normally you can brush them away like midges and it's not much of a price to pay for the lifestyle.’
He also said he had ‘no need to chase girls,’ adding: ‘I've thousands of them on Top of the Pops, thousands on Radio One.’
‘No need to take liberties with them, out of the question and anyway it's not my nature.’
The star told police: ‘When you're doing Top of the Pops and Radio One, what you don't do, is assault women, they assault you, that's for sure, and you don't have to, because you've got plenty of girls about, and all that, so dealing with something like this, is out of the question and totally wrong, full stop.’
