- He was the very definition of a predator hiding in plain sight. For decades, Jimmy Savile was one of the UK's most influential celebrities. But following his death in 2011, he was found to have sexually abused hundreds of children and women, while at the height of his fame. His shocking crimes are now being dramatised in the new BBC series The Reckoning - which also tells the stories of four of his victims, including Kevin Cook. Kevin was just nine-years-old when Savile lured him into his dressing room, and with another man, abused him. He’ll be sharing his shocking story, and telling us about the challenge of taking part in the new series.

Immense respect for him and everyone who has spoken up.
Poor man - very well done Kevin for speaking about the horror you endured
Did he get his badge ?
@@mogadon7 Are you serious ?
@guiltseeker come on he was many things but he wasn't a thief
My heart breaks for Kevin, he looked near to tears in this video. So brave of him to speak out and share his story
I'm so sorry for Kevin's suffering it's so awful. I wish him peace and blessings. What a brave, great man, respect to him for sharing his story and all victims of the demon.
A massive credit to Kevin well done chap.
For being abused?
@@redmanmr2 definitely not ,for him opening up about what happened.
@@redmanmr2no, for speaking up about it and being so brave to do so
It’s so brave to speak up 🙏 it’s obvious that there were far more involved , to want to keep this secret and protect Jimmy . He should sue the BBC !
Kevin, you were a child and you did nothing wrong. You are a brave man who has helped many others by talking about your horrific experience. Wishing you and family peace and happiness.
Jimmy is inocent
He wernt innocent at all all
@@user-pl3jx8iy6q Did Jimmy pay you?
I grew up in care in the late 80s and the abuse we endured was horrific,disgusting how people that have power think they can do what they want..
Thank you for highlighting the disgusting behavour i hope today this wouldnt hapen but we all know it will trajic
A lesson for all of us ( parents) to NEVER let our kids go with a stranger or a family member on their own !
Family member includes parents. You can't trust people 100 percent, if you can sleep in the same house as someone you can trust them mostly.
Privacy is how people get away with Anything, being popular is bad
No point been over the top. I’d often be alone with family friends as a bairn and nothing ever happened to me. Never allowing them to be alone with a family member or friend is too extreme
@@cultfiction3865 if you can sleep in the same house loads, you can mostly trust them
Deffo agree! We can't just go our lives not trying to trust any family members. You'd just be keeping your kids isolated basically.@@cultfiction3865
From abusing dead corpses in morgues to young living boys! Henious!
I’m glad this morning has decided to open up comments. It’s the right thing to do let the public say their piece. 👏
❤ they tend to do so ON and Off...best they keep them on for sure.
They will when it's not one of their own.
Thank you to this brave man for coming forward. I still haven't come forward about my experience with my step Uncle and although triggering it has made me feel brave enough to speak up 30 years later. Sometimes when you are a child you don't understand, and don't even know until much later in life. Thank you❤❤
im so sorry for what you've been through you deserved way better!
@@Dylanrawlinson thank you so much♥️
I agree.
I feel for you,i was 1st abused at 5 until i was 10 by my grandad ,uncle , and dad..was put in care age of 10 thinking id be safe..that experience was even worse,the care system them days was horrific,i suffer with ptsd,social anxiety..
@@clare7863 I'm so sorry to hear that, that is terrible, my heart goes out to you it really does.
Yes, I too have PTSD, how are you now? How do you cope?
Thank you Kevin for sharing your story. This must be unimaginably difficult for you. Hopefully yours and others stories will stop things like this from ever happening again ❤
We can only hope🙏💕🇦🇺
Sad thing is nothing can be done now ,he can't be made accountable 😢😢
No he can't but those that covered up the abuse .. those that KNEW about him abusing kids and did NOTHING .. can be. There needs to be some type of National Inquiry for what happened with that monster. Those that turned a blind eye NEED to be called to question.
I was a little girl in he '70s and remember seeing him on the tv. I'm not sure "Jim will fix it" was even showed here on New Zealand tv but I remember seeing him (it could have been on the News for his fundraising). Back then I thought he oozed sleeze. How the public couldn't see it is beyond me.
It’s heartbreaking when the genuine innocence of children is abused by these monsters . Brave man for speaking out 👏
Horrendous !!! I feel so sick to the core of my stomach. Well Done Kevin for coming forward you are a very brave man and for sure the public are all behind you. Godbless you ❤
People who knew and did nothing should be named and shamed !!!!!
I grew up in the Jim'll fix it era and every kid wanted to be on the show and to get a silver badge was the ultimate prize.The fact that he was known to be an abuser but got away with it and never brought to account for his actions is just awfull.I was young and obviously never knew a girl had taken her life after being abused by him and if believed would have meant so many would never have been abused by the monster.He never had a court case or saw a prison.I hope that his victims who are so inspiring find peace.
The BBC needs to be held accountable! My God, they couldn't be forthright with Huw Edwards in 23. At some point the organization needs to be investigated.
@@marciasullivan6451 absolutely they had way too many people knowing there was a problem with him and women knew not to be alone with him yet he was basicly protected.All his victims should file a lawsuit against the BBC but we unfortunately know who will pay the lawsuit and that will be the licence payer.Maybe the so called celebrities who work for the BBC should be given a paycut instead othe licence fee payer be forced to pay as the licence is expensive as it is.
I saw him on tellie a couple of times seeing /hearing listening to his strange remarks were enough for me to turn to another channel quickly 😮
i watched the first episode and if that was anywhere near the truth calling him a monster is a good description
More popular 70s than 80s
Its shocking just how many high up people in society are abuseing children some people have no conscience
It's rife in the tory party and always has been but they are protected
@@jasonbarron3047not just Tory’s but OK
What a great man to come on here and share this.
He shows great composure for such a horrible ordeal he endured.
Horrifying, I am in tears watching this!
Such a strong gentleman ❤
Respect to this man. I hope this helps him get closure. If there are any others involved hopefully they will be held accountable.
Just a thought, Brave Man you are. Incomprehensible to take such horrible advantage of any child. If this can help any parent, God Bless You!!
He's such a brave man for speaking up. I'm so sorry Kevin! 😢 I'll be praying for you and other victims! 🙏 Much love to you all! ❤❤
I can't believe what happened to this boy at such a young age, and in the same building! God bless him, it takes so much courage. Many are unable to cope with such abuse and turn to drugs or end up taking their lives. I am glad he is okay now.
I don't believe that happened
they chose the 2 best presenters to interview him, they are both genuine
Well done on getting your story out. It will empower many other people to do the same.
I got my mum to apply to Jim'll fix it when I was younger. Didn't hear back. Was always gutted now learnt its a blessing in disguise :( x
I did the exact same thing several times but never was invited on. Which is regrettable since if I’d gone on I could have filed for compensation
I also got my mum to apply! I wanted to meet Tom Baker has the doctor. I was also disappointed never hearing back. Not now though.
@@cultfiction3865 would've anyone believed you like the rest?...l think not
I feel so bad for him :( so brave of him to share his story I know it will help others.
What should have been a wonderful treat for a nine year old boy, became a horror story. You are a brave man Kevin. Words cannot express the respect I have for you.
Big congratulations to Kevin for being brave,and honest, thats hope that others come forward, please dont suffer in silence...
I wouldn't say he was "happy" to recount, but willing, certainly.
Totally agree. But I don’t think it was meant maliciously rather poor word choice as in the beginning the presenter asked if he was ok
@@dillionoshea7535 I didn't get malicious vibes either though I do feel it's wise to choose words carefully in such sensitive situations. In the host's defence he does this later in the interview.
Absolutely vile anybody who could abuse a child are beyond evil
Amazing guy to help and tell his story. Peace to you Kevin. You’re amazing.
Can’t imagine what this does to a child. 😢 the trauma they leave is forever. How do we have such different planet, one who worships children and other that abuses 😢😢
Much love to Kevin and other victims ❤
What a brave man to come forward with this dreadful experience, he will help so many others by showing this strength.
This is a big part of the reason why my grandchildren have never been allowed to attend a sleepover at someone else’s home or to even visit another person’s home even for a birthday without one of us.
You're absolutely right, I don't understand how people allow their children on sleepovers.
It's just so careless and naive......
Huge strength to sit there and tell your story. So sorry you had to go through this, but thank you for raising awareness and helping other people. Sending all my love ❤
This must have been horrifying for him as a 9 year old and I can't even imagine what he went through in his young mind in the immediate months and years after. He's obviously and clearly still struggling with it now, decades later. As others have commented, it really is heartbreaking.
What a beautiful humble man who has suffered such unspeakable horrors as a young child and will probably never truly get over it but is bravely speaking out now to show evil will never fully crush him, God bless you Kevin
He is one forgiving man.
What a strong man. What a brave man.
He deserves the world.
the police must find that 2nd scumbag
Who was the other man? Needs to be exposed
You spelled lynched wrong
Cliff "Kitty" R&*#£^d?
I'm so sorry 😔 you are utterly brave and strong. Praying for you and your family 🙏💓
That strong man, he is such a strong man
Thank you Kevin for sharing.😊
What a beautiful bloke. You cannot let your kids out of your sight guys.
I think the drama was a good thing. It was really well done and the acting is superb. The reason I think it is a good idea is that no matter how many times you hear the horrific stories it can be hard to imagine it (why would you want to eh?) but seeing it on screen in The Reckoning really brought it to life and made the pit of your stomach churn and that's always a good thing because you really feel the impact. These things should never be forgotten or swept under the carpet because history forgotten is history repeated!
I hope this man and all the other victims can find as much peace as they can, if anyone deserves things like a lottery win it's this man and other victims!
It's HUGES for a man to speak up. It's awful for ANYONE. But traditionally, boys and men are less likely to speak out. Bless him. A hero 🙏💙
I have so much admiration for this brave man for speaking out.
Absolutely heartbreaking. So sorry for what has happened to you. You should be immensely proud of how you’ve coped with this event and using it to help others. So strong
Good on him for speaking up. 🙏
Just watched it, absolutely shocked what that vile things got away with, heart felt thoughts go out to his victims, youse are very strong individuals keep going ❤
Sending you a hug, Kevin. You didn't deserve that.
Immense respect for all the victims and those who’ve come forward. After watching the docudrama I’m shocked about how he could go on with his crimes unnoticed for so long the worst monster ever in history feel so sad for the victims the people who knew what he did are as guilty as he is
Kevin is such a strong man
It's who JS knew that made him untouchable. All covering for each other.
Also the era, children are wrong, adults are right
Margaret Thatcher too
It's incredible how many so called good friends distance themselves from you when they find out you were abused as a child. People are so fickle. Fairweather friends are everywhere. Trust no one. Protect your heart. Don't share because no one cares. 💔
Get professional support, I did. Most people don't understand the impact on a child. It's lifelong.
@@dodibenabba525 I've had therapy. I'm good. I cope. It's just so sad to finally open up to people you thought cared about you for them to find it too weird and distance themselves from you. Tables turned I would have been there for my friend. People are scared of what they can't comprehend I guess. Thanks mate. Hope you're ok.
@Themis33 yeah you keep keeping on don't you? I always wonder sometimes what my life would have been like without said experience.
thank you Kevin for speaking up i'm sure you are making a difference.
Hope you are ok now Kevin. You are very brave
I cried at that point in the series, absolutely horrific 😢
Good man. I hope all living victims could come out about this.
Well done for sharing
The Reckoning gave me the creeps. The morgue scene I felt physically sick 🤯
Have not seen it yet. Will record it. At 9pm
@@markdaly1648 it's all on BBC I player to watch in full matey
Don't watch "David Fuller : Monster in the Morgue", then. He was the same, hiding in plain sight for decades acting like a normal family bloke when he wasn't murdering or abusing people.
Nothing has changed..... Youd be shocked at the list of celebs who have the same appetite..... And politicians.
Very brave of him to speak up x
Thank you for sharing your story
It's a sad day when J.S. has to stop a person going to far.
Scumbag probably only stopped the other guy in case he left physical evidence (marks) on the poor lad.
Thank you Kevin for being so brave
😢 Where was the Cub leader? Kevin was with a group! This is horrific.... 😢 bless your heart Kevin.❤
Probably in on it you'll be surprised
I am so proud of you speaking out…you are truly helping others in your ability to relive the sequence of events to see how these predators operate in the shadows..brave brave man…sending you all my love ❤
What a lovely Brave man , greatest respect to him .
Thank you for sharing your story Kevin, your a survivor ❤
Such a brave man much love and respect
I would hardly think "Happy to share your story" is appropriate. Probably better to say, "...is prepared to share his story....".
So sorry for all of Jimmy's victims, I hope they can find some kind of closure.
So many people knew what that predator jimmy was up too, it was all a big cover up, disgusting!
What a brave little boy and brave man he is. My heart goes out to him, I was abused as a 3 year girl by a female 15 years old. I am still dealing with this and Kevins story has bought it all back to me I don't think you ever get over something so horrfic you carry that badge forever.
1:58 "yeah, let's show a picture of him while a harrowing account of his abuse is read out"
What a strong man to be able to tell his story. Credit to himself!
A brave man, well done Kevin, talk about this will have been so hard for him, if it helps someone else going through the same thing, then some good will come from him sharing such a painful experience, blessings to you Kevin
I had to pause this and go make some tea. "Earn your badge" is just sickening. This poor bloke
Who knew? There must have been people?? We want them named and shamed, the public feel there is a cover up because of how far this goes!!
Bless you Kevin. Stay strong. Time is a great healer
I hope this man doesnt think its embarrasing or anything, what hes went through would break anyone and hes stronger than most people can even grasp, and hope they never have to understand that pain.
Such a nice kind man. My heart goes out to him and I hope he can move on in his life.
Wow!!!! That's shocking!!!!!! My god!!! Evil man
If only they caught that monster earlier.
The police knew about it at the time but were ordered not to pursue it.
@@winstonsmith3690 they knew but he had so much power they couldn’t do much
Bless him
Imagine being sexually and physically abused for over six years.
Imagine having to live with that for the rest of your life.
Imagine failed relationships and no self esteem.
Imagine the feeling of guilt, although it's not your fault.
Imagine having to give evidence in court, and not being able to tell the full story to The Police of the court, as the hurt and embarrassment is too much to handle.
Then imagine your life after the trial. He gets 4 years and you get a life sentence.
Well I have to deal with it every day of my life. I don't have to imagine.
My life has been ruined.
Huge respect for Kevin, brave man.
I prefer that woman to false Holly
Couldn't agree more!!
Kevin is a great spokes man and it makes us all more aware of these preditors on young children thank you kevin what a eye opener to all of us god bless you kevin😢😮
Can’t believe that the BBC got away with it tbh
God bless you, you are a survivor.
Poor poor bloke 😢
😂
