Former optician tells Louis Theroux how TV presenter groped her

A former optician has told how Jimmy Savile groped her breasts then pulled down his tracksuit bottoms in a new Louis Theroux BBC documentary aired on Sunday night.

Victim ‘Susie’ said she was just 21 when the late TV and radio presenter bought a new pair of his large, trademark plastic glasses from the practice she worked in Leeds in the 1970s.

She said: ‘I took the glasses out of the box, and I must have gone fairly near him, obviously to put the specs on, and that’s when he grabbed my boobs, and he actually stuck his tongue in my mouth. And then as I stood back, he dropped his tracksuit bottoms and said “how’s about that then?”’
