Jimmy Savile victim: Review 'falls short'

A woman who was sexually assaulted by Jimmy Savile on BBC premises says the long-awaited Dame Janet Smith review "falls short" of what was needed.

The woman, whose anonymity we are protecting, gave evidence to the review that she was attacked by Savile in a Top of the Pops dressing room when she was 15 in the early 1970s.

She has told how she met the BBC's director general Lord Hall at the BBC ahead of the report's publication and that he personally apologised for what had happened.
