Samantha Brown was just 11 years old when then celebrity DJ Jimmy Savile started sexually assaulting her in a back room of her own church as she prepared the collection plates for mass. While daring to be nearly in plain sight of the congregation and the priest, Savile would cover her mouth and do whatever he wanted with her. This happened at least 20 times throughout her youth. Same place, same time. Samantha often wondered at all the turned heads who never bothered to notice “WHY CAN’T YOU SEE ME?” she thought. Samantha is one of hundreds of children and others that Savile ruthlessly abused. Why couldn’t anyone see them, help them or stop him — for decades?  Today we analyze this case of a serial pedophile and sexual abuser who hid in plain sight using the framework of a new Netflix documentary "Jimmy Savile - A British Horror Story".
