The inquiry, termed Operation Hibiscus, found no evidence of misconduct by officers, but also concluded that opportunities had been missed to prosecute both Savile and Peter Jaconelli, a former mayor of Scarborough who died in 1999, for child sex abuse. The report stated that 32 allegations had been made against Jaconelli, and five against Savile. The former mayor of Scarborough Peter Jaconelli, who would be facing allegations of child sex abuse if he was still alive, was charged with indecent assault in the 1970s, prosecutors have revealed.

Operation Hibiscus: Investigation into allegations of historic sexual abuse by the late Scarborough mayor Peter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile
North Yorkshire Police can today [Thursday 18 December 2014] confirm the findings of an investigation into allegations of historic sexual abuse made against the late Scarborough mayor Peter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile.
Operation Hibiscus began on 14 February 2014. It was instigated following the broadcast of the regional TV news programme Inside Out, which prompted 35 people to come forward with reports of historic sexual abuse by Jaconelli and Savile.
32 of the cases related to Jaconelli for reported offences that occurred between1958 and 1998, and five to Savile that occurred between 1979 and 1988.
Each individual case was investigated by a team of experienced detectives. The victims have been directed to, and offered the support from, specialist victim support agencies.
The investigations have now come to a conclusion.
Sufficient evidence has been uncovered to suggest that, had they been alive today, files would have been submitted for consideration by the Crown Prosecution Service regarding potential criminal charges against Peter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile, relating to young people.
However, it should be noted that it has not been possible to pursue those lines of enquiry which would have involved interviews with the individuals concerned, during which they may have disputed the allegations against them.
The reported offences linked to Jaconelli ranged from indecent assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, gross indecency and rape.
For Savile, the reported offences ranged from sexual assault (or indecent assault under current law) to rape.
The investigation team has contacted the victims to explain the findings of the inquiry, and to ensure that they have continued access to all available support as victims of sexual abuse.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy, of North Yorkshire Police, said: 'The findings of Operation Hibiscus clearly suggest that there would have been sufficient evidence from 35 individual victims for the Crown Prosecution Service to consider criminal charges against Peter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile, had they been alive today.
'The available information indicates that, historically, the police missed opportunities to look into allegations against these men whilst they were still alive.
'Today, North Yorkshire Police apologises to the victims who made the brave decision to come forward during the past 18 months.'
ACC Kennedy added: 'It is important that the victims have been able to make their allegations heard, and that their cases have been comprehensively examined by the police, regardless of the passage of time.
'It is a matter of great regret that, from the outset of the investigation, there was no prospect of true justice being achieved as the suspects are deceased.
'However, I hope the victims have gained a measure of closure from knowing that matters have now been investigated as fully as possible by North Yorkshire Police.
'It is never too late to report information to the police and seek help and support. Nobody should suffer in silence.'
Julia Mulligan, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, said,
'I very much welcome the fact that victims have come forward to North Yorkshire Police. On their and the public's behalf, I have met with Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy to check that they have been taken seriously and their reports investigated fully. Savile and Jaconelli may be dead, but their victims have been living with the consequences of this abuse for many years. In this respect, in October new services for victims of sexual abuse came on stream. I have therefore also asked that the police ensure people are able to receive this specialist support should they so wish.
'It is also clear that historically, North Yorkshire Police failed these victims. Whilst it is not possible to turn back the clock, I am confident that under the leadership of Chief Constable Dave Jones, who has come to North Yorkshire from elsewhere, any historical issues will be properly dealt with. Indeed the Chief Constable has referred the force to the IPCC on two separate occasions, one of which was then referred back to the force and the other we await the IPCC's conclusions.
'Looking at North Yorkshire Police now, I am certain that the service has changed and believe this is demonstrated by their actions today. Moreover, in October I commissioned a formal ‘health check' into how North Yorkshire Police currently investigates child sexual abuse and exploitation. This was a comprehensive review, and whilst a number of actions were identified, I am satisfied that the force has been able, for some time now, to respond effectively and immediately to allegations of abuse.
'This is particularly important because it is probable that more victims will come forward, both historical and of course current. It is therefore crucial that the police and specialist support services for victims are both in place, ready and able to respond. Whilst no service is perfect, I do feel able to reassure the public that North Yorkshire Police is today in a strong position to act as is needed and expected.'

Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) voluntary referral
The IPCC is conducting an independent investigation linked to this issue after North Yorkshire Police made a voluntary referral in April 2014.
It relates to how North Yorkshire Police responded in 2012 to information about alleged offences committed by Jimmy Savile in the 1970s. And how North Yorkshire Police responded to several allegations made recently regarding former Scarborough resident Peter Jaconelli (who died in 1999), approximately nine years after Jaconelli's death.
The latest update from the IPCC is outlined in the following website link http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/news/ipcc-update-statement-investigations-related-jimmy-savile
Other matters were also voluntarily referred to the IPCC, namely whether any information North Yorkshire Police held on record about Savile or his known associates, was properly and comprehensively disclosed to Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) when it and other police forces in England and Wales were asked to do so by HMIC in December 2012. And whether information was properly and comprehensively disclosed in response to a request by the IPCC in May 2013. Download corel draw x4 crack.
Following consideration, the IPCC decided to refer thesematters back to North Yorkshire Police to investigate and rectify.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Kennedy said: 'A comprehensive investigation into these matters has now been completed by the Professional Standards Department.
'It concluded that there was no evidence of misconduct but there was evidence of organisational failure, with a number of lessons to be learned which have now been rectified for the future.
'This included actions such as clearly defining search parameters when checking historical records and ensuring that the appropriate department conducts such searches. Furthermore all operational meetings must be recorded, ensuring a full audit trail of decision-making throughout the process for openness and transparency.
'Whilst there were failings to report somerelevant information to the HMIC and IPCC, there is no evidence to suggest North Yorkshire Police failed in its responsibility to support Operation Yewtree, the national investigationconcerning Savile.'
ACC Kennedy added: 'North Yorkshire Police is continuing to take a very proactive stance on matters to do with historical sexual abuse.

'If we receive any new information to suggest that allegations made in years past were not properly followed up and investigated, we will take all necessary steps to put things right on behalf of victims.
'The public should be able to trust in its police service, and we are doing everything we can to be open and transparent about how we are dealing with historic sexual abuse cases whilst respecting the privacy of victims.'
