Who is Mark Williams-Thomas, Police officer who exposed Jimmy Savile?

The presenter who allegedly paid a teenager for sexual images must be identified by the BBC, police have said who exposed BBC star pedophile Jimmy Savile.

The presenter, who was reported to have given the teenager more than £35,000 for sexual photos, has been suspended by the BBC, with the broadcaster already calling Met Police investigators.

Former Surrey police detective Mark Williams-Thomas, who exposed Savile as a paedo, said the public needs to know who the presenter is. He told the Mirror: “It’s the same failed process as Savile, once again. The BBC has already had a month to investigate this; They should have already concluded their investigation and named the individual in question. It’s about openness and transparency, but the BBC has a history of conducting fatally flawed investigations.”

Williams-Thomas is an English investigative journalist who also advocates for victims of sexual assault and was a former police officer. He is a frequent contributor to This Morning, Channel 4 News, Exposure on ITV and the crime dramas The Investigator: A British Crime Story on ITV and Netflix.

Williams-Thomas is best known as a child protection expert for revealing that Jimmy Savile was a child molester in The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, a television documentary he presented in 2012 as part of the Exposure series. The documentary won numerous awards and sparked the police investigation of Operation Yewtree. In addition, he has investigated a number of other notable cases, including the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Williams-Thomas released two additional Exposure documentaries, Exposure: Predators Abroad and Exposure: Inside the Diplomatic Bag, following the popularity of the Jimmy Savile documentary. His undercover operations in Cambodia resulted in the capture of a person suspected of providing sex to minors in 2013 and the rescue of two boys, ages 13 and 14.
