A growing scandal of decades-old sexual assault allegations against television icon Bill Cosby has shocked many in the United States. Across the Atlantic, Britain has been struggling for more than two years to come to terms with a barrage of similar accusations against leading men in its entertainment world who allegedly used their fame and power to exploit young victims. The soul searching began with revelations that late DJ and television host Jimmy Savile - a cultural fixture once mourned by people from Prince Charles to the Bee Gees - had been assaulting underage girls for over half a century, using charitable work as a cover to get access to victims. Savile died in 2011 and his reputation began to unravel after an ITV documentary about the abuse. Soon the wave of allegations became a tsunami, implicating schools, charities and hospitals where Savile volunteered. (AP Photo/Matthew Fearn, Pool, file)
