The allegation appears to be a garbled response (either misunderstood, or deliberately misreported) to an element of the Ray Teret case.
Teret had provable connections to Savile, and on one of the wall's of Teret's flat - above his record shop in Sale - were found names and telephone numbers that had since been covered in wallpaper. I believe only two were ever traced to victims willing to appear in Teret's subsequent trial (although there is little doubt that other abused young women were on that list).
The sober reality appears to be that Teret used the wall as a contact list; there were definitely victims listed, but there appears to be no actual proof that all the numbers were connected to abuse - and the idea that there was a list of guilty celebrities appears to be complete fantasy.
Remarkably, there's footage of the actual uncovering of the graffiti - recorded as part of the BBC's excellent documentary series The Detectives. (Of course, being the BBC I'm sure that'll pull some triggers, but any alleged conspiracy would also have had to involve Greater Manchester Police and two proven victims as well.)
To my mind, there's something much more horrific in the quiet reality of this reveal (at around 54:00 onwards) than there is in the grand guignolesque tabloid (mis)reporting, which always - it seems to me - appears to value the naming of Names far more than it values the actual victims of the abuse.
I think there were another two episodes dedicated to the Teret case - well worth tracking down.
Some evidence, at last. Even so, “Denise woz ere 7.9.75” is hardly damning: tree trunks and walls all over the world record as much info.
Also, interesting that Tenet was JS’s chauffeur (and flatmate?). There’s something actionable here, and l’d be interested to see what the police were able to make of it.
