Part of Savile's MO was to cultivate officials who could allow him access to victims, and ensure that they feared him mightily. He used a mix of [edit: charm,] direct physical intimidation and hints that he had kompromat on them. They knew he always had at the very least the ability to ensure that they would suffer indelible guilt by association if he went down. The other part of his MO was to choose victims society holds in contempt: mainly girls. That is how he was able to operate in plain sight for decades. We know this because of the numerous public enquiries into his offending that have taken place since he died.

On the other hand, pizzagate is just some horseshit cooked up on 4chan. The pizzagate/qanon mobs sending death threats to pizza company employees are animated by exactly the same cult-like psychodynamics at work in the heads of TRAs threatening noncompliant women with death.
