If you read what he actually says, and understand his arguments, then what he says makes perfect sense. They've just been lumped together in a newspaper article to generate a controversial argument.
1. There's a huge moral difference between people being raped and him abusing himself with drugs.
2. The experience of Savile has left the BBC paranoid.
3. Some people in their 50s had sex with rock stars when 14 and do not consider themselves victims (whether they are or not is a different matter)
4. People should not be called 'victims' before the person involved has been charged or the case brought to court.
5. People should be convicted by evidence, not by putting them in the media and waiting for allegations of half-remembered groping to pour in.
6. Raping a child is worse than groping a child which is worse than groping an adult.
7. People are being tarred with the Jimmy Savile brush because they once patted someone's bottom.
