So a number of 1960s 'celebrities' are so worried they will become embroiled in the Jimmy Savile scandal, they have employed the services of the publicist Max Clifford.
What in goodness name is a PUBLICIST going to achieve for them?
If they DIDN'T abuse children, they have nothing to worry about.
If they DID abuse them, they deserve all they get. They'd be better off getting a good lawyer rather than a grubby publicist.
And the excuse about being caught up in the 'hedonistic atmosphere of the times' doesn't remotely hold water. Child abuse was as much a crime then as it is now.
