The names of 42 dead children were used by undercover officers to create fake identities but their families have not been told because of the risk to police, a report said today. An 80-year-old man has been arrested over sex crime allegations linked to disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile. The pensioner was held on suspicion of sexual offences in south London and has been taken into custody, Scotland Yard said. He is the 14th person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree, the investigation prompted by abuse claims made against late DJ Savile.
