What possible public interest other than gossip could exist?

In the case of historical allegations a case can be built up by more people coming forward to the police and their testimony being similar. If there are details to the assaults that show a pattern and those details were not public then the prosecution can use that in court. If Saville had been alive when it all came out then that's how they would have gotten him because in the end all these women had similar stories.
