Children as young as eight were abused by Jimmy Savile, a report detailing 50 years of allegations has revealed.
The Met Police and NSPCC outlined offences at 13 hospitals, including Great Ormond Street in London and Wheatfields Hospice in Leeds.
Some 214 crimes were recorded across 28 police force areas, including 34 of rape or penetration, the report said.
The CPS apologised for missing the opportunity to prosecute Savile in 2009, while he was still alive.
Police said the victims' accounts painted a "compelling picture of widespread sexual abuse by a predatory sex offender", and Cdr Peter Spindler, who is leading the investigation, said Savile had "groomed the nation".
And the NSPCC said Savile was one of the most prolific sex offenders in its 129-year history.

With this and Operation Yewtree, I wonder how many old perverts are jumping at every siren right now.
God the extent of this is so fucking disgusting.
My heart breaks for all of the people victimized by this monster.
Could I get in trouble (I'm guessing civil?) if I sent out some letters in a neighborhood warning them that a child molester visit one of the homes frequently? From what I gather, the owner of the home babysits some of her neighbors kids (all little girls under the age of 6). Everything I would write would be true, but there is no proof since everyone in that family lied in favor of the child molester.
