Odd that both pedophiles collected false eyes.
Was it symbolic of "turn a blind eye" : society's looking away from their activities with children?
Was it a hint that if eyes are the door to the soul, then false eyes hide a pedophile's true intentions?
Recent revelations of Savile collecting dead friend’s glass eyes and mounting them in rings and/or pendant necklaces also suggests Savile felt eyes had some kind of special symbolic or actual power for him (Revealed: The glass eye Jimmy stole from a corpse and made into a necklace that he wore on final Top of the Pops – where he groped a child, Daily Mail, 27 June 2014)
You’ll notice that there’s very few photos of Savile either genuinely smiling or where he isn’t exposing the maximum amount of white around his eyes. His general “strike a pose” is to reveal as much of the whites of his eyes as possible, cracking either a wide grin or a smug smirk, either way cigar generally aloft or clamped between the teeth and his irises two dark round orbs focused on the camera. What’s important is that the eyes are wide, as if in terror, and don’t actually match the avuncular insouciance of the rest of his features or pose. Do you hold someone’s gaze like that or do you look away, and possibly be perceived as weak by a predator such as Savile whose will had to dominate all around him?

Jun 26, 2014 · Jimmy Savile was said to have been best friends with the chief mortician of Leeds general infirmary. Jimmy Savile told hospital staff he interfered with patients' corpses, taking grotesque photographs and stealing glass eyes for jewellery, over two decades at the mortuary of Leeds general infirmary.
Jeffrey Epstein had a similar fetish collection:
The entrance hall is decorated not with paintings but with row upon row of individually framed eyeballs; these, the owner tells people with relish, were imported from England, where they were made for injured soldiers

False eye spots on animals seemingly serve the purpose of diverting predators and giving misdirection, "bamboozlement" http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141112-six-ways-animals-use-fake-eyes
