You said "He is alleged to have passed along a girl to a known pedophile."
He is not even alleged to have done that. What's been reported is that he joked on a BBC radio show about visiting Savile and bringing along his assistant.

Five years before the allegations against Savile emerged, the older star told Brand he “doesn’t usually meet fellas but if you’ve got a sister then that’s ok”.
Brand explained he didn’t have a sister but instead named a personal assistant he could meet.
“I’ve got a personal assistant,” Brand told Savile. “And part of her job description is that anyone I demand she greet, meet, massages, she has to do it. She’s very attractive, Jimmy.”
Savile answered: “Well, well that’s a good start. You could send her along to do some research.”
Asked by Brand what she should wear to meet Jimmy, the paedophile presenter replied: “I’d actually prefer her to wear nothing.”
Brand burst into laughter as Savile insisted: “There’s nothing wrong with that.”
There is no suggestion that Brand, Savile or Brand’s personal assistant ever met up following the interview.
