Rolf Harris Friday can't come soon enough

It makes my skin crawl that if he has come back to his home whilst awaiting sentencing on Friday that he can stroll around our local town. Ffs he has been found guilty of major child abuse crimes.
Why don't judges just remand these sick bastards until passing sentence. He normally goes to our local Supermarket hopefully he will not show his face around town.He is a known personality and now he is a known child abuser.
Hopefully the judge will give him a long deserved sentance.

I really don't think assumptions about the wife and daughter should keep being made. They were not on trial. It is all assumption and goosip!

I agree with this. No-one other than themselves can know what they knew or didnt know and as they werent on trial there is no legal or official stance on what they knew. It serves no purpose other than to anger yourself to speculate.

Hope there's a hell!!!!

Hope for justice. You've a much better chance of feeling satisfied then and witnessing it in action Wink

I think it is hugely distasteful to attribute guilt to a guilty person's family.

It's the sort of thing people who bang on police vans and throw bricks at pediatrician's houses do.

He probably groomed his family, too, iykwim?

They weren't on trial and their lives are ruined, too. Unless they were complicit, and it's proven, you can't be too hard on them, surely?

Icimoi · 02/07/2014 07:13

Blaming the family is ridiculous and judgmental. We have no means of knowing what went on and you just can't say anyone "must have" known what was happening. There is only one person who is to blame, and he will be duly punished.

Put your pitchfork away, seasidesally.

RH is a convicted sex offender - but he painted nice pictures eh :(

OP, you live near me. Used to see him in town regularly and petted his dog in Pets at Home last year shudders

IscreamUscream · 02/07/2014 10:04

Waves to Francescal88 yes he is a regular in town, makes me shudder that he lives not very far from a local primary school. I suppose it will be front page news in the local paper out tomorrow! He used to ask a friend of mine to pose whilst he drew a picture of her when she was at a drama school as a teenager. Luckily she declined him the vile man.

Hi all,

Thanks for your reports. We'd really appreciate it if you could avoid making speculations about other people in relation to Rolf Harris as these break our talk guidelines.
