Rolf Harris

[EffectiveCommunication]

I remember him as a child, drawing cartoons.

The information coming forward in the news is upsetting, not shocking as I had read things on MN threads well before his arrest.

I didn't give a toss about any of the other well known people, but Rolf is somewhat of a childhood hero.

Even as an adult he is someone whom I have greatly admired.

Whilst he must face justice if he is guilty, I do hope that he was not guilty of any crimes and the court thus finds him innocent.

It makes me feel sick, he was a regular visitor at my child's school.

Oh I missed Noddy's message.

You mean the 'allegations' rather than the "information" don't you?

Hello

Please remember that this case is sub judice now, so we'd be grateful if you took care not to post anything that could prejudice the case.

Is it the same court and judge as Max Clifford's case was heard?

The letter he wrote to the girls father which was read out in court today made me feel sick.

Until max Clifford was imprisoned, I didn't think these cases were being taken seriously in many ways.

I'm shocked by what's coming out in court.

If I was on trial for this kind of offence, I'd be very worried & not assume I would be found not guilty.

Can someone point me to a link?

LEM there is a report on the BBC website

Thanks forgettable - i just had a look, honestly, sometimes i forget there are sites other than mumsnet What a disgusting individual he is.

You are welcome!

Can't link, on stupid craplet

Why on earth is his wife grinning like an idiot in all of the press photographs of them outside the court? Sickening

I remember when he was interviewed on tv piers morgan I think his daughter never looked happy all teh way through it. I commented to dp at the time that she looked embarrassed and uncomfortable I really feel for her

I used to see her around a lot Kein, she always looks like that, probably nervous.

Recently I have begun to wonder if sexual abuse/grooming etc its an elephant in the room. I know similar numbers people who have been affected by it with people say who have had cancer, no idea how that stacks up with general population?

Very shocking.

That's my main problem with the prosecuting of 'celebs' Dad77.

Sexual abuse, grooming and harassment was very prevalent. You simply can't prosecute all the back cases in the general population.
