Whether any accusations are true or untrue, who knows? Rather pointless.
The news report I heard reported that he was unanimously found guilty on all charges brought before that court.
I also heard on the same news report that a number of others who claim to be victims are talking to a law firm to see if they have a case.
I wonder if there will be an appeal?
I wonder if there will be another trial?
One thing is for sure, the press will milk it for all the mileage they can get. Waiting for the "Womans Day" interviews with the victims just after the latest news on Kate, Will, George and Harry..

A 3 year gaol sentence.

This rock spider has destroyed the lives 4 young girls and has got nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

What a disgrace. Just shows the UK judicial system is as pathetic as ours.

I think the whole thing is very sad. Here is a bloke who has wrecked his life's work (he is a talented fellow) through thinking because he is famous he could get away with anything. He may die in jail and I believe his wife is very ill, she may die before he gets out.

Just like Jimmy Saville and Robert Hughes they think their fame is an entitlement to do what they want. Kiddy fiddling is the lowest of the low in my book.

He will be in protection....

Got what he deserved,although they are saying it is going to be looked at as too lenient.

Probably is,although he may not live long enough to see it out.

He probably wrecked the lives of more than the few that have come forward.:(

Perhaps beards will go out of fashion now, like his paintings :cool:

A five year nine month sentence was handed down. His age and health was taken into account in determining the sentence.
Had the "victims" spoken up earlier, they may have exacted a more substantial revenge.

The sentence was given by the law of the day. At the time of the offences where committed. That was the time you did. If it was today it would be life. So are the "victims" to be blamed for this situation?.

I'm guessing the judge at Rolf Harris's sentencing has a sense of humour then?

He have him 69 months.

You don't get it, do you? When Rolf gets out, he will have much fewer years of his life in tatters than had he got out twenty or thirty years ago.
