Thread: Rolf Harris

If it's true, lucky fellow.

You did say the UK press. More than likely not true.

Well Bob, the key phrase there is "not charged". The Sun are typical tabloid scum, and by naming him in the press it becomes guilt by association.

However, even Blind Freddy would have worked out that the "Australian entertainer living in Maidenhead" was Rolf Harris. (I used to work there, and a colleague of mine used to work for a bit of extra cash in Rolf's local filling station)

I truly hope that this whole situation is sorted out so that justice is found for the victims.

Ah. Serves my right for not reading the press. Didn't mention that in the OP.
I find that difficult to believe.

Rolf was originally a kindy teacher, wasn't he?

People in positions of trust are probably more likely to abuse them.
And yes, it was a bit of a circus fair, how many prominent Australian performers of his exact age and location do you suppose there are.
Was anyone really surprised Jimmy Savile wasn't exactly an upstanding chap, he looks like Gollum after a week in Vegas.

Not sure, but I like Rolf as a character. The investigation is the Yewtree one centered around Jimmy Saville, not all the incidents connected to it are child sex abuse and some people called in would not even be connected to saville directly. He may have just been around at the time of an incident that occurred at the BBC studios.. no info given so who knows.

I'll reserve judgement for now.

Last I read, it was more along the lines of pinching the make-up lady's bum, etc, not kiddy fiddling (at least in the case of Rolf).

Mind you, that was about a month ago when it came out.
