Rolf Harris

[kat1]

Hes been arrested now regarding sexual abuse! What i don't understand is all these celebrities named but none charged?

[chaptazbru]

It is sad if he's not guilty beattie. Hopefully the truth will emrege soon.

[beattie819]

that is what I am saying cazz

[ummmm]

How well do you know him?

[Mattk]

"He is now a completely broken man. It is so unfair"

Unfair only if he's innocent...which he is at this present time.

[sir.prize]

Some of the authorities appear to be enjoying it . . .

''A top Crown Prosecution Service official has predicted another batch of “high profile” suspects''.

[jackthehat]

Jimmy Savile had his champions, too...............until he didn't.

Why don't we all wait until such a time as his guilt has been dis/proven before deciding whether he deserves castigating, or not?

[chaptazbru]

I'm not cazz, I'm chap !

[ummmm]

Cazzzz posted before you on the previous page..

[chaptazbru]

Didn't see it

[beattie819]

well enough ummmm

[Barmaid]

Out of respect for your friendship Beattie, I should refrain from commenting further until the matter has been resolved either way. Comments such as "It is so unfair, he has made mistakes, as have we all, but nothing to compare with jimmy savile." could be misinterpreted on here or by the media.

[beattie819]

just speaking from the heart, no offence meant. Im feeling sad about all sorts at the moment, had my mums funeral this week. I will sod off and keep my mouth shut

[chaptazbru]

Sorry about your Mum beattie x

[Zeuhl]

An old school friend of mine lives in Bray and knows Rolf and his wife as long term neighbours

He likes them both very much

on the previous occasions, word locally was that Rolf was just being interviewed as a potential witness to offences

Do these latest reports scupper that?

[Barmaid]

I don't think you've offended anyone Beattie, I was just trying to point out that as you know him it is probably best to say nothing at the moment.

Condolences on your mother.

[chaptazbru]

Apparently Channel 5 have now suspended his repeated animal programme.

[ludwig]

// all these celebrities named but none charged? //

They're hauling anyone who was on telly the 1970s in for questioning, to try and make up for the fact they let Savile get away with it for 40 years.

If you weren't on telly though they're not interested, so you can relax.

[Goodsoulette]

Despite growing up and thinking that all men with beards were child molesters, Rolf Harris never gave me the creeps.

[Connemmara]

I don't think they should shame these alleged perpetrators till the police get the bloody facts right. They are dealing with people who entertained with great dignity now Rolf suffers from clinical depression and if this turns out wrong where will he spirall to. Wait until the correct facts and answers come out without turning this fiasco into a circus.

Old Geezer commented he didnt know why people were arrested if there was no evidence to charge.....

dear dear - one is arrested on suspicion....

This came up spectacularly in the Steven Laurence case when one of the police it transpried had been arresting on the wrong criteria for 20 years.
(he wanted stronger than a suspicion)

as for secret arrests Old geezer - the bill you want is going thro parliament as we blog
