//as far as I can make out he has only groped these women...not raped them!!//


I ask again, have you read the Judge's sentencing remarks as posted earlier in this thread - if you call that only groping then I think it is time for me to scream.

sherrardk aussie media said the pictures were downloaded from ukrainian/russian websites and they could not prove they were underage


so i am told

[kloofnek]

I have read some of it...and he should not have done it with being so much older etc.etc. but I cannot understand WHY nothing was said at the time

[kloofnek]

Also,when a tale gets passed down..it gets bigger and bigger.

[royfromaus]

Right..I am now going to put my two pence in ,I have thought a lot about this RH business

Then stop thinking and start reading, kloofneck.

[royfromaus]

I really wish it wasn't against the Site Rules to call a poster daft!

[Mamyalynne]

You've read it and still call it 'only groping'?

It has been explained on here many many times the damage and fear that is instilled by the power of the abuser - I cannot explain it any better than others have been trying to.

This is where I leave the thread as I am starting to feel a bit ill.

Did you read this part, because I am not at all sure that people who said they've read it actually have :(
On Count 3 you indecently assaulted ‘C’ in the latter part of 1980 by which time she was
aged 15 and you were aged 50. You had moved to Bray, and were visiting the ‘Cs’ with your
wife. You committed the offence in breach of trust, and it was further aggravated by being
committed in ‘C’’s own home. You left your wife and ‘C’’s parents downstairs and you went
up to Jo’s bedroom on the top floor of the house. You spat on the fingers of one hand, put
that hand down her jeans and knickers, and digitally penetrated her vagina. The episode
lasted for about a minute until she managed to get away.
On Count 4 you indecently assaulted ‘C’ after Xmas 1980 when she was still aged 15 and you
were aged 50. Again you were visiting the ‘C’s with your wife. Again you committed the
offence in breach of trust and it was further aggravated by being committed in Jo’s own
home. You left your wife and ‘C’’s parents downstairs whilst you went up to the TV room on
the first floor where ‘C’ was. You spat on the fingers of one hand, put that hand down her
dungarees and knickers and digitally penetrated her vagina. You continued for up to a
minute until she managed to get away.
Counts 5 & 6 arose from a single incident in the period between the autumn of 1980 and
Easter 1981 when ‘C’ was aged 15 and you were aged 50. ‘C’ was visiting Bindi at Bray and
was permitted by her parents to stay – sleeping in one of two single beds in Bindi’s room.
On this occasion after Bindi had got up, and whilst she and/or your wife were in the house,
and again in breach of trust, you went into the bedroom where ‘C’ was still in bed. You took
her pants down, spat on the fingers of one of your hands, and digitally penetrated her vagina.

Yes, of course that's it, the CPS brought charges against Harris on the basis of some elaborate game of Chinese whispers.

[kvalidir]

Now wait for someone to report that post .

[DrFilth]

[sherrardk]

Thanks for the link but I have read about them previously.

[kloofnek]

OK..point taken..it is just we have been getting all these celebs being tried for sex offences which happened years and years ago,most of them have got away with it..there seems to be no end to it.
If something happens to a women like this...complain at the time....not 40 years down the line.
Not going to get annoyed about all this but am getting fed-up with it.and I do understand that most of you feel very strongly about what RH has done and I respect that.So no hard feelings.please.

[sherrardk]

Think I read somewhere that some (all?) of his victims found the courage to report him due to the Saville case being made public. It must be very difficult to speak about such things.

[Mamyalynne]

No hard feelings to you from me - just a bit amazed at the lack of comprehension but let's leave it there.


Then 101 comes along and asks the question that has been answered umpteen times already.


Maybe I should be very relieved so few have any understanding of abuse.

[kvalidir]

Of course no hard feelings Kloofnek, you are entitled to your opinions but I was concerned that a lot of people think they've read things like the official summing up and actually what they've read is a newspaper sanitised version with generic terms like 'groping', which make it sound like he might once have pinched someone's bum when in fact it was a whole lot viler.

[kloofnek]

yes ,kvalidir,that is what I read t,thought that it was just "groping"...so apologies to all who may have taken offence to my post.

[inksplotter]

Complain at the time!

Most of the time the rape victim never complains or reports it, ever. Surely that is wrong?

[inksplotter]

We seem to just asking the same questions.
