Worst kept "secret" ever.
Oh no - hope its not true

You are so right! One step too far?
Then again, how can any of us really know?

Not so sure it's one of those worst kept secret type stories Katty.
I think once the story did the rounds it was a matter of time before he was questioned.
Is it paedo related or adult related?

If there is a real allegation made against RH, then it is right and proper that he be investigated. Is this really a witch hunt or are people only now feeling confident enough to come out and speak of what has been done to them. You have to remember that the 60's, 70's and 80's were different times. these people like Saville, Harris etc had high profiles and a lot more "power" than they do these days. Also we live in a different world from 30/40 years ago.
'Flavour of the month' attitude, I think.
I'll be gutted if he's guilty. I always looked up to Rolf as a kid and he's always been one of my fave tv personalities

^^^^^^^ This
Not one of us knows what people are like in real life, JS was a odious creep and was there for all to see, some abusers and sexual predictors are just normal people who you wouldn't give a second glance to.

Me five. The Saville exposÃĐ has, without a doubt imo, given a lot of victims of historical abuse the confidence to come forward and trust that they that they will be listened to and taken seriously.

Four offences of making indecent images of a child between March and July 2012
Surely if he offended as recently as last year, he should be in police custody.

Not necessarily Cologne, the police could be "building the case" behind the scenes (a lot of work goes on that the public don't get to see) Making sure that they have all the information and that its accurate and demonstrable in court.
He may have had his passport taken if he was a flight risk.
they should have questioned him in a police station!
anyway, p*ssing about aside
i was hoping he'd not done anything
but he probably has
and he's disgusting
another childhood favourite gone t*ts up

He's been found guilty then?
From BBC News:
TV presenter Rolf Harris has been charged with nine counts of indecent assault and four of making indecent images of children, police have said.
Mr Harris was first arrested in March by officers investigating historical allegations of child sexual abuse.
Six offences relate to the indecent assault of a girl aged 15-16 between 1980 and 1981 and three relate to a girl aged 14 in 1986.
The indecent images of children were alleged to have been made last year.
Mr Harris, 83, of Bray, Berkshire, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 23 September. Mr Harris' lawyers have not publicly responded to the charges.
Operation Yewtree
Alison Saunders, chief Crown prosecutor for London, said: "Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Harris to be charged with nine counts of indecent assault and four of making indecent images of a child.
"The alleged indecent assaults date from 1980 to 1986 and
relate to two complainants aged 14 and 15 at the time of the alleged offending."
Mr Harris was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of allegations against the former BBC Radio 1 DJ and TV presenter Jimmy Savile.
Operation Yewtree has three strands - one is looking specifically at the actions of Savile, while the second strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others".
Mr Harris was arrested as part of the third strand, which relates to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the Savile investigation - who the police term "others".
Mr Harris has been a fixture on British TV screens for more than 40 years, having arrived in the UK from his native Australia in 1952.
He has been honoured in the UK three times, first as a Member of the British Empire in 1968 (MBE), then an OBE in 1977 and in 2006 he was advanced to a CBE.
In June 2012 he was awarded one of Australia's highest honours when he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's birthday list
"four of making indecent images of a child."
It this that i'm so shocked about. Either they have found those images in his possession or they haven't.
It seems they have.
He's been found guilty then?
i see where youre coming from-im not judge & jury
but the only thing that makes me think its true is the images he had on his pc
you have that kinda crap on your computer for one reason
but like i say..i cant say he's guilty
