Oh dear, I've got a horrible feeling this story will go on for a while yet, and I don't just mean with regards to Rolf Harris.
Oh dear...One of my many childhood heroes...

Mine too. I've always loved Rolf
Makes you wonder where he got the idea of the "Two Ltiile Boys" song from. 
We will have to wait and see what comes of it.
I will be gutted if he turns out to be guilty. It's not looking good for him at the moment!

STOP IT!!!! That's one of my favourite songs, and it's ruined now
Nothing to do to with who sang it, I just love the sentiment of the song. Personally I never liked him, even as a child. And the 'Learn to Swim' advert he did always turned me off.
Although, in fairness, it wasn't because as a child I had some fantastic insight. It was the wiggling of the toes at the end, and the beard. But mainly the toe wiggle.
I repeat....heard this many years ago from v credible sources who 'self-managed' rather than go to the police
What p's me off the most is that he produced a "Kids can Say No" video and associated curriculum materials, which were widely used in the 90s to teach primary age children that they could say no to sexual abuse..cos of course it was their responsibility to say no!

That's just it children should not be in a position that they have to say no. Plus lets be honest if someone is going to do that the child saying no is hardly going to stop them.
Rolf Harris will be charged with a further three offences

The worrying thing from this article is that his lawyer said in Sept that he would plead not guilty to the initial 13 charges.
It says nothing about the 'making indecent images of a child'.

I have a feeling Rolf will be doing time for this particularly if they can evidence the link to him and the images.
This explains things better,
"The 13 original charges against the Australian-born artist, musician and TV presenter relate to nine allegations of indecent assault and four of making indecent images of a child."
They've either got those images or they haven't?
The thing with the Rolf Harris charges, is that the alleged making indecent images of a child, is a from last year.
I don't know why but when it's at arms length of decades ago it some how doesn't have the same impact, not because the victims were any less damaged or traumatised, but probably because he's still at it(allegedly) .
The most depressing one arrested to date for me.

They may have the images but they have to prove Rolf Harris was the person who made/copied/stored it(them)

If he has indecent images then he is in trouble for a kick off. If they are on any electronic device that can store images then there is a good probablility that they can prove or disprove how he obtained them.

His face on that vid still doesn't give me nice thoughts...he looks "Excited" there. 
Have I missed it, but are we not even talking about real stuff now BB is on.
Is Rolf being found guilty not a talking point?
Hes 82, if he goes to prison, which it imagine he will, will he come out alive?
