I'm not overly shocked - not saying ooooooooooh I always thought there was something funny or anything like that but - I never particularly liked him. He used to make me cringe a bit TBH.

 

It is disturbing though the scale of this investigation and what it's turning up. Shocking really

What bothered me about him was that some of the charges related to downloads of child images, only last year.

Another one that thought he was untouchable.   In the past week, I've heard of two local men (not acquaintances of each other) who have been charged with exactly the same thing.   Scary.. especially as one of them lives directly opposite my niece and her family - it's a quiet cul de sac where the kids all play out in front the houses.   Makes me shudder.

Ironic that he did a childrens education film 'Say No.

Harris warns the children not to go off with strangers, but also explains that   people who they know can also pose a threat.

Shocking hypocrisy

It just goes to show not every sex offender has to ooze sleaze like Jimmy Savile did. As a child Jimmy Savile sent shivers down my spine whereas I always like Rolf and had I met him I probably would have trusted him without question. Trusting your instincts isn't always right is it. Very sad there are people like this in the world

There's a very important point here. I think what was most significant about this trial is that - unlike other celebrity cases so far - one of the girls he abused was a friend of his daughter. There's always a tendency to fear strangers and people who appear "a bit odd", but the sad fact is that most children are abused by someone they know...

To be fair to the police, you don't know they haven't a clue likewise you don't know whether it's just the newspapers sensationalising the story to sell copy.

Yep.

 

I grew up watching Rolf on a Saturday evening.  He was suitable viewing for all the family so to speak.  Duped a lot of people with his avuncular friendly bloke next door schtick... and roped a later generation in when he did Animal Hospital.

 

It's all a bit sickeningly shit really.

I think your view is rather simplistic and possibly over critical as you seem to be focusing on a few 'strap lines' and taking them as being concrete proof of the investigation approaching a conclusion and that you expect there to be no hitches or false positives that may delay, put back or send investigating officers down the wrong track.

 

Also I would reiterate - The media will broadcast and print anything that get's them readers or viewers whether it's the truth or a half truth.

Rolf Harris is due to be sentenced for a string of sex attacks against underage girls.

He arrived at Southwark Crown Court accompanied by his daughter Bindi and entered the building without speaking to reporters.

In the dock, he had a small, multi-coloured suitcase on a chair behind him.

His wife, Alwen, was not in court as she was apparently unwell.

Victim impact statements were read out and there were also remarks from prosecution and defence teams.

Harris will be sentenced after 12pm, said judge Mr Justice Sweeney.

Prosecutors have said he will not stand trial over claims he downloaded sexual images of children.

The 84-year-old allegedly had 33 such photographs among a larger collection of thousands of adult pornographic images.

 

Prosecutors claimed he had looked at a site called "teeny tiny girlfriends" and accessed a picture of a girl who was "extremely young in appearance".

Harris also allegedly clicked on other words including "youngest teen porn", "my little nieces" and "young teen girls".

Earlier in the day, Harris had left his riverside home in Bray, Berkshire, by boat as he made his way to the court in central London.
