The lawyers of Rolf threatened the press under the Leveson Report in order they did not print the story.Some of us knew months ago,and of a person is actually arrested why is it not in the public interest?This report could now be used on a number of things and celebrities could get up to things we may never know.As it happens I hope Rolf is innocent,he has been a good entertainer over the years.I put this in local issues because Rolf lives in Bray. |

Its hard to believe Rolf Harris is guilty. Guilty of what exactly? Did he grope a women's backside...which back in the 60's and 70's would not have been seen in such a serious light as it is these days or is it something much more serious? I do think what is going on is a bit questionable particularly for "offences" that may have occurred 30/40 years ago. The Saville situation is very different as his attacks were against vulnerable children so you can understand why so many of them were too scared to come forward. |

It's a witchunt Zip,if everybody was arrested for for some little thing we did in the sixties/seventies wee would all be arrested.Unless its something on the Saville lines or rape of coarse. Edited by Hayes, 21 Apr 2013, 07:50 AM.

It depends what he is charged with. It's got to be more than groping a girls bum 30 odd years ago, Having said that, I think it's awful that so many people have been named before these cases get to court. If it turns out that any of these people are guilty of serious offences then hammer them, but none of these celebrities will ever shake off the stigma now they've been named. If any of them are acquitted people will just say they got away with it because they could afford expensive legal teams. |

I find it disturbing that when it was on the news the first thing they showed was a film of the vile Savile driving his Rolls Royce. Rolf's alleged 'offences' are nothing whatsoever to do with that yet you'll get the usual ignorant people tarring him with the same brush and calling him a 'paedo'. I've always felt uneasy about people being named as suspects before being charged with anything, particularly about emotive things like this. A few years ago I don't know if you remember on the south coast somewhere there were people on the streets campaigning about paedophiles. There was a paediatrician living nearby who was targeted by them. Another point I wanted to make - all this fuss about phone-hacking etc, why on earth were they not hacking Savile's phone?

Could not agree more,that's why the police should come clean with the public and say exactly what the charges were for from the off.I feel a bit sorry for him because while the tittle tattle on twitter goes about the word peado is banded about.I hope he is not guilty,he is not a bad man.

Its an unfortunate fact, but in the fall out from the Saville allegations, it seems all these named people are guilty until proved innocent. And I guess even that won't be proof enough for some people. |
