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. |

Not so sure. Celebrities live on their ego's, and he's no different. Of course he'll be happy to escape a guilty verdict, and a lengthy spell in prison, but his reputation in tatters will mean a lot to him. |

BBC News Rolf Harris trial: Entertainer 'disguised dark side of character' Rolf Harris has admitted he is good at disguising a "dark side" of his character as he gave evidence for a second day at his sex abuse trial. The 84-year-old TV entertainer said his wife and daughter had not known of his relationship with an alleged victim. Prosecuting lawyer Sasha Wass QC said the court would need to fathom "how dark that dark side actually is". Mr Harris, of Bray, in Berkshire, denies 12 indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986. He told Southwark Crown Court he had had a consensual relationship with one woman - a childhood friend of his daughter - who is the subject of seven of the charges Mr Harris faces, when she was an adult, but that nothing had happened while she was a child. When he said friends and family had not known about the relationship, Ms Wass asked: "You are pretty good at disguising that dark side of your character aren't you?" "Yes," Mr Harris replied. |

Latest on the story - Rolf Harris testimony 'contradicted' by video evidence The jury at the trial of Rolf Harris has seen a video prosecutors say contradicts his assertion he could not have been at the location of one of his alleged indecent assaults. The footage, from ITV game show Star Games, was filmed in Cambridge in 1978. The entertainer had told the court he first visited the city four years ago. Mr Harris, 84, denies 12 indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986. In cross-examination, he said he had not realised where the show was shot. Prosecutor Sasha Wass QC suggested he was "telling a deliberate lie". Full article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27663966 Rolf Harris's daughter tells court of 'shock at affair' Rolf Harris's daughter has told a court of her "utter shock" and suicidal feelings at being told the entertainer had an affair with her friend. Bindi Nicholls told the Southwark Crown Court jury the friend had revealed a consensual affair with her father had taken place from the age of 18 or 19. But she said no claims of sexual assault had been made by her friend. Full article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27665923 |

Meanwhile - Jimmy Savile abuse reports 'reach 500' There have been at least 500 reports of abuse by ex-BBC presenter Jimmy Savile, NSPCC research for Panorama has found. Most of the alleged victims were between the ages of 13 and 15, but the youngest was two. Meanwhile, leaked memos reveal the extent of Savile's influence at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, where he was appointed to lead a task force to reform the hospital. Panorama has been told about 16 reports of abuse at the hospital. The Department of Health and the BBC are due to publish reports into Savile later this year. Children's charity the NSPCC said its helpline had received 50 more reports of abuse by Savile since its joint report with the Metropolitan Police was published in January 2013. These included reports from victims themselves, people who knew victims of abuse and people reporting information which was considered useful to the ongoing investigations. The earliest incident dated back to the mid-1940s, with the most recent in 2007. Full article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27621777 |

Rolf Harris guilty on 12 charges. Sentencing on Friday, I imagine he'll get hammered. |

I heard on the news this morning that two of the offences Harris has been found guilty of carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years each. The other ten offences carry a maximum prison sentence of 2 years each. Now although I never expected him to cop the maximum sentence on any of those offences, I reckon 5 years and 9 months has seen him get off pretty lightly. Then again, I also heard that more victims have come forward and a decision is being made whether to pursue their allegations, so it might not all be over yet. |
