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.

What I will say is that when I first met the 1st Mr bmb, who was a bit older than me, I lied my head off and told him I was 17 not the 14 that I was. Came as a bit of a shock to him when we got married 2 years later that I was actually turning 16 that day not 19 as he thought. Girls of that age look older, especially in the right clothes & make up. Younger than that is a whole different matter but I am always a bit uncomfortable with the paedo tag when it's girls of the 14-16 age group because I know my friends and I lied about our ages all the time to get into nightclubs etc. I've not been following the case because I don't want to. IF he is found guilty then I will read it but I'd prefer to taint my memory of him with a proven fact rather than unproven allegations. Age 7 or 8 is sick beyond belief and no excuses but I can have some sympathy in relation to those around 14-16 where a man maybe totally oblivious to their real age because she has lied her butt off. Knowing their true age would be different of course.
Travis is up on thirteen counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.

The woman giving evidence today was 26 at the time he, allegedly, assaulted her. Whether any of the others were young girls at the time remains to be seen, but the charges against Rolf Harris and William Roach seem to be far more serious and do relate to young girls.

And, of course you are right, 13, 14 and 15 year old girls can look much older when they wear certain clothes and make up. But all the accused were in high profile positions and able to take advantage of their fame.

Only time will tell whether they are guilty or innocent, but whatever the outcome, their reputations will be int tatters.
As I said before,back in the sixties did we know for a fact all the girls we went with were over 16 ^o) Unless you logged all your sexual activity at the time and got there birth certificates who knows for sure.But there status alone must surely make them be more careful,if they knew anyway than lock them up.I am talking about 14 and 15 year old girls here,mind you back them they actually did look their age :D

On the flip side of that is some girls of that age, actually and some women too will do anything for a bit of fame/money/thinking they will be the girlfriend not a cheap lay. Not suggesting that has happened because I really don't know but growing up in a privileged inside position in football I have seen many a bimbo throwing themselves at players. Yes the men have a responsibility but there are some scheming slappers out there as well. I've kicked many a bimbo out of my house when I've had young players lodging with me to protect the players from doing something stupid.

And before anyone says if it was your daughter... I have a daughter who was brought up with self respect and self worth. She spent years living under the same roof as various young players and was never silly enough to even think about going there.

Just playing devils advocate, having been a devious teen girl myself once upon a time! (Mid - late 80"s)

No evidence of Jimmy Savile link to 'abuse' orphanage, say police

No evidence has been found to link disgraced TV star Jimmy Savile to an orphanage at the centre of an abuse inquiry, a chief constable has said. Cabinet minister Justine Greening wrote to head of Bedfordshire Police Colette Paul after concerns were raised by constituent Gordon McIntosh. It was reported Savile could have visited the home in the 1950s. Mrs Paul said there was "anecdotal evidence" of Savile visiting the area but nothing linking him to the home.

From the first couple of snippets I've read about the trial this week, I'd say witness No1 is a bit wobbly, to say the least.

Rolf Harris trial: Woman describes 'dirty old man'

Rolf Harris's youngest alleged victim told jurors he was a "dirty old man" who assaulted her "out of nowhere". The woman said she was seven or eight years old when the entertainer molested her while signing autographs at a community centre near Portsmouth. She broke into tears as she told the court she was scared and wanted to scream out during the incident, which happened between 1968 and 1970.

Mr Harris, 84, denies 12 counts of indecent assault between 1968 and 1986. His alleged victims were aged between seven or eight and 19 when the offences are said to have taken place.

It's not sounding good is it. The allegations are starting to mount up. If it was one or maybe two accusations, there might be the possibility of people out for money, but when it's more?

Whether he comes out of this as a convicted sex offender or just a dirty old man, his amiable aussie image, which he's built over the last 60 years, is shot to pieces.

At aged 82, as long as he's found innocent, I doubt he gives a flying one tbh.
