I remember years ago when being GAY was a No No in Hollywood.. and Rock Hudson was THE LEADING man of the moment.and as Gay as a nutmeg...anyway there was also another handsome leading man also Gay...and word had got out that about someone being caught... and the studio made a choice either Rock or the other guy someone called George would be the scape goat...Geo it was and his career went out the window and we all know what happened to Rock..Rock also had a sham marriage arranged by the studio...

Over the past 50 years I got most of my education reading barber shop magazines ~ and I remember well all the gay Hollywood stars who were prodded out of their closets by the magazine industry.

Marlon Brando apparently had a 'stable' of Hollywood actors at his disposal.

Even 3 years inside is a lifetime for someone of Harris' age. I'll be surprised if he doesn't die in prison. Not a chance. Having a captured audience taking a close interest in his third leg will definitely reignite his career prospects.

Well Ian you seem to think so... all females are out to get you..??? HUH.. dream on creepo.

No YOU say these things... but lets just admit here,, OK,,??
that MEN are responsible for the carnage in our world...

Men have had the power for millennia ... only NOW... you men are starting to cry about the rise of women.

Sadly too late to save the world... you macho arseholes have done the dirty deeds.. but now you seek lay blame somewhere else..

YES MEN as a GENDER are now recognised by the brighter folk in our community as responsible for ALL the CRAP in the WORLD.

Hey... you had the power.. you have to accept the result.

Nope blame it on women and children !

Sorry.. not acceptable... you wore the shoes,,,.. you took the steps... now you are getting towards your reward.... which is chaos.........

Not quite yet tho ... and you will take civilisation with you.. feel good about that...??

Men arent just responisible for the carnage in the world, we are responsible for the world. Without the male testosterone drive our species would have become extinct a long time ago and civilisation would not exist. Like it or not Patsi, your life and continued existence is based on men.

I read it as well. Do they always change the name on those docs? I was confused to start with and thought it was a different case.

(also can I share that link with others?) I assume it's public info?

It is a different case Jaq, but relevant to Justice Sweeney's sentencing of Harris ...........yes it's public info and you can share it.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that women are far and away more vicious than men when it comes to torture etc, historically, and since they are also responsible for the great majority of physical and mental harm to children, demonstrating their congenital lack of empathy, perhaps RH should be sent to a women's prison?
That'd certainly focus his attention on the error of his ways! Cheesy

No. It's in England, not here.

He can only be sentenced based on the penalties that existed when he committed the crimes - i.e. pre 1986. The maximum sentences then were a fraction of what they are now.
Also, they still have the remissions system there - they can't specify a minimum jail time to be served. Unlike here, they get time off for good behaviour, so they can serve just half or less of the specified sentence.

Sorry Sir Bobby, Rolf hasn't been sent to prison for rehabilitation, he has been sent there for punishment for his crimes. Yes, punishment, a lot of people seem to think that prison should be a holiday...it ain't!

In Britain the relevant Minister has ordered the removal of Sky TV and removed other privileges because there is a growing concern that prison is becoming soft. Prison should be hard, bloody hard.

O.K. if prisoners want to educate themselves and try to find a path but don't make it soft on the bastards.

They are there for punishment for their crimes.

AS punishment, Red.. you know that.. not FOR punishment. Privileges are given as a reward for good behaviour and as a means of controlling a population that far out-numbers the guards.

Take those away and all the 80 year olds might riot...

What about the appeal process? He might be back out soon -ending appeal. Depends on the quality of the evidence which will be reviewed by a clerk anyway....if not a judge.... then a decision will be made on bail pending appeal outcome...

I think it is terribly unfortunate that such things can never be held to a totally objective standard of proof and evidence, and thus such offences can be treated properly every time... but them's the breaks.

BTW - that is one reason why a person may be judicially guilty but in fact innocent, and why there is reference now to 'police records' rather than 'criminal records'. There IS, unfortunately for society, a huge difference, as in old-time and probably current Libya and elsewhere, in 'coming to the attention of police' etc and actually being guilty of anything.

Nah, in fact if you read the link Alinta has provided, it is arguable that what Rolf was handed is (technically) manifestly excessive.

Marlon Brando apparently had a 'stable' of Hollywood actors at his disposal.

but they were probably gossip mags and not the real facts....today they get sued for that Laurence Olivier..and Danny Kaye was a bit of an eye opener....but still it wasnt children involved and as far as I know I do not recall anything along those lines.. and there were plenty of child actors lets face it...

I beliv e another 30 women have come out with complaints about Rolf...looks like he had too much time on his hands...oops... so once again I do not believe his wife didnt know about his BAD habit...and for all we know it did go further...we are not told about whats coming out now..

.this is what he did in public.. I shudder to think what went on behind closed doors..

how do you know they were after????...its no different to any case like this.. always people come out during and after...I am not sure how the police handle it.. they have by law to take notice I am sure of that.. but what they do with that knowledge I wouldnt know..just supposing most are in AUstralia..and if he is returned here they can then sue him I dont know....it seems strange I admit..but then we didnt know about the 10 witness' until the last minute so these may have all been there.just not added to the LOOONG list..

I do not think just anyone can walk in and make a claim........it takes more than that I am sure.

I totally agree with you that men are largely responsible for the atrocities in the world, but the vast majority are average caring people who try their best.
Actually, I support some type of medical procedure to take away the urges of repeat offenders, but that's a dicey area and I would expect a lot of opposition to this idea.

If you do a little research into how having women in charge might reduce wars and violence, you should be surprised to find that it's not the case.

Here's a little snip from an article that took me about 10 seconds to find.
Quote:

When it came to aggression, the evidence was more ambiguous: Hyde found a "moderate" gender difference in physical aggression (men were, on average, moderately more physically aggressive than women), but the picture was more complex when other forms of aggression were factored in: Women, for instance, may be slightly more "relationally aggressive." In certain contexts, different studies suggest, women may be as (or even slightly more) physically aggressive than men, although men's greater strength makes them more dangerous when they become aggressive.

....When it comes to aggression, the picture becomes even more complex if we take away the social context and cues that powerfully affect behavior. In one study, participants who believed that researchers would not know their names or genders defied standard assumptions about gender and aggression. In a simulated conflict setting, men chose to drop more bombs than women when they believed researchers knew their identities, but when study subjects believed themselves to be anonymous, women actually dropped more bombs than male participants.

Yes, your attitude is definitely one of my pet hates. I think you're merely after something for nothing. A usurper of power with a vindictive nature is dangerous to any society.

Ah Amadd... were you referring to me in the hi-lited portion above.? Or strong women..?

I totally agree.. and I'll say it again... the female is deadlier than the male....
given a fair pitch.

Precisely why men have in their fear,, trod women into the dirt for thousands of years.
BUT see.. you can't afford to do that now... without the female workforce.... we would truly be in deep do do...

and shucks .. that means education, a bit of personal freedom...

Don't be dinosaurs Guys... Go with flow.. and accept the inevitabilty of women and men being considered truly of equal worth.

The nicest people I've ever known have often been men..

but real men.. not quaking old farts who long for days gone by. Get over it.

Female warriors have been known down the eons... even tribes of them.. yep... and feared /// ??
