Rolf never been to Cambridge, a 1978 video of Rolf having a celebrity sports day there kind  of makes his cries of 'haven't been there, haven't done that', look really lame don't they.

He was known as the 'octopus' at TV and radio stations where he would be interviewed.

He was a grubby little man who took liberties with girls and women with no concern for the embarrassment he caused them.

Sneaky 'gropers' are low-lifes' who lack the mature inhibitions that the average person exercises as part of being a civilised human being. 'Gropers' are thieves of girls' and women's right to be respected for their dignity.

His inappropriate 'groping' was on a par with those sad wänkers who take pictures up women's skirts.

Grubby, indecent, self-serving wretches.

I hope he's forced to pay a heavy compensation to all those women who were so disgracefully abused by him. That just might knock the inane smile off his wife's face.

Indecent paintings or simply nudes?

Do you remember the charcoal sketches of Aboriginal women & young girls cartoonist Eric Jolliffe of Salt Bush Bill & Wichettys Tribe did????

Harris could do the same with a 5 inch paintbrush ...... in fact did many on TV over the years ....

wasn't considered "indecent" then.

That's true, but most of these girls who claim sexual assault were 13 or 14 and old enough to tell someone who might believe them.

I've never been a fan of Harris - always thought he was sleazy, although very talented. Still - why not bring up these issues even 20 years ago. How can an elderly man be expected to remember all the details even if he did grope young girls when he had the opportunity.

Herbert - yes there are plenty of decent, civilised men around who would never take advantage of a young girl and being groped isn't pleasant. I encountered a few gropers as a teenager - in boardrooms, offices - and even walking around the shops in nice suburbs or at a crowded train station. It was something that many young girls just accepted. Perhaps it was the micro mini skirts we wore back then - that's what my mother used to say anyway, but you either laughed it off with your girlfriends or just accepted it with disgust. I couldn't even put a name or face to a groper now and I certainly didn't lose any sleep over them.

The only reason Harris is remembered is because he's a celebrity. There's going to be a settlement in it for the alleged victims. This is all about money.

It's sad that his orientation also includes young girls as well as women, but as long as he doesn't 'act out' those fantasies in real life, then once again it's nobody's business but his own.

Many an otherwise good man has been brought low and had his life ruined by public disclosures of a sexual kind that conventional society has deemed to be disgraceful and perverted.

Nowadays it's almost a criminal offence to publicly express any sort of moral disapproval and contempt for homosexuals, whereas just a few years ago it was "The love that dare not speak its name". 

What was recently regarded as being an utter abomination has now become a cause for celebration and street parades.

Maybe it's just that Rolf Harris is before his time ...

I can see your point of view. Up until the 80's sexual assaults were fairly common, but there wasn't anyone to complain to so you just got over it - although that would depend on the severity of the assault.

You wouldn't be alone in your experiences as a young man Herbert - few men would complain about these assaults - even today.
