While I agree that individually his offences were minor, it is the opportunistic abuse of his position and the constant offending that is serious.
If he weren't the famous person he was I doubt he'd even get a custodial sentence, but because he is he will, and in my opinion, rightly so.
I agree too that there should be follow-up prosecutions of all those who allowed him to get away with it, and in the Saville case too, and the Hey Dad also, if it weren't for their complaisance these offenders would never have been able to do what they did.
In some ways turning a blind eye to offending can be seen to be even worse than the initial offense!
really....are you for real... ONLY MINOR..........
would you say that if it was your daughter...whats a bit of touching and feeling... OMG.
Are you seriously suggesting that opportunistic public groping is the same as the brutal rape and murder etc that happens all too often?
The families of the victims of the murderers and pornographers might have something to say about that! Let alone the ongoing horror of those forced into prostitution!
So yes, I'd say his offenses were on the minor end of that scale, but I ask you to read my earlier posts about him and his punishment please.
are you suggesting... brutal murder and rape dpo not start with touching and feeling.......
as a matter of fact my 14 yr old grandson had two girls tell him that a certain boy had done exactly that to them in school grounds...he had the sense to tell the teacher....
14 yr old boy touching two girls.......where do you think that may lead????????..
look at Rolfs history he was touching 8 year olds...do you seriously think had he been the butcher down the street it would have gone further.. he was famous for most of his adult life..he surrounded himself with kids.....
perhaps you should also note about the CHILD PORNOGRAPHY HE VIEWED......
you see even though you may not be touching these children the fact you buy into view it.. is what keeps it going... and the poor children.. left to commit suicide or drink themselves into oblivion....
it all starts somewhere aust..a bloke doesnt suddenly become a paedo.overnight...
like children who murder... they usually start off killing animals..theres a lot to Rolf the world didnt know about... even to him making films about Stranger Danger.....
So he should be punished for what he might have been going to do, even though he'd never done it in decades of offending? Or are you suggesting he be punished for what others like him do?
It's rather odd, I made a post here on his sentencing that appears to be gone. I must have stuffed up posting it, though I'm sure I saw it on the thread afterwards. I can't imagine it was removed for any reason, or by anyone, but it's not in my post register either, b*ggered if I know?
Whatever, the gist of it was that as he's been a long-term offender using his position to abuse his victims then he deserved the harshest of sentences, not unlike a teacher or similar.
As I've said, I personally believe such crimes should be a capital offence, but the do-goodies won't wear that.
