Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

Can someone tell me why only rich celebs are being accused, not one member from the general public seems involved, I find that awful hard to understand myself, other than it is just done for money.
I think the police have a very hard job after this amount of time has elapsed.
Let's face it they couldn't make it stick with Saville, so why should they be able to prove those accused now?

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

I have no answer to that one but it has always worried me that the first thing the saville accusers did was try to make claims on his estate. Not sure what happened there last time I saw anything in the papers his estate was frozen pending people coming forward to make claims. All seemed very sleazy to me.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

The whole thing is sleazy when money starts to be discussed. No excuses for the man but no amount of money would put right what he did so why ask for it ?

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

If anyone deserves anything out of it - its the victims - you never know, some may do a lot of good with any money they get - 'if' they get or 'want' it ...

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

I have to be honest here I think. I come to this discussion from a point where we are helping my niece to parent her small child born from rape. I look at her and just know money wouldn't help her in any way at all from the monster who did this. When he was jailed was what helped her.

We encouraged her to be brave and make this man pay and she did what was necessary to bring that about. We are so proud of her, so proud. If she had wanted his money I would have not been so proud and she would have not been as well as she has been.

These accusers if what happened is what they say should have come forward and done what was necessary not tried to grab his money when he died.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

That was my point Julie - a lot of them 'did' go to the police or school master - they shunned them. Some police authority 'did' question Saville, it didn't take much for him to bluff his way out. Even hospital staff 'knew' and told potential victims to pretend to be asleep....
