Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences
I was shocked to see this headline today, I mean the list keeps getting longer, anyway as far as I'm concerned he's innocent until proven guilty.The wife said something to me today that made sense, first time in years,
she said that any celebrity found guilty of sexual assault on minors (I'm not referring to this case) should be stripped of all their assets and not have a life of financial luxury to look forward to when they come out of prison, they do it with criminals over here, the Criminal Assets Bureau takes everything off them that's proved to be ill gotten gains and given to the State. The money taken from the sex offenders should be distributed amongst the unfortunate victims.

' I think the whole thing has got out of hand with some people, having been slapped on their bottom as a youngster and told to run back to mum, probably just think they may be able to sue someone for money'.
This does not say it is nothing more than a slapped bottom or two taken out of context. It says that some people are trying to make money out of it.
Alan, I never groped a female when I was young, I was brought up to respect the female form.

I have absolutely no doubt that some of the alleged victims are just trying to make money out of it - not like the person they are accusing can argue their corner any more and that, imo, is unforgiveable. I just feel that those who covered up the offences that did happen need to held accountable.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences
I think many of us have been groped in the past by some creep trying it on. The person who did it to me when I was a teenager, was kicked where it hurt most! Someone groped our eldest girl when she was 15 and she threatened to kill them if they did it again. Her father had a strong word with the guy. However because we didn't complain to the police as we should have done, these scum could well have gone on to assault others much more seriously.

No one at that age found anything wrong in it, it was part of courting and making love, which is just a natural process of healthy young people.
Folks who say they didn't do it, were not very sexually minded and really didn't understand their bodies.
We at the age of 14 had sex lessons at school, and it included every detail of sex.
Those that led a sheltered life, certainly missed out, and probably didn't make good lovers, like ourselves.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences
Read what I have said, it was when a couple were having a kiss and cuddle, surely you are not that naive to understand that is mutual.Now you see how hard it is for the police to really distinguish between a grope and just a natural process of courting.
