No it doesn't excuse them but looking at the time it happened times were very different. These days I doubt anyone would be stripped naked on their first day of work in a factory and expected to run through the first and second floor of the factory but back then it was common place. And that was women stripping the boys/men on their first day.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

Points to note:
1) Rolf Harris instructed his soliciotrs to use the Levenson report to stop his name being published in regard to the arrest and questioning.
2) All others arrested for questioning Freddie Starr, Dave Lee Travis, Stuart Hall etc have all made statements denying the allegations Harris has not.

I suggest those that think Rolf is 100% innocent read this:

By the way, some of you need a sense of humour transplant!
Jokes about such news events are the "British way"

I don't see anything there that makes me think Rolf is guilty, his representatives were doing their job and protecting him. You have to see him here as a rather vulnerable person IMO he has been in and out of mental hospitals with depression for years, they would be trying to stop that happening again I would imagine.

I am not saying he is innocent but why do we need to know anything about all this unless or until he is found guilty. We don't know who is accusing him, we shouldn't know who is accused.

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

Agree with that Julie - far too much publicity for the accused, should be much further down the line...

Trial by Media can and sometimes does ruin a life. Even if proved innocent the damage is done, and mud can stick worse than superglue.
