There can never, ever be excuses found for subjecting children to this depraved behaviour.

In most cases I would agree with you wholeheartedly Tara.
In this case, there is substantial reasonable doubt concerning the evidence.
Simply to condemn him to a life in prison you have to ask yourself 'What if he's innocent' and should you ever find yourself accused of something you haven't done you would be happy for someone to question your guilt....There have been many miscarriages of justice over the years......and this one is by far on the doubtful list....

That piece of scum isn't innocent, what about the child porn that was found in his home, was that planted?

Quite right Julie, since the Jimmy Savile affair there have been many aggrieved victims coming forward. They didn't realise that they were victims, today's society has made them so.

google Rolf Harris on Wiki Tara, it explains why the case against him was dropped concerning the computer images.

My link to it on an earlier post seems to have been mislaid......

From wiki:

The four counts of making indecent images were related to the Protection of Children Act 1978, which interprets viewing images on a computer as making images. The charges were brought after detectives examined Harris's computer and found 33 images of possibly underage models amongst thousands of adult pornographic images. Harris never entered a plea on the charges, as his lawyers argued successfully that the charges should be severed from the twelve sexual assault charges and tried separately. In the aftermath of Harris's conviction, it was reported that his legal team had obtained the identity documents of the models involved, confirming they were adults over eighteen.[107] The websites Harris had visited, according to the Internet Watch Foundation, are not known for illegal images of children. The prosecution informed the court that they would not be proceeding with the indecent images charges.

Make your own minds up.

Re: Rolf Harris

In which case he is clearly a deviant and treated as such.

Re: Rolf Harris

I'd want the court evidence to decide. That he wasn't charged for the images makes me err on the side of wiki in this case.
