Rolf Harris arrested on sexual charges

There is so much of this "historical allegations" stuff going on these days.
Now I'm not defending wrongdoing but I bet an awful lot of the celebrities from the 70s and 80s would be guilty of a grope n fumble with a groupie. Chances are they would be hard to resist. You have to ask why ALL the "victims" and I use that term guardedly have waited 30 odd years to put in a complaint. I know attitudes have changed now but back then it was accepted as just one of those things. There is a big difference between assaulting children and having a quick feel or snog with a fan who may have thrown themselves at you.

Shouldn't even be any media reporting on situations like this.
 
I know the public has a right to know, victims deserve justice, and perpetrators of these heinous acts need to feel the law.

With each news report you almost feel like every institution in this country is being hollowed out and draped in shame to the point where you don't want to know lest a once loved comedic genius, entertainer, or childhood figure is outed as an offender.
 
After listening to Radio 4 this morning I hear it's one alleged charge and sfaic it'll come to nothing I've lived close to and have known the man practically my whole life he's not the sort blatantly some chancer is just trying to see if they're able to milk the whole Operation Yew tree nonsense.
 
Operation Yewtree is basically a legalised fracking witch hunt. I guess history really does repeat itself.

I can understand victims wanting to voice concerns but seriously why now ? and why plaster it all over the media. Oh right 5 mins of fame.
 
This is getting ridiculous. Either the police are getting paranoid and implicating anyone and everyone from showbiz in the 70s or we were all duped by these guys and there was ring of paedophiles made up of 70s celebs !

Or alternatively due to the way the world was in those days they all thought they could play free with the laws of the land and people and act with impunity. And now its come back to haunt them as they are being held accountable for their actions. Shame if true I really like Rolf.
