Rolf Harris arrested on sexual charges

I smell a compo opportunity. I’ll say Jim’ll, Freddie Starr and Rolf gang-bummed me. Maybe if I throw another random under the bus it’ll seem more plausible? Ooh, Cheggers!
 
The law needs to change NOW

Unless you are CONVICTED then names should NOT be mentioned. It means you can ruin anyone's life on pure speculation and accusation. Wrong just wrong

I've been always thinking this for rape cases all along, the counter argument never washes with me.

I'd have to agree with this, controversial as it might be.

When I was at uni I had a friend whose life was utterly destroyed by a false rape claim, all because his name was leaked. Well, that and the lying woman who made + pursued the claim all the way to court until she admitted she'd made it up because she was drunk, got caught and felt guilty about having to admit it to her fiancée.

Yes, but what if, for example, Rolf was your baby sitter? Wouldn't you want to know? Also he has been arrested twice and now charged so there must be a case to answer.

I think the problem with these cases is that when they keep the details quiet then it makes the accused look like a paedo where as it could just be an unwanted adult drunken fumble. Most of the other accused celebrities have just flat out denied any wrong doing - e.g. Jim Davidson - where as Rolf has managed to gag the media for 5 months whilst allegedly checking into The Priory so who looks guiltiest?

I do really hope that Rolf doesn't turn out to be a paedo though!! :(
 
He stayed in my house (B&B) in the late 80's. watching Rolf's Cartoon Club on TV with him sat in the living room was cool.

He also came to my primary school and drew rolfaroo's on the blackboard. :D
 
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.

sfaic ?
