Thread Name: Rolf Harris - sex abuse charges
Subject: RE: Rolf Harris
Innocent until proven, I believe.

I still support Rolf...and I feel there is something very, VERY wrong about these allegations against him.

The Foul Ones are all over Facebook about this, especially on his main page. I've written to whoever runs it to suggest they de-activate it for the time being, rather than let these hateful people do what they are doing...

'sexual assault' covers many things, from the bad to the barely noticeable. You cannot judge how we all lived 40 years ago with how so many live today, ready to accuse men of anything at the merest touch.

With regard to the photos of children, again, none of us know anything about this and this is not linked to the original two women from decades back, but to a very recent moment in time, apparently. And again, none of us have seen the photos, nor know why they came into being. There may be a perfectly innocent story behind this charge...

I truly don't know....neither does anyone else.

I know this though, that I have heard so many stories of love and support for Rolf, of deep kindness and genuine concern, of people whose lives he touched in goodness, who have nothing but praise and love for this man.

He brought joy into my life as a child and he did the same for my children.

He's on record, ages back, as saying he suffers from deep depression at times, long before any of this happened...

And please, just think on this...I took photos of my children sploshing around in the bath, naked, when they were small. I have exactly the same kind of photos of me as a little girl taken by my parents, but...BUT...it wasn't very long ago that someone was reported to the police for taking such photos of their own children, by some politically correct, messed-up idiot, who deemed such photos to be paedophilic...(and no, i don't care if I've just made that word up.)

I stand by Rolf Harris in every way possible...and also, please remember that one of these women made exactly the same kind of allegation against another person, but withdrew that shortly after.

Tell me, if she was telling the truth, why would she have withdrawn that allegation?

I also seem to have it in my mind that these two women may know each other...and live in Australia....but I could be wrong about that..
