Thread Name: Rolf Harris - sex abuse charges
Subject: RE: Rolf Harris
While I agree that culturally accepted sexual mores were definitely more permissive back in the old days, and in particular where underage teeny boppers were concerned; the thing that rings the loudest bells for me isn't so much the possibility of misguided sexual adventures Harris (and many others) may have engaged in with non-legal but fully willing and sexually active teens during his youth and heady days of fame, but in his possible recent creation of paedophilic images of children. If he was merely innocently snapping fun times with family, all well and good. If not, I hope he gets thoroughly shafted. It's not unnatural for young men and teenage girls to have sex, it can be illegal certainly as well as abusive, but it's not always abusive. Old men / women and young children is a different matter entirely, in any sexual context.
