GUEST,TK Roy Harper charged 2013, cleared 2015 (163* d) RE: Roy Harper charged 22 Nov 13


It remains to be seen what the circumstances are about the accusations against Roy Harper. I am 57 year old woman who has been a fan since I bought one of his albums in 1970 aged 13. I love the later album that came out a couple of years later with the Forbidden Fruit track that has been discussed. Of course any coersion, exploitation and abuse are totally horrific and utterly,utterly unacceptable but would it have had to be like that.At13/14 I would have been fantasising about a tender/loving version of the activities. Would it have been a crime just because of age when as people have said that's a legal definition. Was I wrong?.Would I had been really been abused if I'd had the opportunity? Would he have been wrong ? Would I have regretted it ? I'm not sure but I feel confident we are not talking about hands up skirts and sleazy fumbles like recent cases. I know I am open to accusations of naivety but at 15 a friend lost her virginity to a member of Hawkwind and another was having a relationship with a 26 year old DJ. Nobody talked about it being abuse.I wonder how they feel about it now? I know for sure that life is not black and white.
