I see he's guilty, and is now awaiting sentencing on unconditional bail. The judge said a custodial sentence is likely. I find this shocking. Jimmy Savile was weird to say the least, but Harris always appeared to be gentle and a 'good chap'. I applaud the victims for finding the courage to come forward. This case disturbs me, as it knocks sideways one's pride in judging character. It's evident that anyone, just anyone, could be a sex-offender and hide it very well.
I actually met Harris many many years ago when our large school in Norwich was used for one of his TV shows. He painted one of his huge pictures, and sang several songs with our pupils providing the chorus. He also came round all the classrooms to meet the teachers. He made a remark about how attractive I was with my long thick hair, and said he'd 'never seen so many lovely-looking lady teachers in one school'. In hindsight, that makes me shiver a bit!
