freda underhill BS: Mudcat Censorship in Rolf Harris thread (221* d) RE: BS: Mudcat Censorship in Rolf Harris thread 04 Jul 14


Back to the theme of Rolf Harris, having intercourse with a thirteen year old is not on, it's right that he's been convicted. An Australian journalist who reported on the case commented that many of the assaults Harris was accused of were very offensive and much more than "groping" but details were not always given to the jury and therefore to the public for legal reasons. Just as all the Australian witnesses' Australian cases couldn't be investigated because the victims' experiences were outside British jurisdiction. The court found that he is much more than a dirty old man, he is a sexual criminal.

In Australia we're currently having a Royal Commission into the sexual abuse of children and people by institutions. This covers religious, sporting and charity organisations, institutions,churches, schools,holiday camps etc. Its acknowledged that the average time it takes for a survivor to report abuse is 22 years.
