Thread Name: Rolf Harris - sex abuse charges
Subject: RE: Rolf Harris - sex abuse charges
Well, I'm sorry, but it was VERY common for young women to get their bottoms pinched, back in the day...especially on the London Underground trains at rush hour when everyone was packed in like sardines...I know because it happened to me and to many of my friends too...but we thought very little of it, other than mild irritation and trying not to laugh when looking at a sea of "It wasn't ME!" male faces around us....

HOW many men here can put their hand on their hearts and say that their eyes have followed a 15 year old lassie wiggling down the street? How many men can tell me that they never kissed a 14/15 year old girl, back in the day, when they were a similar age and the hormones were just starting to rise?

HOW many men can tell me that they NEVER danced close to a young girl at a disco, hands on her bottom, if she allowed it, or quickly removed, if she didn't?

The whole description of 'sexual abuse and indecent assault' covers many, many things, from the most mild to the most serious....

Apparently, even telling someone a sexually orientated JOKE can get you into trouble if your 14/15 year old girlfriend holds a deep grudge against you later on...

So, watch out guys, for you might be next, even if it all happened 30 years or more back...
