This is not a joking matter and the posters who treat it as such are a disgrace.
What of the children who were molested by this monster-what of their families?

I'm pretty sure they won't read this. Plus he is charged, and not yet convicted.
Funny I still have a copy of the record he made called Vancouver Town where he
mentions the Vancouver Times that went broke and the BC Lions went from the
Grey Cup Champs to last place. I have the other hits he had too.
This is actually sad because its not only a problem with children its a general
betrayal of trust if he is convicted

I don't believe Rolf did anything.
There's a bit of a witch-hunt at the moment by London's politically-correct Metropolitan Police against any middle-aged famous male. Soon every single middle-aged famous male in Britain is going to have their doors kicked in at 3am by the cops and taken down to the police station for questioning - as has happened to many so far - just on the hearsay of some dopey 45 year old woman who says that he molested her when she was 15 despite the fact there is hardly any evidence and it's somehow taken her 30 years to report the alleged crime. Hardly a week goes by without another male entertainer being arrested for allegedly abusing girls many many years ago.
Just last week the verteran comedian Jim Davidson was released by the cops without charge after he was arrested on suspicion of raping young girls in the Eighties. Some women claimed they were abused by him as young girls, yet the cops could find not a shred of evidence for it and I suspect the same with happen to good old Rolf.
Here's what the Daily Mail's Richard Littlejohn has to say about the whole silly affair:
Dave Lee Travis (pictured) is awaiting trial and maintaining his innocence. Others such as Jimmy Tarbuck and Rolf Harris are in legal limbo, neither charged nor able to clear their names

Let me make it clear yet again: the police have a duty to investigate all allegations of serious sexual assault. If there is a case to answer it must be tested in court.
Their tactics were certainly vindicated when former It’s A Knockout presenter Stuart Hall admitted committing a string of sexual offences against young women, many of whom came forward only after he had his collar felt.
But from the outset there has been the suspicion that the police were arresting people first and asking questions later.
Their entire modus operandi has been to create an impression of guilt by mounting high-profile, mob-handed arrests for the benefit of the television cameras. The presumption of innocence has been turned on its head.
This week, Davidson was told that he would face no further action over allegations that he sexually assaulted ten women. So where did all these allegations come from in the first place?
After they have already made an arrest, po-faced police chiefs hold press conferences at which they announce that they take allegations of ‘historic’ sex crimes very seriously indeed and appeal for other ‘victims’ — their expression — to come forward.
They hope to flush out enough ‘victims’ to establish a pattern of behaviour which would allow them to bring criminal charges.
In the case of Jim Davidson, the Crown Prosecution Service obviously felt that none of the evidence against him would stand up in court. Sex cases are notoriously difficult to prove at the best of times, often boiling down to ‘He said, she said’.
Davidson is adamant he has never forced himself on a woman. So what motivated these ‘victims’ to come forward?
Was it, perhaps, the prospect of a fat pay day if he was convicted? The BBC muddied the waters when it announced that it would pay compensation to anyone assaulted by Savile or Hall on its premises.
As I wrote at the time: ‘How long before every woman with a signed photograph of either man, or a 40-year-old ticket stub from Top of The Pops or It’s A Knockout, slaps in a claim?
‘It’s not so much a matter of how they could ever prove it. How could you ever prove they were lying? Easier to write the cheque.’
This week, it was reported that the BBC had agreed to pay £33,000 each to 120 of Savile’s alleged victims, at a cost to licence-payers of £4 million.
How many of the women who claimed to have been assaulted by Jim Davidson thought they might be in line for a nice little drink if they said it happened while he was presenting the Generation Game or Big Break?

You just can't never tell and appearance isn't a good indication. Look at the local T.V. reporter, Ron Bencze, saw him every day on the news for years until one day it was announced and he was subsequently found guilty of molesting dozens of young boys over a period of several years. I certainly thought Rolf looked like a stand up guy and hope that proves to be the case.
shoot! Who was the loose lipped ninny who clued BlackLeaf in on our frivolous law suit cabal? Why for generations now we've been able to keep secret how we plan to spend our middle aged years, framing men for abuses. We've been able to keep the inner workings hush hush, yet here he is, having found it all out!! And not just suspecting, but CERTAIN! Ladies, who let slip? Fess up now
Apparently Rolf Harris has now been charged with at least 13 different offenses so you probably won't have to frame him. I have three of his LPs(anybody remember what an LP is?)
Our cabal is fine! Pretty sure it's only British middle aged heterosexual men that are being framed for abuses. Every one else apparently deserves what's coming to them. (Not just the Yanks and homosexuals but especially the Yanks and homosexuals.)
hmv still has an lp section.
I think that's 'again'. I think they're all the cool thing now?
I was watching a show, contemporary setting, and the aunt of a teenage girl who died (sad I know) would go sit in the girl's room and listen to her vinyl records. My daughter told me a lot of teens now have turntables and vinyl.
See I knew if I just held out long enough, I'd be "in" again.
you're right. hmv removed the lp section then brought it back.I think that's 'again'. I think they're all the cool thing now?
