Accusations like these stick no matter what the truth is, which always leaves a feeling of doubt.

@@BANKO007 And of course, now that Rolf’s gone, the media can say whatever they like without a danger of being sued! 😕

Yes, they can say whatever they like … such as in an article on a tabloid site which included the brother of the late Wendy Rosher praising her “courage” in accusing Harris … even though her claim had been overturned at the Court of Appeal, as her stepfather had testified she’d never met Harris and her story couldn’t be true!

He sent a letter of apology to the victim's father to try to soft soap him into not going to the police. He was convicted in a criminal court and subsequently imprisoned. Wtf more do you need? 🤦‍♂

I’ve wondered whether a certain other celebrity might have been the actual intended target of Operation Yewtree, someone who might have had knowledge of a great many goings-on which the Establishment didn’t want to be known (I’ll leave you to guess who that might have been) and if the investigations/ prosecutions of Rolf and others were a smokescreen to conceal Yewtree’s real purpose…

Rolf was definitely set up!

I assumed it was American civil war, but it could have been based on any earlier conflict, involving ranks of cavalry.

@@andrewclayton4181 Rolf was of Welsh birth and raised in Australia, so there is no reason to suppose he was singing about the US Civil War. It's far more likely that the word "blue" was chosen purely to rhyme with the word "new" in the song line that followed! Cavalry was used all round the world for more than two thousand years, and in all colours. With his British heritage and knowledge of military histories, the American Civil War wouldn't have occurred in his - or any other British mind!

He was singing about American Civil War Soldiers. I remember a radio interview he held about it , when I was a child. It was a favourite song at the end of Drunken NAAFI nights.

It was about the American civil war. One side wore blue, the other side grey. Those colours are mentioned in the song. It was known at the time as the 'war between brothers ' . Do some research.

just look at the bbc website where the 12 charges are laid out. common sense should tell you to dismiss at least half of them for their vagueness, the other half are about one person whom he did not actually assault.

@@natmanprime4295 nonce sympathy

The whole thing was a set up. What Rolf had done to him was disgusting.

@@JohnSmith-su3ze I agree it was a set-up, but the question I’ve been asking myself is what was it intended to divert our attention away from? I think it’s a reasonable guess that the tabloid media was looking for a story that would take the focus away from their own phone-hacking scandal which had been rumbling on for years (including tapping into the messages on a murdered teenager’s phone, which had aroused indignation and caused the collapse of a long-running Sunday paper) and the scandal around Rolf and other celebrities was the ideal headline-grabber to achieve this and boost their circulations again! We know the government had a connection with the tabloids (one of the figures in the phone-hacking trial had been on the then-prime minister’s staff) and therefore they’d be willing to go along with this. Surely it’s no coincidence that the phone-hacking trial was ongoing at the same time as Rolf’s? A very dirty business, in my opinion.

His parents we're Welsh...

Where was he born and raised and why did he take an Australian accent for his whole life if he was Welsh? If you’re born and raised in Australia you’re Australian, surely.

@@Jude_OutHere His parents moved from Wales to Oz, he's Oz by birth . Back and forwards. Probably felt the attachment to UK and work.

Rolf harris abused a 8 year old girl anc many other girls you should know

I was a DJ (briefly, because I was a truly atrociously AWFUL DJ) in the 1970s, and was astonished by how many young girls would sidle up to me and offer themselves for my gratification. Sadly, I was too ingenuous to be able to take them up on their obvious offers 😏

He molested a eight year old girl fool

@@ANONYMOUS-xd3eu The conviction regarding the 8 year old was quashed. Evidence was discovered that proved he wasn't at the community centre. The Court of appeal refused a retrial on the other charges, even though the jury was told they could used evidence from one claim to support others in the original trial. I have no idea if he was truly guilty of the other charges, but the evidence was not strong, and defending yourself from allegations from decades ago is challenging to say the least.

He was a pedophile and rapist.

He didn’t commit the crimes he was charged with. If you haven’t read the book by the private investigator whose team gathered the evidence that helped to secure his acquittal at his second and third trials, then you should do so now. One alleged victim who certainly won’t be living a joyful life is Wendy Rosher, whose claim at the first trial of having been assaulted at the age of seven was overturned after Harris’s new team established he’d never met her (AND that the police investigators had known this before the first trial but had kept quiet about it!) Ms Rosher died several years later. It’s a sad story, but also a sordid story of greed and corruption, made possible by the world we live in now.

What is tragic is the pain and heartache that last a lifetime for the victims of a vile pedophile.They are the people who need the sympathy !!! Not the filthy perpetrator.He will forever be remembered and hated for the crimes he committed against innocents.I pray that he is already stoking the boilers in hell.

@@louiserawle8999 Read “Rolf Harris: the defence team’s special investigator reveals the truth behind the trials” by William Merritt, it’s a vital book for anyone with any interest in the case.

@@gregorypope602 You are blind to the reality of people who were assaulted by him, you are basing your criticism on a doubt which, if it had any merit, the weight of charges leveled against him would have been proven false, so where is the evidence in anything that you have said which concludes beyond reasonable doubt that the charges leveled against him are false. True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge but the refusal to acquire it. Seriously, your comment is naive in the extreme, a "Private Investigator's" opinion doesn't carry the presumption of innocence to any meaningful conclusion just because the veracity of one particular account by one particular witness is scrutinized by him and discredited. An acquittal means that according to the language of the laws used in and applied to the case, certain parameters needed to be complied with in order for the charges to be upheld, that doesn't mean that he is innocent, it just means that the language of the law has certain requirements which need to be met by compliance with those parameters. When multiple witnesses come forward who have no historical connection other than the one point of focus which is entirely centred on Harris's lascivious lusts, and they are all providing first hand accounts of shared experiences that match, and which cannot all be discredited with finality, then the certainty of his guilt is carried by the weight of that personal evidence provided by those witnesses. So unless you are calling all those witnesses liars who have for some outlandish reason fomented some hysterical conspiracy against Harris just to make him look like a pedophile, you really need to consider why your personal need to protect Harris's reputation is such a feature in your life. Seriously, you think the "present state of the World we live in with all its attendant greed and corruption" has compelled a group of people to humiliate themselves by creating a fictitious story of having been s*xually molested just to tear down a prominent entertainment personality with something as filthy and diabolical as Pedophelia, for personal financial gain....!?!?!?!? Get real.

@@nicolasrose3064 Thanks for your reply, it gave me a good laugh! 😊. I’m afraid you’re using a great many unnecessary words to state what’s essentially a very simple (and if I may say so, naive) opinion: “These people didn’t know each other, why would they make it all up just because one of them was proved to have done so, and about such a disgusting subject? You can’t believe they would do that just because private detectives say they would, do you?” Again, you really do need to read the private detective’s book on the subject, even though I suspect you won’t! The first point which you need to grasp is that the fact the first charge on the sheet even made it to the trial showed the incompetence of the police investigators handling the case. A statement by the complainant’s stepfather that his stepdaughter had never met Harris, who had never been to the location in question, should’ve been enough to disqualify the accusation from further consideration. However, the police chose to ignore this and instead rely on a statement from a known local petty criminal and fantasist to bolster their case. So that’s the first thing you need to understand- the police were failing to do their job properly and carry out a thorough, unbiased investigation. Instead they were affected, it seems, by ‘confirmation bias’ which made them refuse to consider any detail which showed Harris’s innocence. Therefore it was necessary for a private agency to carry out the work which the police had failed to do. Unfortunately they weren’t around to do this for Harris’s first trial, but for his second and third trials they did their job superbly. And this brings me to another point you’re trying to make - that all these people who came forward couldn’t all be making it up, could they? I’m afraid that when Rolf’s new defence team started looking into the claims for those second and third trials, that’s exactly what they did find. (Again, the police had failed to do this themselves. ) For example, there was the former hospital patient who claimed Harris had assaulted her on a visit .. and who then went to pieces when she was told a member of staff who had been present in the room with Harris and the patient, and whom she’d thought to be dead by now, was in fact alive and able to say that nothing of the kind had happened! And then there was the claim, by a woman who worked for a local radio station, to have been assaulted by Harris in a taxi on Jesus Green in Cambridge, which was also the site of the allegation made by the woman known as ‘Miss Cambridge’ at the first trial. In fact, this allegation was used to support that of Miss C’s at that trial before it became itself a charge against Harris at the two subsequent trials. However, Rolf’s defence team was again able to show - using testimony from the production team of the Star Ganes show which Rolf had been performing in at the site - that no taxis were used .. and that in any case you wouldn’t need a taxi to travel a distance of no more than 100 yards between a site by a bridge and a swimming pool! So the accusation which had originally been used to support that of Miss Cambridge was itself thoroughly disproved when it was put under scrutiny. I could give on about this for some time - also showing how a “bad character witness” is thoroughly discredited in the book - but what you need to understand is that there are indeed many people who will invent false accusations - either for financial gain, or in the case of folks like the local radio presenter, because they think it’ll give them some degree of authority on a particular issue (Rolf’s defence had said she was trying to position herself as a ‘go to’ figure on the subject of sexual abuse, which was probably correct) and they’re not fussy about the sordid nature of the accusations they’re making! As I said, it’s pity Rolf’s private detectives weren’t around for his first trial, they’d have done as excellent a job on that one as they did for the other two. I think they could’ve made a great deal of the fact that Rolf’s name as the subject of an investigation into the initial allegations against him, by the woman he’d had a consensual affair with for around 10 years, was leaked to the media well ahead of the time it was supposed to be permissible to do so. Of course, this provided an incentive for others to come forward .. such as the Australian actress whose partner was ready to provide testimony that she’d lied, only for her to accuse him of assault before he could do this … Wendy Rosher of Leigh Park, whose own stepfather refuted her claiim … and ‘Miss Cambridge’ whose supporting story by the local radio presenter was itself disproved at the later trials. In fact, the whole case against Harris has been shown to be so flimsy that it’s a wonder that people like you continue to so passionately support it. Of course, real sexual assault is a terrible thing which should never be countenanced … but neither should false allegations whose credibility fall apart when, or if, you take the trouble to examine them and to test them. That’s what “getting real” is all about! 😊

"Quite possibly the most inaccurate documentary I've ever seen" I found this video to be unwatchable, because of the errors. The footage purporting to be of 'Opportunity Knocks' is actually from the 'Q' series by Spike Milligan, with John Bluthal as Hughie Green, and the picture shown on screen when he mentions Lulu, is of the soprano Marlis Petersen, when she appeared in the opera entitled Lulu, composed by Alban Berg. The entire thing is the video equivalent of cut and paste crap.

@@Earhairy Yeah, I nearly died when the picture of 'Lulu' came up 😆

It is just as important to recognise Bindy, was just as much a victim in this personal saga those scars never heal.

That's a whole other story.

He didn’t commit any crimes. The worst he did was to have a clandestine on-off affair of around 10 years with his friend’s daughter, after she’d reached the age of 18. She was bitter when he ended it and made sure her dad and Rolf’s family knew all about it! When Operation Yewtree blew up, she saw a way of getting revenge on Rolf, whom she’d already tried to blackmail over the affair, and made a series of allegations against him. While Rolf was under investigation, his name was leaked to the Press well ahead of when it should have been permissible to do so, and other accusers jumped on the bandwagon. Since the police were anxious to get a conviction after their previous failures with Bill Roache and Michael Le Vell, they took all the allegations at face value without any proper investigation. After the first of Rolf’s three trials, he employed a new legal team with private detectives to fully investigate the charges at his second and third trials. The evidence that was unearthed helped to acquit Rolf of all the new charges, and afterwards the charge from the first trial of assaulting a seven or eight-year old was overturned, as testimony from the complainant’s stepfather and other local residents showed Rolf had never met the child in question or visited the area where the assault had supposedly occurred! (The police investigators had been told this by the complainant’s stepfather before the trial, but chose to ignore what he said…) I suggest you read the book about Rolf’s trials by the head of the private detectives, it’ll tell you all you need to know!

@@willsum3794 It was rhetorical.

I am starting to think men have two brains, one is selfish, not thinking of the situation, wanting to express yourself sexually, a kind of addiction. The other brain is not sexual, and most of the time is reasonable. The difference is being in control, and not being in control. It is about being yourself, it is about merging with Love. It is about knowing who you are, .It is about being in control. It is about controlling sexuality. Some or sometimes we don't make an effort. We give up trying to control our sexuality. Men need to train the other brain, where is this other brain, is it in the prostate or the prostate. I think it sometimes does not work properly, stress, or over exercising it. But this second brain, you have to make it aware of when you are not happy with it, when you find your behaviour will be frowned on, you are not in control. We, well I at least 99% of the time don't give it a second thought, only when my behaviour worries me. The worry, somehow the second brain eventually understands, it is the second brain that has to be controlled. Be patient with your second brain, it will listen to you, just give yourself time, it will understand that you feel uncomfortable, but this control is much easier as you get older and wiser. Our second brain is the first stone. Humanity is not liked, eBook series 'Religion Separates Man From God.'
