Oh Rolf :(

it makes you wonder whats left to come out.

That’s what got him into trouble in the first place.

Are you saying that its OK if he is a Peadophile ?

Jokes really lose their magic when you have to explain them don’t ya think?

As despicable as these allegations are, why do the courts allow the publication of identities before any trail? Should he be found innocent, he will always have this hanging over him. On the other hand if he’s proven guilty, hang the b*stard.

It’s purely up to the good people of Singletracktowers, of course, but does anyone else think there should be a moratorium on “celebrity paedophile allegations” threads? I say that only because they never produce anything good, often upset people, and frequently contain borderline defamatory stuff which would make even a publishing megacorp nervous.

Charged with 4 offences are of making indecent images of a child in 2012

2012????!?

(the typo is from the Daily Mail, not my fault)

It didn’t come across as a Joke to be honest.

Which is why I asked.

It’s sad to think of a childhood “hero” turning out to a scum bag.

Then, just take some time to imagine how the victims must have felt all these years.

At least Tony Hart was just a playdohphile.

flatboy 😆

Wait until that tied up kangaroo finds a good lawyer.

playdohphile.

That was Morph, and his mate who no-one can remember the name of. (Not Mr Bennet)

and his mate who no-one can remember the name of

Milf?

CHAS

I am not sure what is so great about him as he is just a tv presenter.

Why people are so attached to celebrities I do not know.

🙄

this is not celebrity worship, he was a childhood role model and an icon.
sad sad news.

What a load of balls. Even as a child (and that was a LONG time ago) watching the talentless twonk on black and white BBC television (one channel only) I knew he was a total “light entertainment” 1950’s bore.

What IS the matter with you people? 👿

I wonder if Lizzies portrait he did is still up at Buckingham Palace?
He has royal connections so I’m sure this matter will be “dealt with”.

Woppit you are a insightful genius what more can be said 😆

I’m always on unclear on the ‘making’ indecent images bit. Does it mean he actually went out and took indecent images of a child or that he just downloaded/purchased them? If the former wouldn’t there be a another child or more who were also sexually assaulted in some way by him?

Anyone want an autograph with a rolpharoo drawing?

i agree with (someone above) re:
nobody should be named publicly until something is proven.
if they are guilty then hang the bastards, by all means, but until proven in court the general public should not be told about this type of thing.
it really could ruin a mans career when he could in fact be completely innocent.
my mum once said to me that she reckoned there were a lot of nervous old men in the world, seems she was right.

Very sd news…..

I bet Gary Glitter is sitting with his coat on waiting for the knock at the door again.

Just to think when we were kids all these tv personalities were part of a huge ring ( I guess) and we were all completely blind to it all.

How many convictions so far?

A guy I used to work with inherited some cash a few years ago and he bought a couple of original Rolf Harris artworks. At the time his reasoning seemed sound, Rolf is an old guy, very famous and once he kicks the bucket the paintings will be worth considerably more than he bought them for.

I wonder how he is feeling about his investment now. 😯

Torminalis, a chap I knew at my rowing club bored the shit out of me one day telling me about buying some Rolf Harris originals. He’d shelled out quite a few thousands on them too.

+1 on the keep it quiet until proven guilty – this trial by media does no-one other than the media any favours and leaves anyone in the public eye open to exploitation by fantasists and gold diggers.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY ought to prevail but look at the comments on here already, mud sticks.

In general I agree. however, in these cases it is often the publicity around one accusation that draws out other victims to come forward where previously they might have been afraid to do so.

+1 on the keep it quiet until proven guilty

I think it is terrible when innocent folks are dragged through the media. However, were it not for the Saville documentary, would all of those other victims have come forward? Would they have been able to make that show about the monks in Wales or wherever it was that which resulted in several people coming forth and thus strengthening the case against them? These were both aired before the living people who were accused were even charged, should they be illegal too?

The police are usually pretty cagey about revealing whom they are investigating, but once a charge has been brought, there is a certain sense in appealing to the public for further evidence for or against the accused.

“I`m a Celebrity, get me Out of Here” takes on an entire new meaning.

Sad and disturbing as already said…

Only to you, the rest of us got it and laughed.

Muppet.

assuming hes guilty then its sad(for the victims) but cant see why people are so shocked

celebrities are people too, just as likely to be arseholes as anyone else

Im sure plenty of people have no idea that friends, relatives etc are abusers

He should have gone to India and committed his crimes without this sort of recourse.

What’s the relevance of that comment ?

🙁
Is there anyone left form the 70’s who hasn’t been implicated/charged?

Weirdly.

Ian Krankie.

Now Jimmy Krankie always confused me:

*IF* I were to fancy her/him, does that make me a straight, a gay, a paedo, a milf/gilf/dwarf-lover, and/or a uniform fetishist?

Help.
