Rolf Harris is innocent until proven guilty, of course. But it struck me as sad that prosecutors have said (as quoted):
“We have determined there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest.”
Quite unrelated to Rolf Harris, I know the sharp pang of disillusionment one feels when an elderly gentleman whom one had perceived a certain way — i.e. basically honourable — reveals himself differently through his actions.

Speaking in code again Peter?
Yes, sorry. Obtuse for now. – P
Peter has every right to be obtuse … i’ve also experienced that rather horrible experience of finding someone that everyone held in esteem (including the hierarchy who supposedly were spiritually superior and discerning … over more than 2 decades … ) being found to be a common or garden perverted kiddie fiddler …
And to be honest … i always myself thought the guy to be a bit of an up himself , powerhungry over religious prick … when in actual fact he liked feeling young boys up in youth groups.
Who woulda thunk it …
Worst thing is i remember this guy preaching Jesus and worst of all .. the hierarchy openly endorsing him … effectively for nearly 30 years while guys i got to know … proved to actually have been victims of this dirty assholes attentions in church youth groups in their very early teens …
Doesnt matter what age they are Peter Aranyi … what really matters is they did it .. and for a time … they got away with it … often with the endorsement of idiots and morons who should know better.
