Surely the cameramen, floor manager, producer etc will all have seen this happen?!
You would have thought that, wouldn't you? Trying to figure out why it isn't on youtube.

Derek Stitt said on ttter: 'Vanessa Feltz has accused Rolf Harris of touching her up in 1996. I think he thought he was sedating a hippo in animal hospital to be fair.

I did wonder, but looking at the screen captures in another article they were laying in such a way that her body hid his left hand from the camera. I think the show was run on a budget so possibly there was just a handful of people in the room? That said, there is a press photo in that article so there was a photographer running around!

It mentioned they have the tapes so I'm sure it's possible work out what his arm movements were doing and his overall positioning.

Personally I think it's all a load of bks.








I'm not talking about her claims, I'm talking about what Rolf (apparently) touched between her legs.

In all these 'Yewtree' cases, second only to the perpetrators the most vile people are the ones who "knew all about" all along and did nothing.
If a major takeaway from last decade was: "make all attempts to kill the hijackers now!"
Perhaps this decades will be: "report all sexually deviant behaviour"?

I've been looking at art for sale on an online auction site. Interestingly a Rolf Harris painting went for 35K after the verdict (1st July), the highest price achieved by any artist that week according to my search...

This seems to prove a BBC report today is as accurate as ever:-
''Experts say that since Harris's name has been tainted, his art - which previously fetched hefty sums - has become worthless''

Maybe they don't know how to search for 'sold items' before printing such inaccurate information?

Maybe the journalist is hoping to depress the market, buy cheap and cash in after he croaks + a reasonable period?

Or maybe they need a new 'expert' !!

Amongst all the frivolity I will toss this into the mix:
Some people ask :
Why didn't don't victims of abuse come foreward earlier.
Several reasons: Shame/ self guilt and another very unpalatable one

There was a very strong chain of thought in the 1990's that if you were a victim of child abuse you would end up an abuser yourself. I suspect that chain of thought may still exist.
It is yet another "burden" the abused has to deal with.

Any truth in rumours the Brazilian players have been disguising themselves as Rolf Harris to reduce the chances of public embarrassment?

Even now with the results of the trial in mind I still cant really see "creepy Pedo" in Rolf but old Jingle jangle is as weird and slimy as usual.

Every clip I have seen of JS makes me think "pervert", Rolf was obviously better at hiding it or in terms of perv-potential (TM) Jimmy was 98% perve 2% normal, Rolf was the opposite.

ETA: Numbers may vary dependant on evidence and trial transcripts.
