Here is the link and was 2012. I'm not sure if all the details are the same as it doesn't mention that the wife of the celebrity was present
which I think would have been an important thing to mention.

This interview in 2003 with Bindi says quite a lot about her own interest in art and what it was like living in the shadow of her famous father. She seems to have been a lonely child, which is sad, but did mention she had a few school-friends at the all-girl's school she went to in Kent. Towards the end of the interview, she mentions difficulties which hint that all was not well. She doesn't mention a best friend, though, but maybe that wasn't relevant at the time.

Here are the judges sentencing remarks.

Not easy reading in some parts and makes the sentence more understandable. It seems it was a bit more than the off bum grope.

Bear in mind though there was no independent witnesses beyond those abused (even though at least 2 of the offences were supposed to have occurred in public arena's and around people) and who are positioning themselves to get at his £11Million estate.

Well, after finding different articles to read and doing a lot of thinking I decided to go onto the above link and read. I found myself asking questions like ..
'how could that have happened?'
'why did that happen for a second time?'
'how was that possible given the circumstances?'
'why does that differ to something else I read elsewhere?'
'why on Earth did 'C' go back if she had already been assaulted?'

(as Jon pointed out too).

Exactly Marian. I think it all leaves reasonable doubt. If an 84 year old man is going to have his life destroyed and be sent to prison, there should be no room for any doubt. You wonder whether Rolf Harris has ended up paying for the sins of Jimmy Savile.

As I said previously, I don't believe the celebs who are being dragged before the courts are completely innocent when it comes to sex abuse, the whole of the entertainment world is grossly over-sexed – and thrives on it; remove the obsession with sex from the entertainment and pop world and that world fails to have any purpose. But I do believe the powers-that-be have deliberately allowed the celebs to become a diversionary smokescreen, a scapegoat to take the public's attention away from the big-time criminals in the Establishment. Rolf Harris is a relatively soft target, the real big-time criminals are probably somewhere on the other side of the 'justice system'.

I think that's probably right.

I don't get the Vanessa Feltz claim at all. Her dress went down to her feet and this assault is supposed to have happened on live tv and in front of his wife and the crew. If you see what she was wearing I cannot work out how that is possible. And she says she decided to cut to an ad break.... I wouldn't have thought presenters could do that on a whim.British TV shows are highly produced and scripted and presenters generally do as they're told by editors/producers/directors.

If she'd suddenly blurted out "let's take an ad break" that would have been a major incident and those in charge would have demanded to know why she did that. They'd certainly remember it.

Someone like Vanessa Feltz cannot be taken seriously. She has a bit of a colourful history herself..

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Feltz

Quote:
After she left university Feltz moved from temping work to writing for The Jewish Chronicle then the Daily Mirror.[citation needed] She often specialised in sex advice, writing for the magazine Men Only, and her sex tips for girls book called What Are These Strawberries Doing on My Nipples? I Need Them For The Fruit Salad![4] She also presented a Jewish radio show on BBC GLR (now BBC London 94.9).

My bold.........

Her remarks should be seen as 'jumping on to take advantage of the publicity bandwagon' after the furore regarding Harris.

Meanwhile back in the real world it takes the Russian state broadcaster to indicate how deep the Westminster allegations go...

Quote:
At least 40 UK politicians complicit in alleged Westminster 'paedophile ring' – report


Just think if Leveson had 'gone there way' none of this would be allowed to come out now..

It appears now the game is on and Yewtree as a distraction by arresting a few celebs has failed.

Bloody hell, that is one of the worst posts I have seen on here for a very long time! Vanessa Feltz has been grumbling about misogynistic social media remarks following her complaints, and this must be the sort of crap she is talking about.

Are you saying a woman cannot be taken seriously regarding allegations of sexual assault if she has had a 'colorful history' - aka, has written sex tips for a magazine???? Jesus! Are you a member of the Taliban!! :)

Even for you Geezer, thats a bit strong. I suppose the slut was 'asking for it' interviewing Rolf on a bed?
