Rolf Harris is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, September 23.
Full details of the charges are as follows:
I find this quite sad, if it's true. I wasn't surprised when it came out about Jimmy Saville, I always thought he was a bit creepy but it seems like they're arresting absolutely everyone who was famous in the 60s/70s on tv now. It feels more like a witchhunt than anything else.
Obviously, I'm not privy to all the information and/or evidence they have on the likes of Rolf or Freddie Starr and the rest... but I don't know. It was a more innocent time back then and I'm not convinced that things that people frown upon now - cuddling a child, tickling, etc, I mean teachers aren't even allowed to pull down a pair of tights if a child has hurt themselves to check for blood on skinned knees - are being turned into something that they're not.
Maybe that's naive of me, but I just don't believe everyone was up to no good.
