Look at what word is on her clothes in the picture of her in this article....

http://www.smh.com.au/world/rolf-harris-accuser-under-fire-in-court-over-media-deals-20140521-zrjbc.html

Very spooky, especially if the word 'tree' was on the back.

true
She says nothing for 28 years..once she sees she can make money, back comes her memory

Even her story?
She comes back to Australia in a supposedly terrible state, surely someone would have noticed something was wrong?
i.e. her parents.. surely they would have pressed her to find out what was wrong.

I also find it totally unbelievable that anyone living now or in 1986 would not know what sexual abuse was.
I may accept her story if she had gone to the police somewhat nearer the time this happened.
Because of the possible monetary incentive, this evidence is not safe now.

I don't know if it was this one, one of the alleged victim demanded £25,000 for Harris not to go the police,
some victim!

I am still of the opinion that Barbara Jefferon is, these cases should be considered lapsed,
because of the time interval, and the doubt over these alleged victims motives.
Evidence should only be accepted from those that made allegations much nearer the time of these offences.
I would have given some years. I don't consider any allegations made now safe myself

just my own opinion

well your opinion is ill informed and wrong

aren't we lucky you weren't on the jury then, hey, but 12 of your peers just like you (maybe) found him guilty of all charges, do u have a better way for a trial to operate.

Who gives a flying fck about time elapsed, if you do horrendous acts against our moral standings as a society, you should be hunted down and brought to justice before a jury of your peers. Time will never lessen the severity of such despicable acts. and for anyone, like you have done to keep on about a statue of limitations regarding such crimes shows the empathy of a sociopath.

where have I said that pumphol? I said some people?????????????????????????????

He is fully entitled to his own opinion..although he has said mie is ill informed and wrong
I think he the one who is wrong

My concerns repeat
1. The length of time that has elapsed, how is anyone supposed to work out now, what and what did not happen?
2. Alleged victims could well stand to gain financially by their evidence
the witness here has already been paid by the media...just for making the allegation

what do you think this may be doing to justice......a very fair question

I am not saying the jury reached the wrong verdict, they probably did their best with the evidence on offer
and would have been directed by the judge...I am not totally certain they have reached the right one though, that is just my opinion

I have not looked at the trial in detail, too sordid for me
But did this person, present any witnesses, as to what happened at the time, in the pub?

Otherwise all you have is testimony from someone who has already been paid by the media for it
I am inclined to mdm's view

There will come a time when everyone will record and store everything they say
and do on a daily basis. This will be their own record and will be a safeguard
against other people...and the possibility of false accusations. Orwell was right
in his predictions but maybe also wrong....we would become more free if we did this.

Well it would certainly establish time and place here, I am not sure how
close the camera could have got to Harris's hand.

you don`t understand ebul, everything we say and do can be recorded in future and
kept by ourselves. This is something that people naturally are fearful off, but it
could have a liberating effect.
By:
ebulGery
When: 04 Jul 14 15:08
I thought that was what you were saying
in which case this incident would have been recorded..in fact you could then follow Harris's life in public
so we would then have had a bit more than just evidence from people who could gain financially

If no compensation claims are allowed...that would improve the chance of justice here
but stopping media paying people for their stories...a but more difficult to stop???????????

Police found a secret stash of child abuse images on Rolf Harris’ computer at home, it can now be revealed.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) wanted to put the veteran entertainer on trial for possessing indecent images, but yesterday the charges were dropped amid fears that the CPS ‘could be considered oppressive’ in light of his conviction for indecent assault.
Harris compiled a sickening catalogue of images of ‘extremely young’ children under 13 posing suggestively while semi-naked, with teddy bears in the foreground.

Detectives found a total of 33 indecent images of boys and girls downloaded from depraved websites named, 'Tiny Teen ****', ‘Little Vaginas’, ‘Youngest Teen Porn’ and ‘Young Little Girlies’ months after was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting girls as young as seven.

I don't know about Harris' case ebul but it is common for victims of historic abuse to bury their sense of shame very deep often for decades because they struggle to break out of the state of being subservient to the individual who has abused them. It is very common for these things to come out later in life when these people come to terms with what has happened and the fact that the individual who abused them no longer has the power the victim believed them to possess. This can come as individuals but that takes great courage and it isn't at all uncommon for people to come forward when they are aware that other people have done so. The majority of these cases aren't celebrities and that aspect allows people to make assumptions like you seem to have done that it is about the money. I'm sure there are easier ways of making a few quid than trying to convince the world you have been sexually abused in childhood.

'especially with people who believe everything they read in trashy papers.' well ...if the accusers had been lying I'm pretty certain they would have been found out by now.

One of the problems I have with this cases is this.

On count 2 in 1978 he indecently assaulted a 16 year old by groping her bottom, squeezing her left buttock a number of times. She has then said that an adult man could do that has made her feel powerless etc.

If we now are in a situation where you can have a charge against you for that, which took place 36 years ago then we are starting to live in a very dangerous place.

I am sure as night follows day that pop stars and tv stars of a bygone age will have slept with under age girls. Will they all be coming to court?

Will a girl that I slept with 20 years ago now decide that I raped her?

I am not excusing the other charges against Harris, he has been found guilty of having a sexual contact with children and he deserves his punishment. I just feel that we have to be careful  not to cross the seriousness and damaging effect of  paedophilia with someone groping a woman/man.
