He destroyed that track with his wobble-board.
Unforgiveable. may he rot in Hell just for that alone.

I think most draw the line at paedophilia when it comes to eulogising dead folk.

I cant remember much of the case against Rolf...but I read he had one conviction overturned but was denied a chance to appeal the others.
Dont know why that is but he remained steadfast that he had nothing to apologise for.

Forget the pedophilia charges, the **** needed redemption for THAT advert(that seemed to repeat 50million times per day)

The one conviction was overturned, on appeal, the other 11 were found sound. on appeal.

Wesdag....make you dear right. TV interviews and trial by Twitter are not fair trials of evidence.

Yet, in the UK, Twitter has everyone guilty straight off. Definitely not defending Harris who was tried in court but some of the 'victims' were surely trying to jump on a hoped for gravy train.
