    You said young girl,no age specified, in a thread about a peado. Deliberate or not, theres an implication there.

    reason I didnt specify, was when I posted that I couldnt actually remember her age. Had to google, as it's been a good few years since I read the book.

    Which is called 'Ricky'

    Climb up here, Jack and don't be crying
    I can go just as fast with two

    i thought it was young girls he was charged with interfering with, are you suggesting it was boys too
    the link on this thread, just mentioned girls

    While I would judge Rolf Harris's actions to be potentially very wrong, I think we need to have a debate over what constitutes child abuse.

    Bearing in mind that one of the girls in this case was 16 at the time of one of the alleged offence, the other girls were 14 and 15.

    I think we need to look carefully at where the cut of point for child abuse/ paedophilia arises. Surely the substantive meaning ought to depend on the younger person's stage of maturity. Not some arbitrary lines drawn in law.

    No I'm certainly not suggesting it was boys.

    I think we need to see some of the evidence as well.

    Ya, wrong as it is, this sounds closer to 'hebephilia' rather than pedophilia.

    16, 17, yeah at those ages, you'll be at or very near sexual maturity. 14, 15, it would be much rarer.

    Just the tip of the iceberg. More arrests are to come, and I'm not joking when I say the entertainment industry is loaded with pedophiles, top to bottom. I remember when people were saying that Satanic ritual abuse doesn't exist, and sure enough stories come out of Jimmy Saville taking part in such events. I've read some sh** and seen enough to know that this is a very morbid reality, and its unfortunate that so many of these people are too well connected and protected to ever be exposed publicly.

    It's one thing discussing this stuff, but the people on that page seem to be taking actual pleasure and enjoyment from the fact that celebrities have been uncovered as child abusers. Not to mention the libellous stuff on the page. I just don't think it's something that should be made light of, but each to their own I guess.

    A lot of nonces seem to have been outed from the BBC of late which sort of implies it is/was endemic in the television industry.


    I wonder is our very own RTE harbouring a similar closet full of skeletons...

    So thats why he's no longer narrator on Olive the Ostrich.

    I'm sorry, but in the current climate people should be really, really careful saying these sort of things.

    Mississippi.

    Elvis only "started seeing", Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin who was 13. That's how you do it south of the Mason-Dixon line

    If Johnny Ball or John Noakes are implicated I'll need a very long lie down. They're two blokes I reckon are kosher.

    I thought Rolf was kosher though.

    He looks like a cuddly grandad and I loved him on Animal Hospital growing up. He was so caring and gentle on that show, this kind of allegation is so incongruous. Although we should remember he's convicted of nothing at the moment.

    I wonder if the indecent images are photos or related to his work as an artist.

    Or that Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year old cousin.

    Or that Bill Wyman was seeing Mandy Smith when she was 13.

    There's also Jimmy Page and 14 year old Lori Maddox and the Irish "individual" he used to procure her.

    Refers to having downloaded them.

    Four of them.

    I think the terminology "making indecent images" is legal jargon (in the UK, at least) for downloading and storing abuse/indecent images as distinct from the act of photography.
