Sometimes you can't even pretend to be surpised.

I find it hard to believe that, he is homophobic, racist and been through several marriages, a goodlooking jack-the-lad, not one I would have thought to be pervy. Girls would probably have thrown themselves at him - jail bait if you like, now they come back years later bleating about it.

AYG, "good looking"?? Lol

After reading about Rolf Harris's arrest, nothing shocks me with this investigation!

[askyourgran]

I used to think he was OK myself, a naughty twinkle in his eye, and I don't think I would have been the only one bluestone. I didn't know Rolf was involved in all that.

[Bluestone]

I should just point out, Rolf was released without charge.

[Maydup]

...there was me thinking he was just a homophobic, racist, wife beating failure of a comedian.

You forgot "alcoholic", Maidup. He's now in recovery, but he had to have a half-bottle of brandy at the side of the stage, so he could take a good glug of it when he went on, and top himself up at breaks.

[DTCwordfan]

who was the other?

[jno]

hang on, nobody's alleged anything "pervy" against him yet, have they? Yewtree is about sexual abuse, but it needn't involve children.

[DTCwordfan]

Bluestone is right- you can be formally arrested if the police think that you are a material witness to a case, not necessarily the criminal, but being dishonest in your testament could, potentially, lead to "perversion of the course of justice" charges.

[DTCwordfan]

jno is right; it involves allegations, one presumes rape or sexual interference, with two 25 year olds.......

[jno]

I've heard that that's also the case with Max Clifford: they're not saying he's abused anyone but they're concerned about information he may have from his clients. All subject to what charges may subsequently be laid, of course.

[FredPuli43]

You are never arrested as a witness in England. It would be a bit pointless, since you are told that you need not say anything and might opt for that course. The police have to have some reasonable grounds for suspecting that a crime has occurred and you committed it. However, the crime might be that you acted to facilitate a sexual offence or that you took steps to conceal it and the offender when it had occurred, thereby assisting the offender.

[DTCwordfan]

semantics but yes, you are right, fred, aiding and abetting............

[askyourgran]

You did say 25 year old?

When was Rolf arrested Bluestone? I have not heard that. Was it before Christmas? I read an article earlier that a celebrity who had been a children's presenter who is now in his 80s is in the Priory Clinic under suicide watch - been in there over Christmas as he is suffering so much with mental issues at being unfairly accused. Would it be Rolf, if so I doubt it very very much.

Bluestone:
"After reading about Rolf Harris's arrest, nothing shocks me with this investigation!"
Why?

[DTCwordfan]

that's what the Beeb News said, ayg......

haven't heard about the Priory, Ann, but it was about a week to ten days before Xmas...

[Maydup]

Where did you read that Ann? Do you have a link?
