The moment Rolf Harris' name made it to the press, his reputation was vaporised by speculation and condemnation.

The words "child abuse" have not been formally raised in this matter.

The only leaked allegations I have seen suggest that he had a tendency to grope women in the BBC lift and the matter has nothing to do with the Saville saga.

Not an admirable notion of itself but why not leave all the pedophilia remarks until the charges are made public?

Does anyone have a link that provides more
on the allegations against Harris?
What exactly is he suspected of having done?

Feminists in particular have long held that publicising the names of suspects in the media is essential, encouraging and facilitating other victims to come forward. They say that victims need the support of other victims in an environment where the law is said (by feminists) to be insensitive, obstructive and opposed to female victims.

Now for the hair-splitting where a favoured entertainer is concerned.

Not arguing one way or the other, just watching with a packet of popcorn.
