The veteran entertainer and artist Rolf Harris is facing prison after being found guilty of indecent assault following a trial in which he was portrayed as a "Jekyll and Hyde" character who used his celebrity status to grope and abuse young women and girls.

So hard to believe when one has grown up with these entertainers who are so talented and always seemed to set such a good example to youngsters from all over the globe!

... given the fact that BOTH you and I were no more than young kids
Yes Arthur, I always used to enjoy his programs and I thought what an amazing painter, a sad waste of wonderful useful talent, It's all gone down the drain now!
Very sad.
I used to watch his cartoon shows and looked up to him.
And now Jimmy Saville has been found to be into necrophilia.
We just do not know anything any more!
I feel so sorry for his victims
He will have a tormented end to his life.
Mick.
Turns out he was a buddy of Saville.
Let's now wait for compensation claims to start flooding in...
Yep now 12 more people have complained - don't see how money makes it right?Let's now wait for compensation claims to start flooding in...
At 84 years old I cannot see him getting out. I half expect him to top himself. I watched a life story about him a few years back and he was suicidal when the BBC axed him from the animal hospital series.
Update ... disgraced veteran entertainer sentenced to 5 yrs & 9 months at Southwark Crown Court.

Totally inappropriate sentence. He'll be out in 3 years after being found guilty of 12 charges.
Yes, you're correct, Marco ... the same report concludes he's likely to serve only 3 yearsTotally inappropriate sentence. He'll be out in 3 years after being found guilty of 12 charges.prior to being Released on Licence.
, unfortunately ...
... is the way the Crminal "Justice" System operates in England.
The sentence has been referred to the Attorney General already lol - seems like some people want him to die in jail for sure.
His current age should make no difference to the sentence. 10 years+ minimum should be the basic going rate.
I completely agree but this will spoil an already bad day for Harris :-
A statement from Dominic Grieve's office said: 'I can confirm that the sentence handed to Rolf Harris today has been referred to the Attorney General’s Office under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.

Personally, I also feel that the sentence given was too lenient.
Age and status should make no difference to the sentence IMO
These horrible people affect the lives and freedoms of so many others.
I was at at art exhibition a few years back and there was a lot of art work by Rolf Harris at silly prices. I feel sorry for the people that bought any of this guy's work now. Only good for keeping the fire burning now.
Art work by Hitler is still worth a lot of money

Hitler is still looked on by a lot of Germans as a genius, he just moved too fast. Plus he did the honorable thing and topped himself. He commands a lot more respect than Mr Harris ever will.Art work by Hitler is still worth a lot of money
Saying that..... he did commit mass murder.
Wouldn't it have been better to just put him in one of those old people's homes that abuse the residents?

Hmm.

He is looking well for a guy that is 125 years' old this year.
His mother looks even better

My ex brought an art work by him a few years ago, a few hundred £££££££ she paid. I brought a house instead. I wonder whats worth more now
It's his SON !He is looking well for a guy that is 125 year old this year.

If I was charged with this and knew I was innocent, I think I would have been shouting like anything, he seemed to accept the verdicts ?
