Awesome post, not!

I was a "late comer" that made a complaint to police about my step father when I heard there were 3 girls that had made a complaint about him. His niece was also a late comer as she found out about the complaint too.

We both made complaints because we found strength in the actions of others, enough for us to finally come forward after 18 years of suffering.

Out of the 5 children he faced charges on, the two late comers were the more serious with mine being the worst. By the way, I endured 4 years of violent and sexual abuse.

It is not easy to come forward after an experience like that in a community that wants it kept quiet. Sometimes you need some help.

Comments like yours make me feel really ill.

I call them scum bags as well.
Do you always make this same assumption about women who claim sexual assault by footballers too?
All these women will face the scrutiny of court and the ordeal of being labelled as asking for it or just making up stories for money.
More women are coming forward because now they feel empowered and that they will be listened to.
Harris was a very powerful celebrity who got away with what he did for so long because of his stature.
There'll still be some who don't come forward because they feel ashamed or for other reasons.

I hope all his money gets taken and used to compensate victims and others in similar circumstances. His family, like him, don't deserve a pound of it.

Funny how celebrities seem to get away doing illegal things, be it touching up people, and massive drug habits etc.
Yet so many people know that it was/is goes on, yet they say nothing. Disgusting!
They must share some of the blame for these ongoing crimes by their inaction in remaining silent over the years.
They come out of the woodwork in the media now, to say what went on.
Why didn't they say something before??

filthy business all round.

I wonder when priests and government officials will be brought to the same level of the justice system.

this whole affair just makes me sick.

anybody touches my grand-kiddies and they won't make it to court.

for F###s sake Rolf.......you were supposed to have been one of the "good guy's".

No, I don't think they do actually. I would say its more the unknown ones that creep around for ever unoticed or not brought to justice.

There has been many public people who have been slammed, and rightfully so. Also for a celebrity it would effect them more than any private person .... and again .... rightfully so. It is life ending for them no matter the verdict or the sentence. .... rightfully so.

It would also be very hard for some to come out and admit what has happened in the past. Many wouldn't believe and after a few decide to speak up I am sure the momentum picks up and what seems to be unbelievable becomes believable. Cant blame someone because they couldn't face it after the fact. It would take guts I think.

Me thinks you need to learn consent laws (remembering each location will have their own laws to abide by).

On consent: It's only 16 in all states other than Tasmania and SA. It's 17 in those states. Additionally, in victoria 12-15 year olds can have sex as long as their partner is not under 12 and there is no more than 2 years difference.
At 16 you're covered, unless the other person is in a care or supervisory role. This has changed. A few years ago having sex with a 16 year old was fine as long as you weren't over 21, or under 14 (see 12-15 year old ruling).

Let's keep in mind though, Rolf's youngest victim was seven or eight

The reaction isn't very positive about only 5 years and 9 months. I guess the court don't expect him to live very long..

5 years 9 months for the rock spider, good result.

More charges are likely to be coming so the creep should die in gaol.

Thanks for that, the offences occurred in the UK where the age of consent is 16.

Rolf's sentence is now under review as being unduly lenient.

He did not show a nanosecond of remorse, why then should the justice system.

I think this payback from the establishment (subtle payback from from the highest levels). We've all been duped by Rolf, he is being expunged from the history books so to speak, he is likely to rot away in prison.

Many more scumbags on the list, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Yewtree and there is RC happening here in Australia. Hopefully our kids wont face these risks and others who suffered will have some closure.

Talking to a old school mate and he said, remember that grade 7 teacher that would come up to ya and tuck ya shirt in for you if it was not spot on.
It was totaly imbarising and we called him a name that you can't call anyone nowadays for fear of the PC mob coming down on ya like a tonne of bricks and from my point of view and most of my generation and going right back to moses, i thought the Political Correct mob were the biggest backward low life creeps you could think of, with all there sickining gruby dictating point's of views supporting evil weardo demented peoples rights.

In France i thought grabing a woman on the rear was an everyday thing.

And grabing a womans rear was what they liked and i have never had one complain and i have had many woman grope me and all.
And i am not talking about kids hear.

What I'm struggling with is the level of impact on some victims for in some cases what I read was a once off event involving groping. From what I read not violent or aggressive but rather wandering hands, in one case 42yrs ago. Yeah, it's filthy and abhorrent but how did that one event psychologically damage someone to such an extent that it ruined a life. Or did that event become something to tack blame onto. Everyone processes things differently I guess. I guess I'm only standing on the outside looking in and don't fully comprehend how someone can't get past something even as ugly as this. The closest I've come to sexual abuse is on the odd occasion getting my nuts twisted in a rugby tackle. No comparison and I have no perspective. So I guess I have NFI. Stuff like this reminds me how lucky I've been to live the good life I have, and to be compassionate to those who have not been so lucky...

Not to many Maori's ever try to have me on, yet some may look big but they are mainly weak as and could not fight to save themselfs.

But i was talking about my self before i was married bro, 20 + years ago and a young man out on the town, what do you think a bloke is out looking for.
Mainly in my bastard of a small town you were looking for two things at night and mainly it was easyer or more common to end up into a fight at the end of a night.
I have had more fights than you have had hot dinners bro and i never went for anyone who was taken but had woman come to me but had to carm them down because there boy friends may of been a friend of mine etc.

Hey ! and when a woman want's a man, a woman want's a man, i have found. you try turning them down. it's a hard job to do i tell ya, without them going off the rocker.

I work in the courts and kiddie touchers and rapists are not only segregated but placed in an all together different prison. Speaking to the guards there they are placed in the outskirts of Ararat prison which is low security. Some of them have their own rooms and are free to wander around.

Some also get supervised day release so they can see their parents / friends. They are escorted by 2 plain clothed Prison Guards.

So anyone who thinks that they will even see the inside of a general population prison, and will be bashed by hardened criminals are completely wrong. Even when they are down stairs on trial the pedophiles are kept completely seperate and are not let out with the regulars accused.

Prisons have to provided a duty of care, even though we all wish people like Rolf will suffer.

In reality people like Rolf end up with similar minded people in a seperate low security prison.

I've said enough on this forum about how I feel about paedophilia to justify how I personally feel about it. I'll reiterate for the ignorant one's who have not personally experienced it first hand - I seriously doubt many of you commenting have dealt with it.

Those poster's that have stated that 20 - 30 years is too long for someone to come out of the woodwork is too long and are only chasing coin, total ******* bullshit! It takes a lot of guts to accept what has been done to you as a child from people that you are supposed to trust - you feel ashamed for years later. You feel you've got no-one to turn to, you suffer in silence. It's something that you had no control over as you were a kid.

Take a walk in my shoes and see what you reckon. I was only interfered with once when I was 11yo, just after my Dad died. I feared for my life as a lad by these two *********.

Swear filter will probably kick in. I was forced to masturbate with a banana peel, take a ***** in my mouth, and be sodomised - all to the enjoyment of two "men" at 11yo.

Good on those girls for speaking out, and may those who are treated unjustly get justice - no matter what the distance in time. Filth like Rolf that prey on the innocent have no idea of the damage they do to a person.

Cheers!
