Entertainer Rolf Harris named as British sex probe suspect


Veteran Australian-born entertainer Rolf Harris was on Friday named by media as one of the men questioned by British police investigating allegations of sexual abuse following the scandal involving former BBC DJ and presenter Jimmy Savile.
Harris, 83, was originally interviewed by detectives from Scotland Yard in November and was then arrested over the allegations on March 28 before being bailed until May
He has been a regular fixture on British TV for three decades and performed for Queen Elizabeth II at a concert to mark her Diamond Jubilee last year.
Harris had previously only been identified online, but he was named by The Sun newspaper on Friday and other news outlets followed suit.
He was held as part of the inquiry set up after hundreds of claims were made against Savile, although his arrest is unrelated to the late presenter.
The inquiry, called Operation Yewtree, was set up following the death of Savile in 2011, when hundreds of allegations of sex abuse, mainly of under-age girls, emerged.
London's Metropolitan Police did not name Harris after he was first questioned or following his arrest and have still not formally identified him in line with their policies.
There was no immediate comment from Harris's representatives.

Two little boys....

No , it was two little girls .

I hope it aint so. I think Rolf is the business.

^ yep.

The dirty Aussie barstard

There are some bars, some grey walls, a toilet and a big black man. Can you guess what it is yet Rolf?

^ fuck off. I reckon some old slapper has accused rolf of having a grope, probably when she met him in her 20's forty years ago and is now hoping for a compensation payment. (ok, I'm prepared to be proved wrong if the actual charges come out)

Point of order, is says arrested, but not charged.
The two are mutually exclusive no?

I can still hear me old grandma singing me "2 little boys" as she tucked me up in bed, and kissed me good night.

Do you remember Tax Exile defending his home town hero and personaility he had a drink with, Jimmy Saville, when those allegations first came out ?

I wouldnt know what a didgeridoo is if it weren't for Rolf.

Really, I would be very sad if he has been up to no good.

Although we all think of him as a bit of a clown, he is actually a very, very talented man.

He is a very good artist and author as well as all of his singing and tv work.

Say it aint so Ralf.

I hope not too. I used to love those big paintings he did.

I always wondered why he kept pissing himself laughing whilst drawing a picture of Tom and Jerry or Droopy whilst on TV.
Could it have been he had someone tickling his knackers under the desk?

Rolf paints the Queen and it's not the greatest of paintings , rubbish ,

Used to enjoy watching him paint on TV

I never liked him much when I was a kid; thought he was naff

as for the charges, we will have to wait and see

it does seem like there was a culture at the BBC in those days of stars taking advantage of young admirers

What age are you talking about though?

To appreciate his songs you're gonna need to be very young. Probably too young to think someone was naff surely?

My respect for him as an entertainer and artist only came in to being as an adult.

I wasn't bopping away to "Tie me kangaroo down sport" when I was 15 or anything.

What does that mean ?
Rolf was into the Coke, or had a big cock ?

Blimey, you're right
