Jenny Hopkins, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for the CPS in London, said:
“Rolf Harris used his status and position as a world famous children’s entertainer to sexually assault young girls over a period spanning 18 years.
“The victims in this case have suffered in silence for many years and have only recently found the courage to come forward. I would like to pay tribute to the bravery they displayed in coming to court and giving evidence. That bravery and determination has seen Rolf Harris brought to justice and held to account.
“Each victim, unknown to the others, described a similar pattern of behaviour; that of a man acting without fear of the consequences.
“The prosecution of sexual offences is often difficult and complex, perhaps even more so when the allegations are from some years ago. We will continue to consider cases and wherever there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest, we will work with police and victims to build strong cases which can be put before a court.
“I hope today’s verdict provides other victims with the courage and confidence to come forward no matter who is alleged to have carried out the abuse and when.”

Anthony I think you are extremely brave, by coming forward. None of us will ever understand what trauma you may have suffered at the hands of some beast. Child abuse by people in power is being hidden, and a lot of noise now needs to bring those who sweep such abuse under the carpet, out in the open. unfortunately it can only be done by brave soles such as yourself who now can, with the help of the right people, bring to task all those people who engage with such barbaric deeds. WELL DONE ANTHONY.
Yes, Anthony shows great courage to come forward and deserves to be congratulated. His example enable wicked paedophiles to be identified and convicted.

I wonder if he will make it into the dock for sentencing, 84 years old… he’s had a good innings… I think he will be back in the headlines before Friday’s apperance.
‘and wherever there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest’….what does that mean exactly, ‘in the public interest’? Is this literally a get out of jail free loophole?
Do we know what the sentence is yet?
Sentencing is on Friday
# JUSTICE @ LAST,I HOPE YOU ROT BEHIND THE DOOR?
