It doesn't look good but wait and see. He may still be found innocent.
I hate this culture of blame and pillory before an investigation has been concluded. Let the authorities do their work and we will see. Again though, i have to say, it doesn't look good.......
The alternative is a society where anyone can be accused of anything without any evidence to back it up - a truly frightening prospect.
For example, taking your screen name as a base, can we start a rumour that Rolf only wanted to work on Animal Hospital because of his long standing fondness for bestiality?

Why is it silly? Your screen name is Rolf Harris, he is in the public eye. It is a demonstration that tales can be made up about anything, without anything to back it up. 30 women saying something is not evidence of anything, it is hearsay. Yes, it demonstrates that the issue needs looking into and investigating properly but at this stage it is not proof of anything. In court, that would count as witness statement. Do you realise that convictions cannot, by law, be made on witness statements alone? Corroborating evidence is also required. This is mainly to prevent huge miscarriages of justice, where people are convicted without evidence.
Like i said initially, it doesn't look good for Saville. Judgement cannot and should not be made though until the investigation is complete.

I'm glad someone started a thread on this. S&F.

I have to say, i do not like being in the position of defending Saville! (never thought that would happen, always thought he was weird). I just firmly believe it is fundamentally wrong to castigate and vilify and generally pronounce judgement on something as vile as this without any proof being established first.

Jimmy Savile is VILE, there's no doubting his guilt.
Peadophillia runs rampant through the high ranks of Masonry, Parliament, the Police Force, The Social Services, and many other organisations.
Yak!
