"He now faces the possibility of losing much of his ?11m fortune after some victims contacted a law firm specialising in civil compensation claims over sexual abuse." And it seems that firm have already been doing some work with their clients. Victim "As a young girl I had aspirations to have a career, settle down and have a family. However, as a direct result of his actions, this has never materialised"

Jailed for 5 years and 9 months.

Or they felt so powerless that they want to hold the power when they're big enough to do it to someone else. Either way it's clearly a messed up mind. But someone like Glitter who would go out to countries where he could basically buy little girls is a world away from someone like Harris who in the majority of cases was an opportunistic groper. I think that's the main difference. The worst offences he commited were with his daughter's friend who was there for him to build up to over a prolonged period. Outside of that he'd cop a feel when he thought he could. But he never (as far as I know) went out hunting for girls to have sex with like Glitter. Still wrong before anyone suggests I'm defending his actions, but in my book not the same level as Glitter or Saville.

I often end up paying by card simply because I've drunk my way through my cash or I'm getting a bigger round than I'd expected. Or I'm skint and drinking on credit.

Even if he gets a lenient sentence he's still going to have to live out his years "underground". Press and MPs are now talking about him like he's on the same level as Saville or Gary Glitter, and I'm sorry but he's not. And that is not because he's lovable Rolf, and it is not to say he hasn't done very wrong. Glitter is a full on nasty kiddy fiddler, and Saville got to go to his grave with his secrets (even if he was a scary weirdo to a lot of kids like me).

Just did an image search, and don't recognise Caitlin at all. However, having seen these images I completely understand jctg's point about "wacky" faces.

Thanks ZT. Still none the wiser really, but I think I'll be able to battle on without her in my life.

Just approach and say "hey baby, do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?". It CAN'T FAIL!!!!!!

In an open prison. But he does have to spend a few nights in Belmarsh, which will probably be the worst few nights of his life.

Who is she?

Super fan passes away. Sad. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/david-harris-rip-1246594.html

I wrote "it's to see if f you" Er, just for clarity, that stray f was a typoo.

I think Quids' post was fair, and that anyone from outside of the situation that takes a firm side is a bit of a muppet.

vgrant, are you accusing Quids of doing that? Really?

Spot on Quids, and PD. And you really can't see it ever ending.

The politics comment was aimed at Sophron. You've called them gypos, that is a direct allusion to race / ethnicity.

Nothing to do with uncharitable, it just ammuses me how much it bothers you, that's all. And please stop suggesting that this has ANYTHING to do with left/right politics, that's just a nonsense.

Agreed. And if that is insulting to you, I'd suggest you need a thicker skin. That is not to say I don't really hope you're right. Cinema in FH would be bloody great.

Too bloody right, makes my blood boil.

I must admit, when I read a couple of the charges brought against him (like the autograph hunter) I thought that sounded like a bit of a stretch, and surely easily explained away. But then I read this line in a BBC piece "Much of it was too graphic for the mainstream media to report. Inevitably, it will have left the public with a misleading impression of the seriousness of the charges."

What Jeremy said. The whole situation is too complicated for me, but I was saddened but not surprised to hear Benjamin Netanyahu immediately respond to the discovery of those 3 teen's bodies with "we're going to crush them" type statements. Grow the fuck up!

It was cle's own words, not anyone else's. Cle chose to put a load of words in my mouth that I never said, and I think is rather enjoying playing a part here.
