Indeed. The link between art techniques and sex crimes is well documented.

He admits to having sex with the daughter's friend and even wrote a partial confession to her dad when he realised she'd been scared of him, but said it wasn't when she was 13 - 19, as she says, it was when she was legal and it was consenting.


Horrible to think he's a nonce, but it looks like he was/is.

Agree.


I vaguely remember watching his TV programmes as a child where he did some amazing paintings, but only began liking him as a presenter when he started doing 'Animal Hospital'. He came across as being so compassionate and caring. Also when presenting the more recent 'Rolf's animal clinic'.


As an animal lover myself, I admired him for his dedication. It was as if it really meant something to him other than just fronting a TV show.


Really hope it's all a mistake but not very likely judging by what has been written in the press.

Actually, the letter isn't at all incriminating as the papers are making it out to be. It admits an affair, but reiterates that she was of age at the time. The Gruiniad published it in full here...

How did Rolf and co get away with it? I think Roald Dahl summed it up in Matilda.


?How can she get away with it?? Lavender said to Matilda. ?Surely the children go home and tell their mothers and fathers. I know my father would raise a terrific stink if I told him the Headmistress had grabbed me by the hair and slung me over the playground fence.?


?No he wouldn?t,? Matilda said, ?and I?ll tell you why. He simply wouldn?t believe you.?


?Of course he would.?


?He wouldn?t,? Matilda said. ?And the reason is obvious. Your story would sound too ridiculous to be believed. And that is the Trunchbull?s great secret? Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it?s unbelievable. No parent is going to believe this pigtail story, not in a million years. Mine wouldn?t. They?d call me a liar.?

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
