Loz Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It's always hard to tell where the truth lies in these, but it's worth noting that one of the women at the centre of the case sold her story for big bucks to an Aussie magazine and a TV station last year. I always find that suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otta Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Beat me to it *bob*.I don't know if it's just because I want Rolf to be innocent, but something does come over a bit off with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Poste's Child Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I know what you mean, but he's admitted it, hasn't he, just mot admitted to the underage part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisa Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I struggle to find anything about Rolf horrible. I hope these allegations are found to be untrue because I have always looked upon him as a great charitable person. Louisa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDeliah Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

first mate Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hasn't he also been charged with making/possessing indecent images of children? If, along with all the various witnesses for the prosecution, that is true it looks more likely that he is guilty as charged. Don't want to believe it but fear it is the case.

Loz Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 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.

Cassius Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I am also really saddened by it being Rolf - I expect Queenies portrait has been surruptiously removed and put in a dark place until the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratty Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Still praying for Edmonds here!Very sad about Rolf. It started out as a joke shortly after Saville, that Rolf was being investigated for doing 2 little boys in the 70s.I was on animal hospital once, but Rolf was ill!

sydenhamcentral Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 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.?
