I don't know why, but I can see Rolf bouncing back from this. Not that he should be allowed to but there is just something about this case. It don't know, it's weird. :/
I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,283
These things always are.
Some of these guys are sexual predators who should rot in jail.
Other's were stupidly, naieve and didn't know what to do when near adult girls threw themselves at them.
That they're being treated like full on rapists decades later, is uncomfortable to say the least.
I know it's stupid to base things on 'feelings' rather than facts. (Although we don't have the facts anyway, so we couldn't if we tried.) But I just don't get the feeling that Rolf's a wrong'n at all.
I think he's more of a "child man" who may well be more immature than his alleged victims
I mean Saville and Glitter really do come across as sinister and predatory.
He indicated depressive episodes in the television programme with Piers Morgan. It was interesting as his wife and daughter were there too. But I am not sure that such programmes are useful. "Face To Face" wasn't helpful to Tony Hancock. While the seriousness of the charges mustn't be underestimated, I think he requires some sort of counselling support and hope that the legal system has the sense to provide it.

These two are ugly, troll like people. Whilst no oil painting, Rolf (he's called ROLF ffs) doesn't fit the s'typical image.
Are you saying it couldn't be Rolf because he's too pretty?
I'm saying it's easier to demonize the other two.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the oh-so-sane world..
Poor girl. 
F**k me. Is this stuff really happening...?
Her parents made to watch before being carted off to a prison camp. If there is any country in the world where regime change would be actively supported by all then this is it.
I would like someone to explain why these girls (who were 14 or 15 at the time) wait 30 years to report it.
I am naive on these matters so I don't want to offend anyone by a stupid question.
Is it so they can 'move on', or at last be believed or more sinister motives - really, I don't know.
Well, only they can say! And I doubt they're on here...
They have nukes and millions of starving potential refugees Obama would eat Kim's poop before he took action
They killed one general with a mortar shell that's at least well imnaginative

It's by no means uncommon. Shame, fear of family disapproval, unwillingness to upset the apple cart, don't really know how to report it , scared of giving evidence.... the list goes on. These are often not confident, protected, articulate young people. The abuser will play on their fear of not being believed.
Or they could be lying.
