I have found three articles of interest in the Guardian - one written by a features writer on the differences between three abusers

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/03/rolf-harris-max-clifford-jimmy-savile-interview...

one written by a consultant clinical psychologist

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/06/we-know-what-rolf-harris-did-we-dont-know-why

and an editorial

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/04/guardian-view-rolf-harris-just-sentence

Times change and morals with them. There has been a great revolution over the past 50 years that has improved society immeasurably. It is not yet complete. Too many victims of abuse are reluctant to come forward for fear of being disbelieved. Stereotypical ideas of victimhood sometimes diminish the seriousness with which complaints are treated and make convictions harder to obtain

Whilst in many ways this last bit is true, in far too many others it is not.

'Victims' may be shown a token 'belief' by the police, but the stereotypecasting to and the actual belittling by the police of an incident they feel the 'victim' should have handled things better or to justify doing nothing is still far too prevalent.

If im honest there was always a Creepy element to Jimmy Savile. I think his eyes and the faces he used to pull did make you wonder if he was all there in the mind!!. Rolf was so normal looking too i suppose. He did not have that crazed look in his eye. Not that molesters do always have a look about them!.

I wonder which Parliament Members are shivering in their shoes now then?. Perhaps they joined in with Jimmy and Rolf in their circle of Terror??.
