She presumably no longer lives at home, so would have to meet them somewhere on the journey.  Kudos to her for being so supportive throughout.  It has been a long old haul, day after day in court.

Not supportive enough though to allow her therapist records to be opened to support her father's defence - unless of course they didn't support him which would suggest she knew the truth of what happenned - in which case she deserves no kudos at all 😞

Or ... maybe she wanted a shred of her own dignity kept intact.   She has committed no offence, but details of her life and relationships have been exposed.

In her cirs, would you have stood for the prosecution rather than the defence?  She must feel betrayed by both parties.

Perhaps I'm trying to be too logical whilst looking at what was a situation full of emotions.

I look at it this way,  the girl, (best friend of Rolf Harris' daughter), accused Harris of assaulting her when she was 13 and allowed her therapist's records to be examined by the court to support that claim, which they did.

His daughter also underwent therapy during a similar period.  Now if she knew nothing about any such assaults or they had never happenned then you would expect her therapy records not to mention them and would support her father's denials.  She however refused to allow those records to be examined which suggests to me she was either not supportive enough of her father to put his freedom above her own dignity - or - those records did indeed contain mention of the alleged assaults which if they were opened for scrutiny would be damning for her father.

Either way unfortunately I don't think she really deserves any kudos as you put it.
