It would be interesting to see if they will ever charge him with crimes in other countries
Maggie Barry a prominent journalist says he indecently assaulted her before an interview here
She gave him a verbal serve at the time then carried on with the interview all the while thinking sleezy prick,but feeling like she put him in his place
Apparently since she went public with the story after his conviction she has had 8 calls
7 were from young female journalists at the time talking about him groping at them in the same circumstances
But 1 was from a woman who was 8 years old in a care home when he visited in the 70s
The children were told he was like Santa and they had to sit on his knee whereupon he did thoroughly nasty things to them.
I suspect there is a giant dam about to burst on that one

Bindi Harris actually unwittingly summed her father up when she said he didn't have much time for them at home
He would go to his studio and pretty much ignore them
But would switch to his public persona if there was an audience
Another woman here who headed up parent line at the time also talked of the character switch
She had to take him around during one of his visits and says he was demanding and thoroughly unpleasant behind the scenes but switched into the character we all came to remember as soon as the cameras were on him
Narcissist springs to mind

Wiki have already listed his address as Wandsworth prison (current) and he has been stripped off his awards etc.

HonoursHarris had received a number of awards and honours. Following his conviction, many of these were rescinded.[108] Harris was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1968; he was advanced to Officer (OBE) in 1977, then to Commander (CBE) in 2006.[109] In 1989 he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM),[110] and was advanced to Officer (AO) in the Queen's 2012 Birthday Honours.[109] In 2001 he was awarded the Centenary Medal "for service to entertainment, charity and the community".[110]

Harris has received two honorary doctorates: from the University of East London in 2007[111] and Liverpool Hope University in 2010.[112] Following his conviction, both universities removed his honorary doctorates.[113][114]

In 2008 Harris was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. He was joined onstage by the Seekers to perform "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and his "Jake the Peg" routine.[115][116] Also in 2008, to coincide with the release of Art: The Definitive Visual Guide, publishers Dorling Kindersley conducted the "What the British really think about art today" survey and placed Harris above notable English artist Damien Hirst.[49] After being found guilty, the Australian Recording Industry Association removed him from the ARIA Hall of Fame.[108]

In 2011 Harris was awarded the title of "Best Selling Published Artist" by the Fine Art Trade Guild[117][118] and was made a Fellow of BAFTA the following year.[119] After his conviction, the Academy announced that his fellowship would be annulled.[1

He might end up in Slade Prison. Lashings of 'porridge' there.

I believe he will soon serve his time in a medical facility due to his health problems.

I had been wondering about his being a narcissist. If he is then he will have quite a different view of his past misdemeanors and may even have convinced himself that they never happened.

He has only got diabetes and a stent in an artery.

The medical staff in the nick will be doing his blood every day depending on if he is insulin dependant and the stent will keep the heart going.....mores the shame.

I think these videos need to be watched with great care.

There is a site called Children Have Rights In Society. Itgives a lot of information and makes a lot of claims about a lot of people.

If everything it says is entirely true it is a terrifying situation but Ireally prefer to wait until something is proved in court.

He will already be on the top benefits ie over 80's pension,no tv licence to pay +his wife will be getting DLA and someone will be getting carers allowance for her + DLA money for either a car or taxis.

And except for his part of the pension which I don't know wether will be paid or held until he comes out..

Yeah !!!!!!! they are poor pensioners...

That amounts to a lot of money even if he is in the nick.
