On weekly television shows he painted, sang and played in my family living room.
He had easy access to many young children and a ready charm - the perfect play for a paedophile.
Most of us think of child molesters as the stranger in the park long dark cloak.
That is very rare. These criminals have to cultivate an easy friendly manner that gets your guard down and letting them access underage children in your care.
If you want a chilling description of the excuses and criminal profiles of sex offenders then look no further than clinical psychologist Nigel Latta's book Into the Darklands. Reading this changed my behaviour it's scary but compelling reading.
Rolf Harris classically minimises and defends his criminal behaviour. He calls himself "touch feely", blames the victim as misconstruing his 'friendly way.'
Calling the grooming of a child to be ready for his sexual advances an affair.
Get off Rolf it's wrong!
Complimenting a child in a bikini is wrong!
Putting your hands on a child's private parts wrong and criminal!
I am saddened disappointed with Rolf's behaviour and sexual offences.
I can't imagine what his family is going through, that's a very difficult place to be. Of course they love him.
And most of all my heart goes out to the courageous victims for speaking out.
Child abuse is the first act betrayal and not being heard or believed is the second.
Listen up mums and dads.
