Freddie Starr meanwhile, has been cleared of all charges due to lack of evidence.

Two Australian radio personalities have also come forward now and told of his groping ways.
I think most Australians wanted to believe in his innocence but it's getting very difficult now.

Some of the court evidence reported (and admitted to by him) is very disturbing.

Oh well, just get out the wobble board and sing the blues away ........make everyone 'feel' good.....

Did they give evidence in court? If not, what they have to say won't have any bearing on the trial outcome.

No they didn't appear and I realise their allegations will change nothing but some peoples opinions of Rolf.
As I said I really really wanted to believe him but the number of victims and witnesses is so large now.

i'm the same as you mugssy, want to believe he really is the honourable man he portrayed to the world, but there are too many witnesses  for it to be a mistake

He did admit to having a 'dark side' yesterday. To have two affairs, one over 10 years, involves deception to say the least.

On tonight's news they were commenting on the seemingly strong support from his wife and daughter, but then they showed his daughter getting out of the car around the corner lol

I read that he goes home alone every night and his wife and daughter are just there to *show their support*

Sasha Wass QC said: 'You have been coming to court everyday, walking slowly into court with Bindi on one arm and your wife on the other', and asked if they travelled home together.

Harris said 'no'.

Ms Wass asked: 'So it's just for the cameras is it? Coming in with them?'

'It's to show support,' he said.

(from Daily Mail UK, I think, read it on a blog).
