Current Events > Convicted Sex Offender Rolf Harris - gravely ill with cancer

(+) Yeah! (+)

Disgraced Australian entertainer and convicted sex offender Rolf Harris is reportedly gravely ill, has cancer and is being fed through a tube.
The 92-year-old, who was released from prison in 2017 after serving three years following a guilty verdict on 12 counts of indecent assault, is living in Berkshire, England.
The Daily Telegraph reports neighbours say he is largely a recluse.
His health also took a downward turn earlier this year following the death of his poodle, Bumble.

Yeah, I loved The Little Convict as a kid. Now it gives me the ****shivers.

I feel somewhat bad for him. He's a scumbag, sure, but dying within the same month of your own deceased pet is an incredibly sad way to go.

Like the hurt he leveled against the women he harmed will never really be made right, but that's a pathetic way to go in the sort of way that I honestly kind of pity him. It's the way that a lot of old people go. You lose your one attachment to the world and you follow it right after - my nan and pop might end up the same way.

He's a scumbag, but it's still sad.

I get that, I really do. Its definitely a situation that invokes pathos.

Since hes entirely unrepentant and mocked his victims, for me it doesnt evoke pity, it makes him pathetic.

I loved his art shows as a kid.

Which is the only nice thing I feel like saying in this topic.

That's a fair point. He did make songs venting at the sort of people who put him in jail, after all. It's just a fucked up state of affairs.

Oh no

anyway

Like others have said I too used to enjoy his programmes like Rolf's Cartoon Time and Animal Hospital but after what the scumbag did I have no sympathy for him.

Condolences to Cancer. Hope it can be removed from the human parasite eventually.

RIP Bumble
