He's innocent of 3 charges, but the others still stand. I have unease about convictions for 'historical' abuse, as there are no witnesses, or DNA evidence available. Doesn't mean suspects are Not Guilty, just that it is incredibly difficult to prove with certainty, particularly when large periods of time have elapsed. Still RH should get plenty of sex in prison,... No use to him if he's into 13 to 19 year olds. He might be lucky and get some 18 or 19 year olds but younger than that probably won't be in the same prison as him. Unless he asks for one as his last meal.

'making a sexual comment while stroking the bare skin of a 19-year-old’s lower back at a London music studio in 2002.' This is the type of 'sex crime' Harris is accused of. There is no abuse of minors here or even sex itself.

Yeah, if they're falsely accused they should. But that doesn't mean people who are not guilty. A number of accused celebrities were found not guilty, and then lost civil cases. Including Dr Fox.

What ever he has done or not done he has certainly paid for it big time. There are a lot worse scum out there who don't get anything like the coverage. I don't like picking on easy targets.

I have to say i am confused about what evidence he was convicted on. As far as i can see, its purely the word of the alleged victims from as far back as 50 years ago! Now it may be that he did do all this and is a dirty old geezer that needs to be punished, but having read alot about the case, i dont see upon what evidence he was convicted. Maybe someone can enlighten me ?
