Just to define. Nonce in its medical sense.

Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, generally age 11 years or younger.

Having now looked into transcripts and reports I have some reservations about this case which I lay out below.

It is clear from the accusations against Harris, both before and since the case, are primarily involving women who are over the age of consent (the age of consent being between 16 to 18 depending on which country you are talking about.

Most accusers seem to have been older as in the case of the various TV personalities, journalists and other random targets he seemingly had a penchant for groping.

The underage accusations were:

The 50 year old memory of a women from an event, at a Community Centre that the police were not able to verify for sure that he was at. (7 or 8 years old at the time)

Another accusation where the victim claimed she was 14 at an event in Cambridge but it turned out to be 3 years later than she said by which time she would have been 17.

An Australian women who has already sold her story to a magazine and TV show, who is reported now to be trying to get her hands on her trial transcript possibly to resell her story. This women also claimed she lost weight in the week following the attack during the event she was at. But it was later said by another witness that the venue of the "attack" was actually at the end of the week. Additionally her ex boyfriend is reported to have said she made the story up. (14 years old at the time)

Finally the disputed abuse with his daughters friend. who broke up with him acrimoniously and who was obviously jealous from her comments about the housekeeper he was having an affair with after their breakup. Surely enough doubt regarding the underage stuff. She also tried to extort 25,000 pound from him. After they split up.

What I am saying is that if I were convicted of child abuse on the strength of these four scenarios I would not be happy. Would you accept this level of evidence against you.

It seems to me that the likelihood is that Harris was an over sexed groper who through his charisma had access to pretty women and took full advantage of it.
Frequently.

I am not convinced of the veracity of the under age stuff. There are too many cases in his history of adult victims i.e. in their 20's or older. He spent time with probably 10s of thousands of children over his career and yet no more child "victims" have come forward than the three questionable ones in the case against him.

If he were a nonce as people keep calling him then why don't we have more accusations of small children victims appearing -- referring to child molestations by Harris. They are exclusively people over the age of consent.

As i said before I was molested on a couple of ocassions by a man, when I was about 10 years old. So I have no interest in protecting a true child molester.

1 second after midnight on their sixteenth birthday and they're legal.

Based upon what's coming out I find it hard to accept that Harris was into underage stuff......Personally I feel the jury weren't rigorous enough here.

Still, the unwanted groping of women does appear to be built upon a surer footing.

I just find the whole thing very sad.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

For issues on whether this is related to underage charges or nuisance charges the Judge will have given strong guidance Stirling. Not to do with whether the Jury was rigorous enough.

It's a lot sadder for the poor people the dirty old git groped.
