Brits and Aussies - Did you see this coming?

Many of you will be aware that over the past few years there have been some high profile cases of famous people being on trial (and, some, found guilty) for sexual assault/abuse, often dating back to the 60’s and 70’s.

Some of them probably weren’t really that surprising but the most recent case involving Rolf Harris really shocked me. I can honestly say that when the assault charges came to light last year I was genuinely quite gutted that someone who, as a young child watching Animal Hospital, I had ‘trusted’ as being ‘one of the good guys’ had such a dark side. For me this was the ultimate case of looks can be very deceiving. I even found myself hoping that it wasn’t true because I didn’t want my idea that Rolf really was a nice guy to be shattered. That’s not to say I wanted him to be found not guilty if he actually was, I am pleased for the women involved that justice has been served.

Did you see this coming? Have you ever been disappointed when someone in the public eye has turned out to be a bad egg?
