Any potential criminal trial involving Rolf Harris could be prejudiced by a Wollongong woman's decision to go public in paid interviews about how she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the entertainer, a top QC warns.

This was an issue in the Glitter trial, and the reason, it is believed, that he was acquitted of the indecent assault charge - the complainant had sold her story to the News of the World first, with more money to come if he was found guilty.

No prizes for guessing who brokered the deal:
the jury was shown the agreement of 20th November 1997, brokered on behalf of the complainant, Miss Allison Brown, by Mr Max Clifford with the News of the World. Clause 1 promised £10,000 for a story about her relationship with Gary Glitter to be published on Sunday 23rd November 1997, and--I quote from the agreement--
"a second payment of £25,000 to be made on publication of a story should Gary Glitter be convicted of possessing child porn or any other charges relating to sex with under aged girls".
The complainant was cross-examined at trial almost exclusively on the basis that she was a gold-digger giving false evidence for reward. The jury acquitted.

Quite rightly so.
Anyone who has a vested (financial) interest in the outcome of a trial cannot be seen an a credible trustworthy witness, can they?
