The Sunday Times journalist Camilla Long pitched in too, publishing an article saying "There wasn't a part of my body he didn't fondle" and she was left "giggling out of horror and fear".
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2767360...months-arrested.html Clearly ridiculous hyperbole, as if anyone would giggle in horror and fear and if he had touched every part of her body, it would have been sexual assault that she could have reported rather than waiting years to go public but declining to support a prosecution or give evidence. I can't stand her. Her articles are always the same: bitch, bitch, bitch. She has nothing good to say about anyone.
There were apparently some interesting goings-on in how Operation Yewtree handled this case. DLT's barrister, Stephen Vullo, is quoted below in his questioning of DS Gary Pankhurst. That police officer was later reported in the Australian media to have gone to Australia with a colleague to question accusers in the Rolf Harris case (Stephen Vullo later represented Rolf Harris in his second/third trials (acquitted) and appeal (one count overturned)). That presumably would have included the woman who sold her story to the Australian media a year before the trial and I am positive copied an earlier Jimmy Savile abuse story.
...Detective Sergeant Gary Pankhurst told the court "thousands" of police hours had been spent on the investigation into Mr Travis.
Cross-examining the officer, Mr Vullo said: "There are some very troubling things that have happened in this case.
"I don't suggest you have done anything wrong but I don't absolve all police officers of wrongdoing."
Mr Vullo told the jury there was "evidence" that an alleged victim, who claims she was assaulted by Mr Travis at a pantomime, had been "tipped off" by police that the Chuckle Brothers could not remember an incident she reported.
The woman, who initially said she had seen the comedy duo during the alleged assault, later changed her evidence to say she only heard them walking past, the barrister said....

Jim Davidson said in his book No Further Action that Operation Yewtree police had tipped off one of his accusers and enabled her to firm up her story.
I've always suspected something odd happened in the Rolf Harris case, as the woman who sold her story to the media and I'm convinced copied the Savile story - as both stories shared multiple parallels - and was therefore making it all up had a story that echoed that of Rolf Harris's main accuser in key ways: they both claimed to have been groped on his lap and assaulted outside washing facilities after he lurked outside - this latter allegation being one of the main accuser's most serious allegations as she claimed she was only 13 at the time (the youngest age at which she claimed Rolf Harris assaulted her).
The question is, if the Australian woman was lying, how could she have so neatly "corroborated" the main accuser's story?
