It seems very unfair that she was allowed to change her story in court to align with his appearance in Cambridge but that his memory lapse should be interpreted as lying. She was interviewed by ITV. (I also seem to remember a video clip of her being interviewed by Susannah Reid, wearing what looked like a long dark wavy wig and with her back to the camera...Google, Google...here's the image.) What she claims were the effects of the alleged encounter seem far out of proportion with what she alleged he did all those years ago. She's all over the place, saying her recollection was so vivid it felt like five minutes ago, but couldn't remember in court how old she was, what event it was or where it happened, saying she couldn't bear to look at his picture for 25 years, yet tried to catch his eye in court. Wouldn't be surprised if she never got near him, merely remembered he had attended an event in Cambridge. Interestingly, police did not release her full victim impact statement (" At the request of 'B', police did not release the full statement from complainant 'B'. source)

If the Mirror's coverage of Rolf Harris near a school didn't already seem sinister and a possible risk to his and his family's safety, this seems to clinch it:
"Keeping our children safe is the number one concern and paedophiles released into the community either respect there are boundaries limiting where they can go and who they see, or law and order will break down.
Harris either stays away from schools or there will be trouble."
www.mirror.co.uk/news/voice-mirror-rolf-...is-entering-13958183
Plus, the photos in the article apparently show him much closer to the school than he actually was. They also don't show him waving at anyone. Did the photographer see that but wasn't quick enough to capture it, or did it not happen and was it inserted into the article in order to give it some substance and stir up the readers by implying that he posed a risk to children by interacting with them?

That's my recollection too, Sheba Bear, and I was surprised that the trial was allowed to continue. I wonder what the jury did during those days. Would they have been sent home until the junior gave the defence summing up or would they have had to come into court and, if so, would they have been somewhere together where they could actually discuss the prosecution summing up?
Regarding gullibility, I initially thought the police must have let themselves be misled, but now I'm not so sure. There were rather neat parallels between the main accuser's story and Tonya Lee's story, and I don't see how that could have happened without some help. I think they wanted to nail him.
That is a very good point, Jo, but I think anyone can be taken in if they allow themselves to be.
I remember even posters here (Mostly with higher than average intelligence, I suspect?) firmly believed the codswallop about the crummy community centre even when the impossibility was pointed out.
I think once we are told something we tend to hold onto the belief even when contrary evidence presents itself.
