She has came forward 18 years after the event why didn't she come forward when the allegations about Harris started coming out especially if there is video footage of it? She is nothing but a publicity hungry attention seeker and is giving this story purely for her own ends and probably doesn't give a toss about any other victims

How is the veracity of victims' claims determined in cases like this where there may be no witnesses, and no evidence? What's to stop fantasists, attention seekers, people with false memories (surprisingly common), and those simply exaggerating the true events, from ruining someone's life?

Or even those with an eye on the dreaded compensation urged on by the compy lawyers all after their cut.

It's the DPP who decides to prosecute, after stringent examination of the evidence. Not the ''compy'' lawyers. Fantasists, attention-seekers and such-like are usually weeded-out by the intensive questioning of the investigating police officers who take the original complaint. They do sometimes get it wrong, obviously, but when, as in Rolfie's case, there was such a weight of incriminating evidence and testimony, there is no choice but to prosecute.

 

Oh, and then, of course, there's the small matter of a jury to convince....

Yes. It's a difficult balancing act. Number of cases been prosecuted recently though and failed to convict. Hell and back to be there in the glare of publicity with your reputation traduced by an anonymous accuser. The "compy" lawyers are definitely around looking at what assets they might get their teeth into after the fact.
