Surely not?

Stop it you guys, you'll upset chinny. Remember how uppity he got when you all named rolf.

"In 1988, Savile was appointed by the Department of Health as the head of a taskforce overseeing Broadmoor."

What. The. Fuck.

He abused a corpse? I'm not convinced that should be a thing. It'd be like abusing a steak, or a fish finger.

In Central Europe, until 200 years ago or pre-modern times, it was notable that if a betrothed girl passed away before her marriage day could be celebrated, the spouse could still consummate the ceremony by having sexual relation with the body.

[...]a steak wasn't once someone's mum.

Say what?

Animals do not have the same rights as humans.

WTF why is that calf so so small?

They are disfranchised, so the King of the Jungle can hold on to his seat of power. I would have thought you'd have been all over this zoo-facism in your current mode.

I agree.

Do you mean it shouldn't happen or shouldn't be against the law?

Shouldn't be against the law, like drink driving and attempted murder.

Necrophilia is illegal to avoid spreading disease, I remember hearing.

Cavey beat me to it.

I agree.

Morally, it's pretty abhorrent and it's certainly taboo but I do understand why the question of illegality is being raised. I don't think you can abuse a corpse, it's not a person, it's a thing; it'd be like having sex with a mannequin.

Sorry guys, stating the painfully obvious here: what about the *relatives* and loved ones of the deceased? The person may well be dead, but they'll still want the body to be treated with the respect it deserves, in all respect, memory and love for that person, not to have it defiled by some filthy, vile, perverse old cunt. I really don't think that's a big ask.

It's NOT a "thing" though, it's the earthly remains of someone's wife, husband, mum, dad or child, and it's the only thing they have left of them. I don't mean to be out of order here, but how would you feel if, heaven forbid, one of your kids died and someone did something like this to them?

Odds on you wouldn't just consider them a piece of meat and fair game to be defiled in this way. We are more than just currently-breathing chunks of flesh.

"Sexual penetration with a corpse was made illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. This is defined as depictions of "sexual interference with a human corpse" as well as actual scenes (see also extreme pornography). As of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, it is also illegal to possess explicit and realistic depictions of sexual interference with a human corpse, electronic or otherwise."

Not sure when his last dabble with the dead was, but it wasn't illegal until 11 years ago

In finding this nugget of information I now have a nice Google search that has no doubt been flagged by the NSA already "is necrophilia legal uk"

The USA is not exactly aligned on this topic, you can be charged with a Class A felony to a Misdemeanour depending on which state you live in.

Ironically Nevada is one of the strictest with a Class A felony with a maximum penalty of life in prison with the possibility of parole

Rolf Harris guilty on all twelve charges.
