Tonya lee alleged that Rolf groped her under a tablecloth as she sat on his lap during a trip to the Queens Arms in Woolwich. She was part of a theatre group and the group met with rolf at the end of a UK visit. lee tried to have us believe that the meeting with rolf happened at the beginning of the trip but she admitted in court that it happened at the very end. prior to her admitting she was 'wrong' about the dates she had claimed that it had ruined the trip and she had lost a lot of weight during the trip as a consequence of Rolf's actions. as it was found that the pub visit was at the every end of the trip I have to ask why this glaring discrepancy in her story was overlooked by the jury and why they found rolf guilty.
my suspicions about tonya lee were raised before the trial started because I saw her utube video account of the alleged assaults. what sparked my intrigue was her claim that rolf groped her under a tablecloth. english pubs do not use tablecloths. it appears that rolf's defence team didn't go to the pub and have a good look at it because nothing was reported to that effect regarding the trial. i doubted very much that tablecloths would be used but tonya lee is australian and obviously doesn't know that english pubs don't use tablecloths. i found this a strange thing to say. i have no idea if the police visited the pub and if they did they never presented the evidence in court. the evidence would have countered tonya lee's claims so perhaps they did have a look but didn't report it....i have no idea. i have visited the pub three times since rolf's conviction and i frankly do not believe tonya lee's story. i photographed the pub and measured up the corridor one of the alleged assaults supposedly took place - have a look at what i found then ask yourselves why the police didn't do this work.
Below are a few shots taken in the bar/seating area. it is just a normal homely London pub. It is clear that the pub is unchanged and a check with the local planning office confirmed that the ground floor had never been changed since the time of the alleged incidents. So these photos show the pub as it was and you can see instantly that it isn't and never was a 'tablecloth' type of pub.
