Tonya lee
There was much on the internet about Tonya Lee a year before Rolf had even been questioned by the UK police about any allegations. Lee sold a story to an Australian magazine Woman's Day, which published startling allegations of abuse by Rolf Harris which I read and found to be typical of the way Woman's Day report such unfounded allegations. I was amazed that such a defamatory and outrageously hostile story could be published pre trial without any supporting evidence and with no police investigation. What I invite you to do is to look at the Tonya Lee story published by Woman's Day and then compare it to a similar story they had published previously ..... don't forget the words 'strikingly' similar were used against Rolf in court over a year later.

If you look at the TL article and compare it to the 'A Current Affair' interview there further discrepancies in it.
In the article (bearing in mind that she says that the non-event happened at the start of the tour) it says:
“Tonya says she saw Rolf twice more during the tour. At the end of the tour he came to a show in London, congratulating her backstage on her performance, and he came to see them off at the airport. When I saw him again, I just felt yucky, definitely scared, and I thought to myself, ‘I need to stay away from you.’ So I made sure I was with people. He was just the same as he always was, acted like nothing had happened. I'm not the sort of person that would cause a fuss and go up to him or say anything.”
From the Current Affair interview and the stories she tells in that, we know that she states that there was only one event in the tour that involved Rolf Harris. This was the pub event that she says was at the beginning of the tour.
Given that we know that the pub event wasn't until the end of the tour, I would say this statement is further evidence that she just made the whole thing up.
It is interesting that the tour itinerary was presented in court by the defence, and that the itinerary shows clearly that the theatre group met Rolf Harris only once at the very end of the tour, so why, WHY, was the tour itinerary not compared to the Current Affair interview stories and the even more erroneous Woman’s Day article?
WHERE WERE THE DEFENCE TEAM ON THIS? I THINK I COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB!

Now we have a look at Cathy Henkel's so called 'evidence'.
