Rolf Harris Guilty Of String Of Sex Attacks

Sky News learns that police are considering possible charges after dozens more women claim to have been assaulted by the star.

Veteran entertainer Rolf Harris has been found guilty of a string of indecent assaults against underage girls.

Harris, whose showbusiness career spans more than 60 years, remained stony-faced as the jury returned guilty verdicts on all 12 counts after a seven-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.

His daughter Bindi held hands with a fellow supporter, and his wife Alwen and niece Jenny watched from the public gallery as Harris learned his fate.

The 84-year-old will be sentenced on Friday.

Mr Justice Sweeney warned Harris it was "inevitable" a custodial sentence would be possible.

It is the highest profile conviction achieved by officers from Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree team - the unit set up to investigate historical sex abuse claims in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

During the trial, four females described their ordeal at the hands of the Australian-born cartoonist - with the youngest being just seven or eight years old.

He was accused of indecent assaults dating between 1968 and 1986, but several other women gave bad character evidence against him at the trial, reliving how they had been molested by him as late as 1991.

Prosecution sources confirmed to Sky News that dozens of other women have also come forward during the trial, claiming they too were assaulted by him and police are considering whether to bring further charges.

Two Australian women have also exclusively told Sky News they were groped by Harris in circumstances which echo some of the evidence heard during the trial.

The main complainant against Harris - who performed in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 - was the best friend of the singer's daughter Bindi.

The woman, who is now 49, told how she was first molested by Harris after she stepped out of a shower during a holiday in Hawaii in 1978 with Bindi and the rest of her family.

He then groped her again on the beach before carrying out further attacks on her in the bedroom of his family home in Australia - as Bindi slept nearby - and the assaults continued back in Britain.

Prosecutor Sasha Wass described Harris as a ''sinister pervert'' who used his fame to get close to young women and girls, adding that he had a ''dark side'' and was a ''Jekyll and Hyde character''.

Key to the case was a letter written by Harris to the father of the main victim in 1997 after she had told her parents of the abuse she had suffered as a teenager.
Rolf Harris 1967 Harris's career in showbusiness spanned six decades

In it, Harris wrote how he was in a ''state of abject self-loathing'', adding he was ''sickened'' by the ''misery I have caused".

The prosecution said it amounted to a confession of his indecent assaults on her which went on until she was 29 years old - only ending when she moved to Norfolk.

The other allegations involved attacks on a girl in Portsmouth in 1968-1969, a woman in Cambridge some time between 1975 and 1979 and an Australian woman called Tonya Lee who was molested in a London pub in 1986.

In an interview broadcast last year Ms Lee said: ''I don't know how he lives his life day to day, and I don't know how he sleeps at night.''

The Metropolitan Police said afterwards Harris "habitually denied any wrongdoing" and "thought his celebrity status placed him above the law".

The Crown Prosecution Service added: "The victims in this case have suffered in silence for many years and have only recently found the courage to come forward. Each victim, unbeknown to the others, described a similar pattern of behaviour - that of a man acting without fear of the consequences."

Bafta confirmed Harris will be stripped of the Bafta Fellowship he received in 2012. The children's entertainer may also lose his CBE following his conviction.

Sky have just shown that although his daughter went to court with him, she got in the car just before the court, and on leaving, got out of the car just round the corner from the court. Who can blame her.

Bet he REVERTS to Islam in prison.

Im really shocked by this one still. Loved him as a kid and still thought he was a lovely man   

It's sad and terrible. I was hoping the allegations would turn out to be unfounded.

You checked my link though. About Brazil.

 

Geographically:

THE USA is #5 after China if you only look to the 48 'contiguous' states ~ leapfrogs China to #4 when Alaska, Hawaii and external territories are added in...

Australia is #6..

(IF all of Oz's external territories are added on, it passes the USA to take #4 spot = thanx to all that Antarctic territory, that the S needles on compasses point up to..).   

Economically:

LAST year, Brazil claimed to have the 7th largest economy in the world ~ they reckon their increases in iron ore and coal mining, and crops for biofuels, are keeping them ahead of the record keepers and analysts...

BRAZIL was hoping to have the 5th largest economy by the end of this year, but with recent downturns in the prices for their main products this year, they might have to settle for #6..

Hey guys, I may be a Yankee Doodle C-word, but I for one would welcome a taste of third-worldleness to Los Estados Unidos. I think far too many of my compatriots have lost the plot on who the real enemy is ...

Amazing what a few $$$million$$$ for a new building and the odd scholarship funds from a wealthy and well-connected family can do for 'buying' degrees for their offspring, isn't it..

Well, he was going to try to break out of his daddy's footsteps and go to the University of Texas, but he couldn't get in, so he had to settle for Yale, just like where daddy went...

Anyway back on topic you three!

I hope Rolf Harris goes to jail and gets severely arse-attacked and then dies an awful death.

More to the point, if I knew my dad was a paedophile I would NOT be standing by him in court!!!
What's Bindi saying? I think he's innocent? I don't care he touches small children - he's my dad??

Stupid bitch.

Well I'm still not convinced ...

No Raggs, the girl was underage.
That's why he sent it to the father pretty much admitting it?

Why would he send a letter to the father of someone if she wasn't underage?

He was replying to a letter the father had sent him.

He didn't - he said nothing happened when she was underage.

I FELT much the same before the trial started, but as time went on he didn't seem to be helping himself, even partly incriminating himself further with some of his antics and comments in court...

I felt exactly the same...wished this was untrue

Look at this Jimmy Savile Guy, the Representative of Anglo Culture, Corrupting an Australian (but a bad one, Rolf the union Jack wearing wanker) into the Anglo past times of Child abuse and abuse of hospital patient and possibly even corpse defiling.

  IT IS quite upsetting and disturbing for Australia as a country and community and society, as well ~ there will be a deep disappointment among a lot of people who grew up watching him on TV, (even if some people had suspicions over the years, when they had noticed some sleazy or suspect behaviour - and yet, over the years, nobody had come forward and complained to the police !).

How sad!

I really liked Rolf Harris

Lots of people liked and respected him in England; for Australia it's probably more disheartening.

No doubt it was toughest of all for those who had to testify. At least that's behind them now.

I agree with you. When his name was first mentioned I thought no way

One of the most damning pieces of evidence that convicted Rolf Harris was a letter he sent to the father of one of his victims apologising for his behaviour.


In the letter, Harris talks of his self-loathing at his “affair” with a woman 35 years his junior but denied that it ever involved underage sex.

"Please forgive me for not writing sooner.

He is one if the last people you would ever think that of...so much so that it just wouldn't enter our minds!
Still shocked at this:(

I wonder if people will call for him to be 'deported' back to Australia?

Quite honestly I'm a little revolted at his daughter.
No way I'd stand by any man, whoever it was, if they were doing that evilness to children.

Sky showed that she got in the car just round from the court house before them arriving and got out just round the corner after they left. Who know what pressure had been brought to bear on her.

Yes I read that earlier.
I'm just sure as I can be that I couldn't stand by any male relative sassy. I find paedophilia the most disgusting Crime of all.
It sickens me to my core.

Me Too, if he was my father, and she knew about it a long time ago because she asked her friend when she was 15 if she was upset with her Dad because he'd interferred with her, I would have kicked him out in an instant, whoever he was. I don't understand the mother either.
