Rolf Harris, the children’s entertainer and convicted paedophile, has died at the age of 93.
Harris had been one of the UK’s most popular entertainers with a career spanning more than 50 years, but his reputation was left in tatters when he was unmasked as a serial paedophile who had carried out sickening attacks on children.
The crimes, which dated back to the 1960s and carried on until the 1980s, took place while he was at the height of his fame.
He was initially arrested as part of the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Yewtree investigation into historic child sex abuse in March 2013, and charged in August of that year.
His trial heard how one of his principal victims was a close childhood friend of his daughter Bindi, whom he had begun grooming when she was just 13.
He molested her for the first time during a family holiday to Hawaii and Australia in 1978.
His other victims included a teenage waitress he fondled during filming of the ITV show Star Games in Cambridge in 1978 and a child actress he attacked in 1986.
