Harris arrested over sex abuse claims after Savile scandal

Rolf Harris was named as the veteran entertainer who was arrested by police investigating allegations of sexual abuse following the Jimmy Savile scandal.

Harris, 83, was originally interviewed by detectives from Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree in November and was then arrested over the allegations on Mar 28.

Until yesterday, the TV personality, who performed for the Queen at her Diamond Jubilee concert last year, had only been named online.
