Calls for Harris to be stripped of honours

Rolf Harris’s reputation was left in tatters as police considered fresh allegations against him amid calls for tributes and honours to the disgraced entertainer to be removed.

After the 84-year-old’s unanimous conviction of 12 sex charges involving four women — most while they were under age — police said they will look at fresh allegations that were not part of his trial at Southwark Crown Court.

Dozens more alleged victims came forward during the trial, including several in Australia, and Scotland Yard has been in touch with police there. It is not yet clear whether they are pursuing any investigation in Harris’s home country.
