Rolf Harris will serve 3 years in jail for sex assaults

The pain of the women who fell prey to convicted paedophile Rolf Harris was laid bare as he was told he will serve just under three years in prison for a string of sex crimes.

As the shamed entertainer, unmasked as a predator who was fixated with underage girls, was sentenced at London’s Southwark Crown Court, statements from the four girls he targeted over decades detailed their ordeals.

The court heard how Harris’ sordid 16-year campaign of sex abuse against his daughter’s friend “haunted” her and made her abandon her dreams as he continued to be adored by millions of fans worldwide.
