| Subject: In defense of Rolf Harris: Didn't use force, hence is innocent Tue Jul 01, 2014 3:27 am | |
| Rolf Harris has been found guilty on 12 charges of indecent assault against four girls, from 1968 to 1986.
Justice Nigel Sweeney said a jail term was “uppermost in the court’s mind” but he would hear evidence as to Harris’ state of health before sentencing on Friday.
The trial began in early May, when prosecutor Sasha Wass, QC, told the jury Harris was a "Jekyll and Hyde" character whose immense talent and popularity hid a dark side: he was sexually attracted to young girls.
However, the defence – and Harris himself – denied all the charges, saying his accusers were lying, their stories inconsistent and unbelievable.
Both Harris' wife, Alwen, and daughter, Bindi, were in court to hear the verdicts.
