Rolf Harris cleared of 3 new sex counts
Print Edition
VETERAN Australian entertainer Rolf Harris was yesterday cleared of three sex offenses by a London court, but the jury was discharged on four other counts after failing to reach a verdict.
Harris — a household name in Britain and Australia for more than 50 years — was accused of six counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault, taking place between 1971 and 2004.
The jury took almost a week to find the 86-year-old not guilty of two indecent assault charges and of sexual assault.
Harris was cleared of groping a blind disabled woman in London in 1977 and of sexually assaulting a woman in her 40s after the filming of a television show in 2004.
Judge Alistair McCreath discharged the 12-member jury on the remaining four counts.
And the prosecution team have one week to decide if they will apply for a retrial on the charges that split jurors.
Harris watched via a video-link from prison.
He is serving a sentence of almost six years after being convicted in 2014 of 12 sex offenses against four female victims, one aged as young as 7 or 8.
