Rolf Harris gets five years nine months' prison sentence

Rolf Harris has been jailed for almost six years for 12 indecent assaults against four girls.

According to the judge, the 84-year-old had taken advantage of his celebrity status and had shown "no remorse", the BBC reported.

The prison sentence has already been referred to the Attorney General's Office under the "unduly lenient sentence scheme".

Harris, who was found guilty of offences that took place between 1968 and 1986, was told by the judge he had "no-one to blame but himself" and that he "clearly got a thrill" from committing some of the assaults on his four victims while "others were present or nearby".
