LONDON: Veteran performer Rolf Harris, a family name in Britain and Australia for a long time, was imprisoned Friday for five years and nine months for a string of rapes against young ladies.
The Australian-conceived TV star, craftsman and musician, 84, was discovered blameworthy recently of profanely attacking four victimized people somewhere around 1969 and 1986, including the youth closest companion of his little girl Bindi.
"You have demonstrated no regret for your law violations whatsoever," Judge Nigel Sweeney told Harris as he passed on his sentence at London's Southward Crown Court.
"Your notoriety lies in vestiges, you have been stripped of your distinctions, yet you have nobody to be faulted yet yourself.
"Harris was the second individual to be sentenced under a boundless police examination set up in the wake of disclosures that Jimmy Savile, a kindred real BBC star, was a productive abuser.
