The Australian born artist and musician was convicted of 12 counts of indecent assault at London’s Southwark Crown Court on June 30.

During his sentencing, the judge said about the 84-year-old: “You have shown no remorse for your crimes at all. Your reputation now lies in ruins, you have been stripped of your honours but you have no one to blame but yourself.”

“They want this over so they can get on with their lives as best they can, although for some the damage Harris has done will sadly be irreparable.

“We must not forget the very serious nature of the crimes Harris committed. Justice has rightly been done and the victims will be pleased at the outcome.”
