Rolf Harris Faces Seven New Abuse Charges Including ‘Assault On Disabled Girl’

One of seven new alleged sex abuse victims of paedophile Rolf Harris is said to be a disabled victim.

The shamed entertainer is due in court tomorrow to face fresh charges of abuse – including one said to have been on BBC grounds.

It’s alleged the jailed former TV presenter, below, also molested a girl aged 13 at BBC headquarters in London in 1983.

It is the first time the disgraced entertainer has been accused of carrying out a sex assault on BBC premises.

The woman who made the claims is one of seven new alleged victims Harris faces court over. One of them is understood to be disabled and another has accused him of assaulting her at the BBC’s former White City HQ 12 years ago when she was 24.

Prosecutors made new accusations after an investigation by police probing the paedophile past of Jimmy Savile, below.

A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said: “We have carefully considered the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police as part of Operation Yewtree in relation to Rolf Harris.

“We have concluded there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Harris to be charged with seven counts of indecent assault. The alleged offences date from 1971 to 2004 and relate to complainants aged between 12 and 27.”

Harris is serving five-and-a-half years in Stafford jail for sex attacks on girls as young as eight and is due to be freed next year.

He is due before Westminster magistrates in central London tomorrow.
