BREAKING: Rolf Harris has been sentenced to five years and nine months in jail after a jury found him guilty of 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986.

UPDATE: Full details on Rolf Harris' sentencing here

The convicted paedophile who is 84-years-old was sentenced in Southwark Crown Court in the United Kingdom today.

The judge told Harris that he showed "no remorse at all" for his crimes and his "reputation lies in ruins".

The Australian entertainer's daughter Bindi, whose best friend was one of the victims, was present with him at the court. His wife Alwen Hughes did not attend.

Harris's youngest victim was just seven or eight years old when she was abused in the late 1960s at a community centre near Portsmouth.

Dozens of other women in Britain, Australia and New Zealand have revealed they too were abused by the predator over the past 50 years.

Hours before Harris learned his fate in the British court, a New Zealand politician and former broadcaster said the shamed TV star tried to grope her.

Maggie Barry today branded the Australian entertainer a "sleazy creep" with "wandering hands", saying he touched her inappropriately while they were preparing for an interview in the 1980s.

The Nationals MP told said she became aware of the two faces of the pedophile when she was working in on a regional station, while aged in her mid-20s, in Palmerston North.

Harris made his name on the BBC over 60 years, hosting shows for children, animal lovers and art fans.
