Rolf Harris trial: Entertainer 'disguised dark side of character'

Rolf Harris has admitted he is good at disguising a "dark side" of his character as he gave evidence for a second day at his sex abuse trial

The 84-year-old TV entertainer said his wife and daughter had not known of his relationship with an alleged victim.

He told Southwark Crown Court he had had a consensual relationship with the woman when she was an adult, but that nothing had happened while she was a child.

Mr Harris, of Bray, in Berkshire, denies 12 indecent assaults between 1968 and 1986.

David Sillito reports.
