Rolf Harris has been sentenced to five years and nine months in prison for indecently assaulting four young girls.

The disgraced entertainer, who is 84, was found guilty at Southwark Crown Court on Monday of 12 charges which date from between 1968 and 1986.

The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, told Mr Harris his reputation "lies in ruins and he has no-one to blame but himself".
