Woman feared Rolf Harris 'would rape me'

A woman who gave evidence in court against disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris has said she feared she would be raped when she was sexually abused by him while on holiday in Malta.

The woman, who was 18 when she met Harris, said she did not speak out at the time as she did not think anyone would believe her.

She gave evidence at Harris' trial, but the attack in Malta was not the subject of a prosecution because at the time of the incident the offence was outside the jurisdiction of a UK court.

Her identity has been disguised to protect her anonymity.
