Rolf Harris was dirty old man who abused victim for years...

A woman who alleges she was indecently assaulted by Rolf Harris from the age of 13 told a school friend the Australian-born entertainer was "a dirty old man" who would sit her on his lap and fondle her, a court has heard.

The alleged victim, a friend of Harris's daughter, Bindi, told another friend the TV star and musician abused her repeatedly over many years, the jury at Southwark crown court heard.

The school friend, who is now in her late 40s, said she was told about Harris's alleged actions when the pair were still classmates at about the age of 16.

Answering questions from Sasha Wass QC, prosecuting, the witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, recounted the conversation, saying the alleged victim told her the assaults took place at her family home.

"She described him to me as a bit of a dirty old man," she said. "He used to get her to sit on his lap and touch her up." She added: "I just remember feeling horrified on her behalf." Full story...
