ENTERTAINER Rolf Harris has been sentenced to five years and nine months in prison.
The judge at Southwark Crown Court told Harris he had shown no remorse for his crimes and had taken his victim's childhood innocence. He had taken advantage of an 'awestruck' victim and treated her 'like a toy'.
He added: "You took advantage of the trust placed in you because of your celebrity status."
Victim statements were read in court ahead of the sentencing of Harris, 84, who was convicted of 12 indecent assault charges.
Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said he would take into account Harris's breach of trust as a celebrity when sentencing.
Prosecutors meanwhile say Harris will not stand trial over allegations he downloaded sexual images of children.
