One of the victims was a childhood friend of Rolf Harris’ daughter, Bindi. Another was aged seven or eight.

During his seven-week trial, prosecutors portrayed Rolf Harris as a “Jekyll and Hyde” character, who had a dark side to his personality.

Rolf Harris will be sentenced on Friday.

Judge Justice Sweeney said a custodial term was “uppermost in the court’s mind”.

The Southwark Crown Court jury deliberated for 37 hours and 45 minutes before reaching their unanimous verdicts.
