Rolf Harris was an Australian entertainer, musician, artist, and television personality who worked extensively in the United Kingdom. Over several decades he became known for television appearances, novelty songs, and art programmes, and was a familiar figure on British television.
In 2014, Harris was convicted on multiple indecent assault charges involving underage girls following investigations connected to the wider fallout from the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal. The convictions destroyed his public reputation and led to the removal of many honours.
