Shamed entertainer Rolf Harris has been sentenced to five years and nine months behind bars for a string of sex attacks against young girls.
The 84-year-old, convicted on Monday of 12 counts of indecent assault between 1968 and 1986, was flanked by guards in the dock as the punishment was handed down.
One of his four victims was seven or eight years old, and the others, including the best friend of Harris' daughter Bindi, were teenagers aged between 14 and 19.
The judge at Southwark Crown Court Mr Justice Sweeney told the disgraced performer: "You have shown no remorse for your crimes at all.
"Your reputation lies in ruins, you have been stripped of your honours, but you have no one to blame but yourself.
"You took advantage of the trust placed in you because of your celebrity status to commit the offences."
