Back in 2014, the disgraced BBC presenter landed in jail for six years after being convicted of “indecent assault” of four different girls. Tragically, one of his victims was a friend of his own daughter, Bindi.
The disgraced TV star ended up serving just three years of his sentence before being released in 2017. Rolf Harris never issued an apology to his victims for his crimes.
Prior to his downfall, he was a wildly popular TV personality, musician, and artist. He was best known as the host for several different shows including The Rolf Harris Show and Animal Hospital. He was also known to have a few different hit songs including Jake the Peg.
Unfortunately for his loved ones, there weren’t a lot of well-wishes or “RIP” tributes on social media for the late BBC presenter. In fact, many tweets suggested people were ready to dance on his grave.
The disgraced BBC presenter’s crimes are part of a documentary called, Rolf Harris: Hiding in Plain Sight.
