AUTHORITIES IN ENGLAND are examining a file of further allegations against disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris, sources said today.
Harris, 85, a household name for decades in Britain and Australia, was interviewed under caution by officers in early February.
He was jailed for five years and nine months in July last year for a string of sexual assaults against girls.
He was found guilty of indecently assaulting four victims between 1969 and 1986, including the childhood best friend of his daughter Bindi.
The Crown Prosecution Service, which decides whether charges should be brought, said it was examining new material from the police’s Operation Yewtree investigation into historic sex offences.
“The CPS has received a full file of evidence following the interview under caution of an 85-year-old man on 3 and 4 February at a police station in Stafford in relation to Operation Yewtree,” a spokesman said.
“A decision will be made in due course.”
The CPS declined to name the man, although it is understood to be Harris.
The Yewtree investigation was set up in the wake of revelations that Jimmy Savile, a fellow major BBC star, was a prolific abuser.

@The long walk home☘️: yep would rather see them catch him for something proper reeks of desperation a real stitch up. I’m sure he is a tramp but a tazer flashlight
SENIOR….I wonder does he have a business card with his job title on it?
@John Horan: Senior business development manager, they love that one. Code for, I’ve worked in sales longer than the other lad.
@Mick paisley: what that really means is I am here a long time so they can’t sack me but not good enough to get promoted out of sales
An eye opener to our justice system……..
We give s#x offenders suspended sentences…..
Prolific repeat offenders with multiple convictions ……slap on the wrist
Taser on top of a kitchen press …..3 years
Maybe with Brexit a few judges might take up working here
Bravo !!!!!!
It’s the small things that will catch you….
@John Considine: get you caught
@STOIC SAVAGE:
Better than the suspended sentence he would have got here – hope our judges take note
I wonder which meaning senior has here. Age or rank?
