A woman is suing Rolf Harris, the convicted paedophile and entertainer, over claims that he sexually assaulted her when she was just 10 years old. The woman alleges that she was a ward of the state in Melbourne when Harris molested her in 1982.
Harris, who is now 92 years old, was found guilty of 12 indecent assaults against four underage girls in the UK, resulting in a three-year prison sentence. One count was overturned on appeal. The Melbourne woman alleges that Harris assaulted her after he played a show at a camp at Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula.
According to the woman, Harris helped her pick spilt wax off her dress before using a “hug-lift” to move her onto him and sexually assaulting her. She claims to have felt petrified, terrified, and panicked, and screamed when he touched her. Harris allegedly called her a “lying brat” when confronted.
The woman is also suing the State of Victoria and foster care provider OzChild for alleged abuses that happened when she was under their care. Lawyer John Rule of Maurice Blackburn said that Harris’ alleged offending was “opportunistic and blatant.” He added that this is a pattern of behavior that shows arrogance in his offending.
After Harris’ crimes came to light, he was stripped of his CBE and other accolades. He was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison in 2014 and released in 2017. Since his release, Harris has rarely been seen in public and is reportedly suffering from cancer, which has left him unable to talk or eat without a tube.
In conclusion, the woman’s lawsuit against Rolf Harris alleges that he sexually assaulted her when she was 10 years old while she was under the care of the State of Victoria and foster care provider OzChild. The alleged opportunistic and blatant offending of Harris, a convicted paedophile, has caused him to lose his accolades, be sentenced to prison, and face legal action from his victims.
