Rolf Harris is to be released from prison tomorrow, it has been revealed.
The former TV star has been appearing by videolink at London’s Southwark Crown Court, where he is standing trial accused of indecent assault.
Judge Deborah Taylor told the jury that the 87-year-old would be released from Stafford Prison tomorrow and he would therefore appear in court in person on bail for the remainder of the trial.
Jurors had previously been told Australia-born Harris had already been convicted and sentenced for other offences in 2014.
The judge told jurors: ‘He (Harris) will no longer be appearing in the court via videolink and he will be attending what remains of his trial in person next week.’
The trial, which opened on Monday, will not sit tomorrow. Harris is standing trial accused of indecently assaulting three teenage girls in the 1970s and 1980s.
