ABC documentary gives Rolf Harris’ Australian accusers a chance to be heard
The ABC documentary 'Rolf Harris: Primetime Predator' provides a platform for Australian women who accused the entertainer of sexual assault. Despite being convicted in Britain, Harris was never charged in Australia, leaving many victims without justice. The documentary aims to offer these women a chance to share their stories and find healing.
- ▪Rolf Harris was sentenced in 2014 for 12 counts of indecent assault against four women.
- ▪Many of Harris' victims never had their claims go to trial in Australia.
- ▪The documentary seeks to provide a sense of catharsis and healing for the women involved.
