Following the death of Rolf Harris at the age of 93, almost 10 years after he was convicted over a string of indecent assaults, has the world changed when it comes to recognising abuse of fame and power?
One of the victims abused by Rolf Harris was a young girl hoping to get his autograph.
She was eight years old.
Following his death at the age of 93, experts have compared the disgraced entertainer to Jimmy Savile, a prolific sex offender whose stardom also allowed him to hide in plain sight.
Harris died on 10 May, but details have only now been confirmed almost two weeks later. The family of the former broadcaster said in a statement that he had already been laid to rest.
A family favourite for several decades, Harris was convicted of a string of indecent assaults in 2014.
He had been among a dozen celebrities arrested during Operation Yewtree, one of a series of police investigations into historical sex abuse allegations against high-profile figures – including BBC presenter Savile.
Harris’s death has sparked conversations once again about abuse of fame and power.
