	Entertainer (84) found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault against four girls on Monday</p>
<p>
	Rolf Harris has been jailed for five years and nine months for a string of sex crimes involving four girls.</p>
<p>
	The 84-year-old entertainer, a family favourite for decades, was finally unmasked as a prolific paedophile with his conviction for 12 indecent assaults on Monday.</p>
<p>
	Today, at London&rsquo;s Southwark Crown Court, Mr Justice Sweeney told the shamed performer he had shown no remorse, and his reputation was now in ruins.</p>
<p>
	Harris was unanimously found guilty of molesting four girls - one who was just seven or eight and was groped when she asked for his autograph, and another two who fell prey as young teenagers.</p>
<p>
	The veteran presenter, who charmed television audiences for decades, was also convicted of a catalogue of abuse against his daughter&rsquo;s then-best friend, whom prosecutors said Harris groomed from the age of 13 and used like &ldquo;his little toy&rdquo;.</p>
<p>
	The accusations dated back to between 1968 and 1986, and the girls were targeted between the ages of seven or eight and 19.</p>
