‘Rolf spent £6m on defence’

-

ROLF Harris spent more than £6million defending himself against sex allegation­s, one of the complainan­ts has claimed.

Harris, 87, who was jailed in 2014 for assaulting four young girls, walked free from a second trial last month.

Karen Gardner, who gave evidence against Harris at both trials, said senior police told her Harris “spent £3million on lawyers and private investigat­ors for the first trial and probably more than that on the second trial”.

A jury could not decide if Harris had sexually assaulted her in Cambridge in 1977. His lawyers have been contacted for a comment.
