Paedo Harris Bible on eBay
A PRISON Bible which Rolf Harris defaced with a self-portrait is on eBay with a starting bid of £200.
The brown leather book came from HMP Bullingdon, where the disgraced TV star served five months. It was signed by the paedo and other inmates to wish a lag luck on his release.
Harris, 87, drew a picture of himself with a toothy grin and wrote: “It’s been nice knowing you mate – All the best for the future – cheers – Rolf”.
The prisoner who received the gift gave it to his girlfriend but they split up and she has now put the sick “keepsake” up for auction.
The woman, who calls herself beckyishere on the auction site, said in a misspelled and badly punctuated post: “The bible has a few ripped/ missing page’s. How ever the signed part is brilliant condition also some of is friends have wrote in the back he met in prison please note I have by law crossed out any prison numbers with a black pen to protect the identitys of others thanks for looking happy bidding on a one time never seen Bible with his own signing work in a Bible trust me!! You will never get one like this again that I promise.
“He gave it to my ex boyfriend as a leaving President. I got this when on a prison visit with some other stuff sighed by rolf and was shocked but I kept it at home but having a clear out now as fell out with the ex.
“Dear eBay. And buyers I have spoke to my solicitors who confirmed there is no law on selling this and the Bible is worth quite a lot.”
“Becky”, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts, also included a menu from the Category B prison, along with an internal information sheet showing Harris’ first meal in July 2014 was a cheese and onion pasty.
He was jailed for five years and nine months after being convicted of sex attacks on four girls aged eight to 18.
Harris was moved from Bullingdon in Oxfordshire to HMP Stafford in October 2014. He was released in May. The value of his paintings has plummeted in the wake of his conviction but collectors often pay large sums for memorabilia connected to vile crimes.
An eBay spokesman said: “eBay does not allow the sale of items that cause offence, or relate to high-profile criminals and we’ll remove any listings that fit that description.”
