Rolf Harris cleared of three sex assault charges

Rolf Harris has been cleared of three sexual assault charges.

According to The Guardian, the jury deliberated for 26 hours and 16 minutes before returning a 'not guilty' verdict on two charges of indecent assault and one of sexual assault. The Southwark Crown Court jury failed to return a verdict on four other charges and as a result, this jury has now been discharged. The former TV personality and presenter is currently serving a prison sentence following his 2014 trial, when he was convicted of 12 sex offences against four girls, one of whom was aged under ten.
