Jury selection will begin today in the trial of Rolf Harris, who denies a string of indecent assaults.
The 84-year-old veteran entertainer is accused of assaulting four girls, the youngest of whom was seven or eight and the oldest aged 19, between 1968 and 1986.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Jury selection is expected to begin today at Southwark Crown Court, and the prosecution case to open later in the week.
Harris, from Bray in Berkshire, is facing 12 counts of indecent assault.
His trial, being heard in front of Mr Justice Sweeney, is expected to take more than six weeks.

It looks as if one of the four accusers might be the woman who did paid interviews in Australia:
“Three of the alleged indecent assaults relate to a 14-year-old girl in May 1986.”

“alleged that the assault occurred in a London pub in 1986 when she was 14”

There is also a former NZ woman who said she saw something:

LinkedIn has profiles for two women with those names, both from the Sydney area and both working in banking. One profile is for someone who is currently the branch manager of one bank while the other is for an independent banking professional who was a manager at another bank until 2003 and educated in New Zealand.
The two towns in which the women are reported to live (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollongong,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisemans_Ferry,_New_South_Wales) are around 2 hours drive apart (http://www.distancesfrom.com/distance-from-Wisemans-Ferry-to-Wollongong/DistanceHistory/4054217.aspx).
Gotta be done properly. He wouldn’t want a kangaroo court now would he?
