Rolf Harris said he wanted to sexually assault two 14-year-old schoolgirls, his ‘adopted son’ claims
ROLF Harris spoke about wanting to sexually assault two 14-year-old schoolgirls, his ‘adopted son’ has claimed.
The disgraced TV star, 93, was working at the BBC when he allegedly made the disgusting comments about the girls.
Chris Bronson, Harris’ manager who previously described himself as “like an adopted son” to the entertainer, claims he had been driving him home when he lusted after the kids.
The chilling interaction will be aired in a new ITVX documentary called ‘Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight’, this Thursday.
Bronson told the show: “I remember I was driving Rolf back from the BBC, and there were two schoolgirls in uniform walking along. I’m driving the car and Rolf out of the blue just says, ‘Jesus, couldn’t you just f*** the pair of them?’
“And it, and when… when he said it, I mean, I’m driving along and he, and he said it and it was, it was shocking to hear him say it. And I, and I looked at him, I said, ‘What?’ And he said, ‘well, just look at ’em. Aren’t they just f***ing lovely?’
“I’m driving a car, Rolf’s looking out of the window and he’s thinking about f***ing two 14 year olds, two little girls.”
He added: “So for me, the impact of that, and not only was I furious, I was, not only was I angry about it, I fully expressed the anger that I felt, and I pulled the car over and I said, ‘I can’t f***ing believe that you’ve just said what you’ve said’.
“And he immediately went into, ‘I’m so sorry Bear, I shouldn’t have said that in front of you’.”
The show charts the rise of Harris from kids entertainer to national treasure who painted The Queen and appeared at kids festivals and on TV adverts.
But his 60-year career came crashing down when a childhood pal of his only child, Bindi, – known as Victim A – came forward alleging Harris groomed her aged just 13.
A victim impact statement was read out in court in 2014, it said: “The attacks that happened have made me feel dirty, grubby and disgusting. The whole sordid saga has traumatised me.
“I have panic attacks and suffer from anxiety. The effects of the abuse have been with me for many years. I started drinking at the age of 14 to 15 years old.
“This was to block out the effects of what he was doing to me.”
In court, Bindi admitted learning about her dad and Victim A in the late 1990s, but claimed Victim A was 18 and the relationship was consensual.
A number of other women make claims of “degrading and awful” treatment by serial sex assaulter Harris over decades.
One of them, Karen Gardner, tells the ITVX show: “He said something, which still makes me feel sick now.
“He said to me, ‘You’re irresistible.’ I was 16. He was 48. He was 10 years older than my dad.
Harris was acquitted of assaulting Karen after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
Harris – awarded an MBE, OBE and later CBE – was stripped of all of his honours in 2015.
He was released from prison on licence in 2017 after serving just under three years in HMP Stafford.
The monster lives in a £7 million mansion in Bray, Berkshire, caring for wife Alwen.
Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight will air on ITVX from May 18.
