Rolf Harris arrives at court

Rolf Harris has arrived at court in London to learn his fate after being convicted of 12 charges of indecent assault.

Convicted sex offender Rolf Harris has arrived at court in London to be sentenced for 12 indecent assaults on four girls in the UK between 1968 and 1986.

The 84-year-old arrived in a car at Southwark Crown Court around 9.30am local time.

He reportedly earlier left his riverside home in Bray, west of the capital, by boat.

Harris was accompanied by his daughter Bindi and niece Jenny.

The veteran entertainer was warned on Monday by Justice Nigel Sweeney that he should expect to be sent to jail.

The judge will hear submissions on the former star's behalf on mitigation regarding his age and health.

Justice Sweeney will also take into account the psychological impact of the assaults on the Australian's four victims.
