"Rolf Harris has been found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault. The incidents took place between 1968 and 1986. The youngest victim was aged 7 or 8 at the time of the assaults, and the oldest was 19.  Rolf Harris used his status to sexually assault young girls, says CPS Mr Justice Sweeney has said that mitigation and a sentence hearing will be held on Friday (July 4), with Harris to remain on bail till then. The judge told the defence that a custodial sentence is &amp;quot;uppermost in the court&amp;#039;s mind&amp;quot;. One of Harris&amp;#039;s victims was a childhood friend of his daughter, Bindi. The court was told Harris groomed and molested the victim from the age of 13 until she was 19. &amp;quot;He targeted fans who were mesmerised by his fame and talents,&amp;quot; said prosecution QC Sasha Wass during the trial. &amp;quot;He was a children&amp;#039;s entertainer and they were beguiled by his singing and painting. And the penalty of their admiration was to suffer sexual assault.&amp;quot;  Harris had denied all 12 counts of indecent assault at Southwark Crown Court. The Australian native was described as a &amp;quot;Jekyll and Hyde&amp;quot; character by prosecutors, who claimed he had a hidden dark side to his personality. Harris was first interviewed by officers in November 2012, with his name being made public in April the following year. He was re-arrested over further alleged sexual offences last August, before the case coming to trial in April. Anyone who has been affected by this case or other cases of child abuse is encouraged to contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
