The 84-year-old was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison after being found guilty of 12 counts at London's Southwark Crown Court. He was convicted of nine assaults between 1968 and 1985 - one on a girl aged seven or eight, and the rest on teenagers between 14 and 19.
Alan said: “It is hugely important to victims that they feel the courts are sending out a clear message both to deter offenders and to express the feelings of society at large.
“We must remember that Harris put his victims through the ordeal of giving evidence and the fact that his actions have ruined lives. We already know that a young girl was driven to alcoholism by his conduct. Despite his age, it is right that the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crime.”
