Former TV star Rolf Harris waved to the cameras as he arrived for his child sex abuse trial for the first time since being freed from prison.
The 87-year-old Australian was accompanied by his niece Jenny as he was driven to Southwark crown court on Monday morning, briefly waving and letting out a smile before entering the building just after 8am.
It was the ex-entertainer’s first public appearance at the court since being released from Stafford Prison on Friday morning.
Harris is on trial accused of groping three teenage girls during TV and celebrity appearances in the 1970s and 1980s.
It is said he had an “appetite” for inappropriately touching the girls, but Harris says the claims are false and are part of bogus compensation claims.
Judge Deborah Taylor told the jury last week that Harris, who had been following the trial via videolink, would return to the dock from today.
Jurors have been told the TV star was convicted and sentenced for other offences in 2014.
Harris denies four charges of indecent assault against three girls.
The trial continues.
