A woman is suing disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris for an alleged molestation in 1982 when she was a 10-year-old foster child.
He was later sentenced to five years and nine months in prison on 12 counts of indecent assault to four women during the 1970s and 1980s. He was released on licence in 2017., Maurice Blackburn lawyers representing the former foster care child wrote that Harris was allegedly performing at Camp Manyung, where the woman is said to have met the entertainer.
She then claimed Harris lifted her skirt up at the back and placed his hands up her leg and sexually assaulted her. Maurice Blackburn principal lawyer John Rule will be representing the woman and says the intentional tort will claim damages for battery against Harris, which caused her permanent psychiatric harm.
