Family of disgraced Rolf Harris siphon £5.7MILLION from his business empire ahead of latest sex abuse scandal

THE family of disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris have siphoned £5.7million from his business empire  since he was jailed for sex offences.

The fallen TV favourite faces court again next month after police received a string of fresh allegations from women who claim he attacked them.

And The Sun can reveal today that his businesses are being drained of cash – with money going to his family members.

Documents filed to Companies House just days ago, show that a firm called RHE Investments Ltd has disposed of £2.9 million in cash and assets.

Harris resigned as a director of the firm – still worth £2.8 million -  last year and it is now controlled by his wife Alwen, niece Jennifer and brother Bruce.

And Harris, 86, and his family have put two other firms into liquidation – paying out the remaining money after costs and tax to themselves.

Rolf Harris Enterprises Ltd and RHEL Holdings Ltd are currently being wound up.

But public statements by accountants handling the books show that £859,000 from RHEL Ltd and £1.9 million Rolf Harris Enterprises was paid to the directors.

As well as his wife, niece and brother, Harris himself is listed as a director of this firm.

He was jailed for five years in 2014 for molesting four girls as young as seven between 1968 and 1986.

Australian Harris is due for trial in January on eight further sex assault charges, which he denies.
