Harris to plead not guilty Rolf Harris will plead not guilty to 13 child sex offences, his lawyer has told a London court. Harris appeared in Westminster Magistrates Court dressed in a dark suit and spoke briefly to confirm his personal details. After giving his name, the veteran Australian entertainer paused to say "Um, what's next?" before stating his address and date of birth. Harris' lawyer Sonia Woodley QC told the court the 83-year-old would be pleading not guilty. The court heard Harris had been accused of digitally penetrating two teenage girls in the 1980s. Prosecutor Christine Athanasius told the court he was also accused of having oral sex with the first complainant. Ms Athanasius said there was repeated offending with the first complainant. Harris is facing six counts of indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl in 1980 and 1981 and three charges of indecent assault on a girl aged 14 in 1986. He was also charged three weeks ago with four counts of making indecent images of a child in the first half of 2012. Judge Emma Arbuthnot said her powers were insufficient to deal with the case and referred it to a higher court. Harris will reappear at Southwark Crown Court on October 7 and remains on conditional bail. Under Harris' continuing bail condition, he is not to have contact with 10 witnesses who cannot be named for legal reasons. He is also not to have contact with any person under the age of 18 unless he is with someone else who is over the age of 21. "This is to prevent further offences," Judge Arbuthnot said. Harris was supported in court by his elderly wife Alwen and daughter Bindi. They sat in the front row of the public gallery and briefly said hello to an Australian journalist as they took their seats. Harris left the court, which was full for his brief hearing, by walking slowly to the door. Harris was charged in late August and was first questioned by police concerning the allegations in late 2012. He has not commented publicly, but has performed twice since he was named in the press.
