Convicted sex offender Rolf Harris will be the subject of an ITV documentary titled Hiding In Plain Sight. The two-part special will tell the story of his rise and fall through interviews with his victims, the police who investigated him and colleagues who worked alongside him.
The Australian-born entertainer, a family favourite for decades, was jailed for five years and nine months in 2014 and released on licence in May 2017. Made by TV production company Optomen, Hiding In Plain Sight will document his “public persona of a non-threatening eccentric who was devoted to his wife while revealing that actually, within the industry, Harris was increasingly known as a creep”.
The documentary will also question whether his crimes would have been uncovered had it not been for the Jimmy Savile scandal.
