A "full file" of evidence against disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris has been presented to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), sources said tonight.

The paedophile was interviewed under caution by police as part of Operation Yewtree in February.

The 85-year-old was handed a six-year jail term last year for a string of sex attacks on girls as young as seven.

A CPS spokesman said: “The CPS has received a full file of evidence following the interview under caution of an 85-year-old man on 3 and 4 February at a police station in Stafford in relation to Operation Yewtree.

“A decision will be made in due course.”

The CPS declined to name the man, although it is understood to be the shamed entertainer.
