This is missing from the filmography section. Harris made a few appearances on his pervy mate's show. 209.93.85.21 (talk) 13:19, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
A couple of factual errors in the lede:
"He was convicted in England in 2014 of the sexual assault of four underage girls"
Only some of the victims were underage. It is unclear how many, as it's hard to work out whether the Cambridge assault took place in 1975 as the victim alleged (aged 14), or three years later when the prosecution proved he was in Cambridge (when she would have been ~17)
"In July 2014, Harris, aged 84, was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison after being convicted on twelve counts of indecent assault on four female victims, who were between the ages of 13 and 19 at the time that the offences took place, during the 1970s and 1980s."
This is a mess. It appears that info relating to the youngest 'victim' has been semi-removed from this sentence following the overturning of that conviction, in terms of the ages of the victims and the dates of the assaults; but not removed from the count of assaults or the number of victims.
If she's being removed it needs to say
"eleven counts of indecent assault on three female victims, who were between the ages of 13 and 19 at the time that the offences took place, during the 1970s and 1980s."
If she's being kept in it needs to say
"twelve counts of indecent assault on four female victims, who were between the ages of 8 and 19 at the time that the offences took place, during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s." 2A00:23C6:AE98:C701:74F3:C599:F0B2:BF52 (talk) 08:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Why is Harris' age at the time of his conviction included in the lede? 209.93.85.21 (talk) 14:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
