Former TV presenter Rolf Harris is currently serving a 5-year prison sentence for twelve counts of indecent assault that took place between 1968 and 1986, on four female victims then aged between eight and nineteen.

Harris was arrested by Operation Yewtree officers in 2013.

According to The Daily Star, Harris was found with dozens of pornography magazines in his cell.

A source revealed that Harris first denied the magazines were his and claimed they must have been hidden by another inmate.

It is believed that Harris teaches an art class in prison and he stated that the magazines were helping him to study the female form.

A source told The Daily Star that the guards did not believe him.

“The guards just burst out laughing but Harris was serious – as if we’d fall for that one.”

“He was given a warning and told he will end up on sweeping duty or back in the kitchens if he is found with any more pornography,” said a source.

It is understood that Harris was trading cigarettes for porn with other inmates.

The source continued:

“Harris has been building up his porno stash since he arrived.”

“The odd magazine is tolerated but not for sex offenders.”

The source also claimed Harris is not a popular prisoner.
