Jailed entertainer Rolf Harris is to be charged with seven counts of indecent assault, the UK Crown Prosecution Service has announced.
The alleged offences date from 1971 to 2004 and relate to seven people aged between 12 and 27 at the time.
A CPS spokesperson said: "We have carefully considered the evidence gathered by the Metropolitan Police Service as part of Operation Yewtree in relation to Rolf Harris".
"Having completed our review in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Harris to be charged with seven counts of indecent assault".
The 85-year-old is currently serving a six-year sentence for sex offences at Stafford Prison in England.
The Australian-born artist and musician enjoyed a long and varied career.
He shot to fame in the 1960s with comedic song 'Jake The Peg', going on to become a major television personality in the UK in more recent decades with his catchphrase "Can you tell what it is yet?".
Harris will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on March 17th.
