Jailed entertainer Rolf Harris is to be charged with a further seven counts of indecent assault, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
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.
