Rolf Harris’ widow Alwen Hughes dies aged 92

Rolf Harris’ widow Alwen Hughes has died at the age of 92 just over a year after the disgraced entertainer’s death at home in Bray, Berkshire.

The Welsh sculptress and jeweller married Harris in 1958 and remained with her Australian husband after he was convicted of indecent assault on young girls.

Harris died aged 93 on May 10 last year of neck cancer and “frailty of old age,” according to his death certificate.

Fifteen months after his death, Hughes died on August 15 from a stroke after suffering from the fragility of old age and vascular dementia, according to a death certificate obtained by The Mirror.

The Windsor and Maidenhead Register Office confirmed her death was registered with them.

Harris was 84 when a jury at Southwark Crown Court unanimously found him guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault involving victims as young as seven or eight, in July 2014.

He was sentenced to five years and nine months.

In May 2017, Harris was released on licence.

In the same month he was formally cleared of four unconnected historical sex offences, which he had denied.

Later that year, one of the 12 indecent assault convictions was overturned by the Court of Appeal.

He was one of the most popular and talented entertainers of his generation until he was exposed as a paedophile and serial sexual predator.
