Rolf Harris: questioned twice but not charged by Scotland Yard officers. Photo: Getty Images
A Sydney woman is being interviewed by British police who are investigating sexual abuse claims made against Australian entertainer Rolf Harris.
Fairfax Media understands the woman, who lives in Sydney's north-west outskirts, has on Thursday been visited by British detectives, escorted by an Australian Federal Police officer.
An AFP spokesman refused to comment, saying they were not the lead investigators in that case.
Mr Harris, 83, has been questioned twice but not charged by Scotland Yard officers, who on Thursday were declining to comment on any developments in the case.
Operation Yewtree was established following the flood of sexual assault claims made against British television entertainer Jimmy Savile.
However, the claims made against Harris are entirely unrelated to Savile, but have been investigated by the same task force.
Harris has not spoken publicly but is understood to deny any wrongdoing.
