Rolf Harris, an Australian entertainer, was charged as part of a U.K. police probe into sexual-assault allegations.

Harris, 83, faces nine counts of indecent assault with girls as young as 14 and four offenses of making indecent images of children, the Metropolitan Police Service said in an e-mailed statement today. The alleged assaults took place from 1980 through 1986, while the images were made last year, police said.
