More than 10 new victims have come forward claiming they were sexually abused by Rolf Harris, including a number of New Zealanders.

The Sunday Times has reported a source close to the police investigation into the entertainer's sex offending saying that 10 new victims have been identified and their claims relate to abuse in New Zealand, Australia and Britain.

It is understood that many of the victims were under age, meaning Harris could face new charges.

The investigation, dubbed Operation Yewtree in based in London and is looking at the British cases but any that took place abroad would be handled by the local police.

Harris, 84, was jailed in June for five years and nine months for 12 indecent assaults on four girls between 1969 and 1986.

Detective Chief Inspector Michael Orchard of the Metropolitan police said some new claims had been made during the course of the trial.

Harris moved to another prison, reports of bullying

Meanwhile, Harris has reportedly been moved to a another UK prison for his own safety after being bullied by other inmates.

The 84-year-old Australian entertainer is serving five years and nine months after being found guilty of sexually assaulting four girls and had been housed at HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire.

But UK newspaper The Sun reports Harris has now been moved to Stafford jail, considered to be a "soft" prison, after being taunted by fellow inmates.

"They were keen to take him down a peg or two," a source told the paper.

"He was moved to another prison for his own safety about two weeks ago."

The tabloid reported earlier this year that Harris was given a job tending to the prison garden, infuriating other inmates who felt he was receiving preferential treatment.

He was apparently spat at in one incident but began sketching caricatures of fellow inmates for free, and was inundated with requests.

Harris was convicted in June of 12 counts of indecent assault that occurred between 1968 and 1986 against four female victims, the youngest of which was only seven years old at the time.
