Images of Rolf Harris arriving at court appear on most front pages, which record the jail term of five years, nine months imposed on the entertainer for a string of child sex attacks. The Daily Express calls it his "final shame".
The Daily Telegraph dubs the former singer and artist a "smiling sex predator", alongside an image of Harris appearing to grin. He is likely to be "free in three years" to serve a large part of the sentence in the community, the paper says.
Harris was "smirking" as he arrived at court, according to the Daily Mail. It records how the court was "shocked into silence" as it heard about the impact of the former children's TV presenter's offences.
The victims had spoken of being "haunted" by the abuse, says the i. Its front page notes that the attorney general is to review the sentence in light of complaints that it was unduly lenient.
The Sun's headline - "no remorse" - sums up the judge's comments about Harris's demeanour during the trial. The paper notes that prosecutors decided not to try him on claims he had downloaded sexual images of children.original post found herhttp://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-the-papers-28172978
