National MP and former broadcaster Maggie Barry says convicted sex offender Rolf Harris groped her in a radio studio in Palmerston North.
Barry called Harris a “sleazy creep” when they were preparing to do a radio interview in the mid-1980s.
Barry said she found it a chilling experience and believes he felt he was entitled to touch her because of his celebrity status.
She said when she called him a sleazy creep he became angry and his publicist had to intervene.
Meanwhile, the town of Bassendean in Western Australia, where Harris was born, has voted to strip him of honours and remove all his art from display following his conviction on child sex offences.
