Rolf Harris jail sentence to be reviewed by attorney general | UK news | The Guardian
The AG may have to review the sentence but I would suspect that, in light of the high profile nature of the case, the Judge took all the necessary steps to ensure that the sentence was appropriate.

I think it also has something to do with when the crimes took place. Having to use the old tariff. Not sure though.

Maybe. The advocates would have made the appropriate submissions and I suspect that the Judge applied the appropriate rules.

That's correct, but the same thing happened with Stuart Hall, and his sentence was increased on appeal.
