Rolf Harris has been found guilty of indecently assaulting four girls in the UK between 1968 and 1986.
The jury took eight days to deliver unanimous verdicts on all 12 charges of indecent assault in London.
The 84-year-old has been granted bail until his sentencing on Friday, but has been told to expect a custodial sentence.
Rolf Harris's fall from grace
The entertainer's 60-year career in music, TV and the arts garnered him a legion of fans at home and abroad.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail.
Harris listened impassively - with the aid of a hearing loop - as the verdicts were read out.
Only after the final "guilty" verdict was read out and the jurors had left the court did Harris finally stand.
He sipped from a plastic cup and then left the dock.
He went into a small room at Southwark Crown Court with his legal team before being joined by his wife Alwen and daughter Bindi, who had broken down in tears after the verdicts and was consoled by Harris's long-time agent Jan Kennedy.
Justice Nigel Sweeney made it clear Harris could expect to be sent to jail later this week.
"Given the conviction on all 12 counts, it's inevitable that the type of sentence uppermost in the court's mind is a custodial sentence," the judge said.
Justice Sweeney thanked the jurors for their service and said they had conducted themselves in an exemplary fashion with scrupulous attention to their duties.
Harris's legal team have 28 days to lodge an appeal on his behalf.
A spokesman for the Harris family said no-one, including the star's lawyers, agents or friends, would be making "any public comments or be available for interview either here or in Australia".
"The Harris family has also asked that their privacy be respected at this time," he said in a statement.
In addition to the four complainants in the trial, another six women gave supporting evidence that the artist and entertainer had abused them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta between 1969 and 1991.
Harris denied inappropriately touching any of the alleged victims and pleaded not guilty in court. "They are all making it up," he told the jury in late May.
During the case, prosecutor Sasha Wass QC said none of Harris's accusers knew each other but their accounts bore "striking similarities".
She described Harris as a "sinister pervert" who used his fame to mesmerise his victims, treating "underage girls as sexual objects" to be "groped and mauled".
Harris was arrested in March last year on suspicion of sexual offences as part of Operation Yewtree, which was set up following revelations about the late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile.

why'd his wife cry for him? i'd divorce him and cry for the girls instead. so what if his career is ruined? it's his fault. he screwed up. he couldn't keep his urges in his pants long enough to get away from those girls.

hmm... if he was innocent, he wouldn't have responded how he did to being voted guilty.
I completely disagree. If I was in that position, I would react the same way. Regardless of what I were to do, the charges and sentence would stand. No need to feel bad about something I didn't do. Also, he's lived his life, pretty sure he is retired if not close to, so it shouldn't bother him by much. But then again, that's just me.
