While he was sentenced to two years, he was released last week after serving almost a year on remand in Wandsworth prison. Cara was pictured chatting to her man as they returned to London together, before getting into a car and heading home.
While Cara dressed up in tight white leggings and a loose hooded top, Harris wore a grey hoodie as he stared at his girlfriend mid-conversation. The year-old Liverpudlian quipped about his "champagne tastes, lemonade money" when asked to explain his luxury lifestyle of fast cars, expensive holidays and designer outfits.
Quizzed about the bank notes, he claimed he was given the money to help fund his suspected drug smuggler father's legal defence. The prosecution claimed Harris drove Miss Kilbey's white Porsche to meetings, while all the time keeping the business at "arm's length". The couple met in Spain in the summer of when Miss Kilbey fell pregnant, only to suffer the heartache of losing their first child, the court heard.
Mr Kilbey described his daughter's lover as a "good man" and said he had wanted to help him set up a Cross Fit gym in exchange for retrieving some debts.
Harris listed his former interests as "chasing girls", football and gambling, as well as occasionally indulging in cocaine, even though his current girlfriend disapproved of drugs. He knew some of his friends were drug dealers and, after being let in on their secret during a ski holiday to Verbier in Switzerland and made use of the moped delivery service once, he said. Harris's father was arrested in December for allegedly smuggling drugs from Spain to the UK but Harris said that he in "no way" had anything to do with it.
The other defendants have already been sentenced for their various involvement in either or both of the drugs plots. The cocaine was marked with the labels 'Fox' and 'Cocoa' while the self-sealed bags used by the gang were emblazoned with the Union Jack flag. Police also found mopeds equipped with 'Knowledge Boards' and 'top boxes' for the rear of the bike which were used to transport the drugs.
Checks with Transport for London revealed that none of the gang had ever registered to learn 'The Knowledge'. Eight men admitted their role in the network and were jailed for a total of 63 years and three months in December.
Mastermind Jay Tripp, 34, was jailed for 16 years and six months, along with his right hand man Joseph Maloney, 33, who was jailed for 15 years. Danny Ward, 33, was jailed for 11 years, while Niall Kellaghan, 29, and Jack Lyman, 27, were both handed seven years. Dean Standen, 33, was jailed for seven years and nine months, while Daniel Crook was jailed for five years.
Frederick Jennings, 20, was handed 21 months imprisonment suspended for two years, and ordered to complete hours unpaid work. Harris admitted knowing many of the members of the gang but said he would just meet up with them for the odd pint.
Maloney and Harris communicated regularly over the PGP - 'pretty good privacy' - programme, but Harris insisted it was just for a bit of lad's banter. Harris was also accused of conspiracy to supply heroin between 4 and 9 May as well as the conspiracy to supply cocaine between 1 September and 4 March Jurors heard Harris was watched meeting one gang member in Surrey Quays on 7 May and walking around Euston Station talking with another gang member two weeks later on 21 May.
Harris, of Theydon Bois, Essex, was acquitted of two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs but found guilty of one charge of possessing criminal property. Miss Kilbey was not present at the trial, but wept in court when Harris was refused bail in September last year.
The year-old always maintained his innocence as he was locked away from Cara and their baby daughter, Penelope Blu, in Wandsworth prison for more than a year after he was taken into custody in early It can now be reported Cara, 29, sobbed in court after a third failed bid to free him on bail as he awaited trial.
Her doting father Gary Kilbey, who is the multi-millionaire co-owner of Fabric nightclub, offered a seven-figure 'leg up' to Harris, the father of his grandchild. David Whittaker, defending Harris, said Mr Kilbey had only known the applicant for 18 months and Mr Harris was in a relationship with his daughter Cara. The barrister added: 'The defendant is 33 years of age and only has one minor driving conviction.
He worked for banks until RBS had overpaid him and had to recoup this money. He has strong community ties. His sister is a nurse. It is the third time I have looked at this and I am not persuaded on the papers. Harris lived in a luxury flat with the star and their baby daughter surrounded by designer clothes and shoes.
