Former pop star Gary Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, is charged in the UK with historical child sexual offences dating back to the late 1970s. Prosecutors say the charges relate to alleged offences against a girl, with reporting referring to allegations involving a child under 13 or under 14, and dates beginning as far back as 1978. According to coverage of his prior conviction, Glitter is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence imposed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls in England between 1975 and 1980. Multiple outlets report that the new matter is linked to a girl and that he has been questioned by police in connection with the allegations. The new charges are described as multiple counts, with one report stating there are four historical offences. Daily Mail reporting says Glitter is expected to appear in court at Westminster Magistrates’ Court next month. Coverage is consistent that Glitter is already imprisoned and that the latest charges concern alleged conduct from earlier decades, with the cases now set to proceed through the legal process.
