Gary Glitter Pleads Not Guilty to Child Sexual Abuse Charges
Accusations against the glam rock singer relate to incidents that are said to have occurred between 1978 and 1981.
Former glam rock star Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday via videolink from a prison in Devon, England, pleading not guilty to eight charges of sexual offences. The alleged offences occurred between 1978 and 1981 against a young girl, who was between eight and 11 years old at the time.
Gadd, who is currently serving an inmate sentence in Devon, denied the charges, which include two allegations of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13. The Crown Prosecution Service brought the charges in July after receiving allegations from a woman who reported the incidents to the police last year. The trial is scheduled to commence in November next year.
