Gary Glitter has appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, where the 82-year-old former pop star denied four historical sex offence charges dating back to 1978 on Wednesday. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, followed the brief hearing via video link from prison. He was told he will next appear at the Old Bailey on 2 September.
The Metropolitan Police said Gadd had been charged with one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and three counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1978 and 1981 at a residential address in Kensington, west London, when the complainant was aged between eight and 11. There is a single alleged victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons and is being supported by specialist officers.
