Former Glam Rocker Gary Glitter Found Guilty of Sex Abuse, Faces Life in Prison

After being charged in June with a number of sex offenses, Gary Glitter (real name Paul Gadd) has been convicted of one count of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one count of having sex with a girl under the age of 13, the BBC reports.

Gadd, 70, denied all charges, and he was acquitted of three counts of sexual assault, according to the outlet.

During the course of the trial, which took place in Southwark Crown Court, London, other complainants had reportedly come forward. As a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman told the The Telegraph, officers had "received other information" that is "currently being assessed."

Gadd is facing life in prison for having had sex with an underage girl; his sentencing will take place Feb. 27, according to The Guardian.

Perhaps best known for his hit "Rock & Roll (Part 2)," the British former singer was arrested back in October 2012 for offenses that occurred between 1977 and 1980.

As the BBC reports, the court heard one victim who was under the age of 10 when he tried to rape her in 1975.

In November 1997, Gadd was arrested after child pornography was found on his laptop; he was sentenced to four months in prison in 1999 and was listed as a sex offender in the United Kingdom.

In 2000, Gadd fled to Spain and then to Cuba and Cambodia. He was deported from Cambodia in 2003, however, over other alleged sex offenses. His next stop was Vietnam, where he was arrested in 2005 following accusations of "obscene acts with a child" made by two girls aged under 18.

One of the rape charges was dropped, though he did admit that an 11-year-old had slept in his bed. He was forced to give compensatory payments to the girls' families.

Not long after, in March 2006, Gadd was tried on more charges of obscene acts, this time with two girls aged 10 and 11. Found guilty, he was imprisoned for three years. As part of his sentence, he was deported back to Britain from Vietnam upon his early release in August 2008.

Finally, in 2012, police uncovered new evidence of sexual abuse committed by Glitter in the 1970s, for which he is now facing life in prison.
