JapanFormer British pop star Paul Gadd, known professionally as Gary Glitter, pleaded not guilty to eight sex offense charges in a London court. The 82-year-old artist, who gained fame in the 1970s as a glam-rock performer, faces allegations of abusing a young girl between 1978 and 1981 when she was aged eight to 11. The charges include indecent assault, indecency with a child, and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. Gadd appeared via video link from prison and denied the accusations. Prosecutors claim the incidents occurred at his Kensington home. He remains in custody pending trial in early 2025.
