Former pop star Gary Glitter has been charged with four sexual offences against a girl dating back to 1978, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Paul Gadd, 82, has been charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and three counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14. This is in connection to alleged sexual offences against a child dating back to 1978.
Bethan David, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor in CPS London, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Paul Gadd with one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and three counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14.
“This follows allegations made by a woman relating to a period of alleged abuse that took place between 1978 and 1981.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.
“We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegations.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that proceedings are now active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
“It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
Gadd will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, August 5, in relation to the above charges.
The charges relate to one person and the alleged offences are said to have taken place between the years of 1978-1981 at a residential address in Kensington.
