GARY GLITTER T SHIRTS TRIAL

Glitter, who is hard of hearing and was aided throughout the trial by two lip speaking interpreters, arrived at court each day in his trademark dark glasses and a variety of different coloured tailored jackets, patterned silk scarf and a felt or cossack hat. Police said on Thursday that they had received information during the course of the trial about potential other attacks and were looking into them. This guilty verdict is testament to his victims’ courage.” Mark Castle, of Victim Support, said: “It takes tremendous strength to report sexual abuse and to then go on and testify in court, especially in such a high-profile case as this one and others linked to Operation Yewtree. She said she hoped the trial would encourage other victims of sexual abuse to come forward. Crimes such as these have repercussions for victims that can last for a lifetime.” Watt said: “Thankfully the jury has seen through all the fake tears, and his attempts to paint his victims as liars, gold diggers or opportunistic fantasists.”Ĭhief crown prosecutor and head of CPS London, Baljit Ubhey, said: “Paul Gadd abused his access to young fans in order to give himself the opportunities to assault and abuse his victims. Peter Watt, the director of national services at NSPCC, said the singer was devious and manipulative throughout his trial, and he praised the bravery of his victims for coming forward.

His lack of remorse and defence that the victims were lying make his crimes all the more indefensible.” He said: “Paul Gadd has shown himself to be a habitual sexual predator, who took advantage of the star status afforded to him by targeting young girls who trusted him and were in awe of his fame. He would shower his fans with red roses at his concerts, he told the court, and give them jackets, T-shirts and other gifts.īut his fame allowed him to target the vulnerable among them and subject them to sexual assaults which he told one was “our secret”.ĭetective Chief Inspector Michael Orchard from the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said that Gadd was the first person arrested under Operation Yewtree.

Gadd committed the six offences during the height of “Glittermania” – when thousands of his screaming fans would gather at airports and he could not walk down the street without being recognised. She wanted them to know that it wasn’t just images, she said. She summoned the courage to go to the police when she heard he had been arrested for child abuse images. But that night in 1975, as she lay sleeping with a friend, the star crept into their bed and attempted to rape her, an attack which left her broken and ashamed, she said. One, a nurse in her 40s, told the jury how the singer, by then a household name who had sold 18m records, had picked her up in his Rolls-Royce and driven her to a mansion, with a special “sweets room”, a swimming pool and a pony, when she was eight. It was during this period that his three victims, now grown women, found the courage to tell the police about the abuse, although they had previously confided in others.Įach broke down in tears as they described how the star they had idolised as children had abused them. Later, in 2012, he was arrested as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation, set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal. He was convicted in 1999 of building up a library of 4,000 such images, some involving children as young as two. However, that vanished after the singer’s fall from grace when he was found to have a “voracious” appetite for child abuse images. His predatory sexual offences against his child victims, including fans that helped propel him to stardom, went unpunished for 40 years because of the “immunity of fame”, the prosecution said during the trial.

He blew kisses to the public gallery, full of reporters, as he was led down to the cells. The father of three, whose real name is Paul Gadd, raised his eyebrows and looked shocked when the verdicts were read out. Glitter was cleared of two counts of indecent assault and one count of administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse. On the opening track 'Gary Glitter', The Methadones proudly display their love for the man's music with the song's stomping beat, slick riffs and gang vocal choruses, but in lyric show a distaste for the man himself by asking plain and simple, 'What the fuck is wrong with Gary Glitter?' The flipside of the ep features the straight up pop punk gem 'Over The Moon.' Few people can write a song as catchy and perfect in its simplicity as front man Dan Schafer.Judge Alistair McCreath told him: “In light of verdicts, I am remanding him in custody.” 'Gary Glitter' - the first 7' release by The Methadones - picks up right where their '21st Century Power Pop Riot' album left off with an ode to the king of glam himself.
