\n\tDisgraced British glam rock star Gary Glitter has been charged with additional counts of child sexual abuse in the U.K.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 82-year-old \u201cRock and Roll\u201d singer (real name Paul Gadd) has repeatedly been convicted of pedophilia and is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence in England for sexually abusing three young girls in the 1970s. On Thursday (July 2), London\u2019s Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service accused him of abusing a fourth girl under the age of 13 during that same period at a home in Kensington.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis follows allegations made by a woman relating to a period of alleged abuse that took place between 1978 and 1981,\u201d said lead prosecutor Bethan<\/strong> David <\/strong>in a public announcement. \u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGlitter is charged in this new case with one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a child and three counts of indecent assault. Police say the victim reported the alleged crimes in January 2025 and that Glitter was interviewed as part of their lengthy investigation before charges were filed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe former pop star is set to appear in Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court to address the charges on Aug. 5. He could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n\tGlitter has been a convicted sex offender since 1999, when he pled guilty<\/a> in the U.K. to possessing child sexual abuse material. In 2006, he was sentenced to three years in a Vietnamese prison<\/a> for sexually abusing two girls aged 10 and 11 in the country.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer was then arrested again in London in 2012 as part of \u201cOperation Yewtree,\u201d a massive U.K. probe into historical child sex abuse that stemmed from allegations against late BBC television host Jimmy Savile. Glitter was convicted in 2015 of abusing three young girls and sentenced to 16 years in prison.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was initially granted probation after serving half the sentence in 2023, but returned to jail within a month after breaching the terms of his release. He remains incarcerated at Channings Wood Prison in Devon, England.<\/p>\n
