Gary Glitter sex trial adjourned

The trial of former pop star Gary Glitter over a string of historic sex offences against three girls has been adjourned.

The 70-year-old, whose real name is Paul Gadd, faces 10 charges relating to alleged crimes committed in the 1970s and 1980.

He appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court today but Judge Alistair McCreath adjourned the trial until Monday.

Glitter wore tinted glasses as he sat in the dock for the hour-long administrative hearing.
