Gary Glitter to be sentenced for schoolgirl sex abuse
Disgraced glam rock singer Gary Glitter faces sentencing today for sex attacks on three schoolgirls during the 1970s.
The 70-year-old, real name Paul Gadd, is facing a maximum of life in prison after being found guilty of having sex with a girl under the age of 13.
He was also convicted earlier this month of one count of attempted rape and four counts of indecent assault after a three week trial.
He is due to be sentenced by Judge Alistair McCreath at Southwark Crown Court in London.
