Police assessing other information after Glitter conviction
Scotland Yard has confirmed it is currently assessing other information received in light of Gary Glitter's conviction.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Orchard, from Operation Yewtree, said Glitter was a "habitual sexual predator who took advantage of the star status afforded to him".
He added: "His lack of remorse and defence that the victims were lying make his crimes all the more indefensible."
Victim Support, which provided support to Glitter's victims as they attended court to give evidence, meanwhile praised the women for giving evidence that was crucial in the singer's conviction.
