A jury in Britain found former glam rock singer Gary Glitter guilty of a string of sex abuse offenses against three young girls in the 1970s and '80s.
The 70-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was found guilty of one count of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault, and one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13.
He was convicted by a jury of five men and seven women at a London court.
Glitter blew kisses to a public gallery full of reporters as he was remanded in custody and led away to a cell. He will be sentenced on Feb. 27.
The singer was arrested in October 2012, the first in a series of arrests under Operation Yewtree, the national investigation police launched in the wake of a child abuse scandal surrounding late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile.
