Former pop singer Gary Glitter has entered a plea of not guilty to historical child sexual abuse charges, according to multiple news reports.
The charges follow new allegations brought against the former performer earlier in the summer. According to court filings and report details, the charges involve allegations of sexual abuse against an eight-year-old girl dating back to the late 1970s.
Court Appearance and Allegations
Glitter formally submitted his plea during a court appearance following a fresh investigation into historical offenses. The allegations date to the late 1970s, expanding upon previous legal actions involving the former glam rock artist.
The latest plea marks a continuation of ongoing legal proceedings concerning allegations of historic sexual offenses brought by law enforcement authorities.
Documentary Release Delayed
The new legal developments have also had broader ramifications for media projects centered on the musician. Streaming service Netflix announced a delay in the scheduled launch of a documentary covering Gary Glitter, attributing the postponement to “new legal information.”
