Gary Glitter victim speaks out after learning paedophile popstar went on to abuse others

The new Gary Glitter ITV documentary released last night (23 April) includes a woman describing the moment she learned he had continued to attack children years after abusing her.

Known only as ‘Woman A’, the woman says: "I was just really angry, because it just became instantly clear to me that this had never ever stopped and it was still his thing."

Glitter, 79, real name Paul Gadd, was jailed for 16 years in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls between 1975 and 1980.

Glitter was released on licence in 2023 but recalled to prison one month later for viewing illegal images of children.
