Somerset - Pop singer Gary Glitter has been charged with a further five sexual offences, and released on bail, Avon and Somerset, police said last night.
Glitter (54), whose real name is Paul Gadd, is accused of four offences of indecently assaulting a girl. Police said one charge dates from 1976 and the others relate to alleged incidents between 1980 and 1983.
The singer already faces 50 charges relating to indecent images of children allegedly found stored on a computer he took for repair. Mr Glitter's lawyer Henri Brandman said his client, who attended a police station yesterday to face the charges, "vigorously protests his innocence".
