Gary Glitter has been found guilty of a series of child-sex offenses that took place in the 1970s and 1980s.

Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, who denied all charges against him in a London court, was convicted of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one count of having sex with a girl under 13.

He was acquitted of three other charges stemming from decades-old incidents, including an indecent-assault charge and one count of "administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse," according to the BBC.

A police spokesperson said that Glitter had "shown himself to be a sexual predator who took advantage of the star status afforded to him by targeting young girls who trusted him and were in awe of his fame," and that "his lack of remorse and defense that the victims were lying make his crimes all the more indefensible."

The police are still investigating other claims against Glitter, who will remain in custody until his sentencing on February 27.
