Gary Glitter Sued for Compensation by Abuse Victim

The lawsuit seeks damages for severe abuse in the 1970s, with a court hearing adjourned to March 27.

A victim of Gary Glitter is suing him for compensation over severe abuse suffered in the 1970s, following his 2015 conviction.
The woman, who was 12 at the time of the abuse, has already secured a default judgment in her favor regarding Glitter's liability.
Glitter, 79, did not attend the hearing and has not engaged with the civil case. The court adjourned to March 27 to ensure he received case documents.
The victim has received severe psychiatric diagnoses, including complex PTSD, due to the profound impact of the abuse on her life.
Glitter's parole bid was rejected in February 2024, and he is currently serving a 16-year sentence for sexually abusing three schoolgirls.
