Former UK pop star Gary Glitter is charged with 8 sex offences, crimes involving women who were aged 12 and 14 at the time between 1977 and 1980. Females aged 12 and 14 are not women, they are girls.
The singer, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was first arrested by British police in October 2012 over allegations of sexual offences and evidence gathered by the police has since been handed over to prosecutors.
British prosecutors say they are charging former pop star Gary Glitter with eight sex offences involving teenage girls.
The 70-year-old's arrest in October 2012 was the first in a series of arrests under the Operation Yewtree national investigation that was launched in the wake of a child abuse scandal surrounding late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile.
Glitter is best known for the hit Rock & Roll (Part 2), but he fell into disgrace after being convicted on child sex abuse charges in Vietnam.
