Gary Glitter entered not guilty pleas on Wednesday to eight allegations involving sexual offences from decades ago.
The Rock and Roll performer, whose legal name is Paul Gadd, joined proceedings at London's Southwark Crown Court by video from prison and denied every allegation.
The charges include four allegations of indecent assault, two of indecency involving a child and two of sexual intercourse with a girl younger than 13.
BBC News reported that the 82 year old declared he was "absolutely not guilty" when answering two allegations before responding "not guilty" to the other six.
Judge Tony Baumgartner set the case to begin on 22 November 2027, with proceedings anticipated to continue for approximately three weeks.
Each allegation concerns the same person and relates to events said to have occurred at Gadd's residence in London's Kensington area from 12 March 1978 through 31 December 1981. She was reportedly between eight and 11 years old during that period.
The Crown Prosecution Service, also known as the CPS, confirmed the charges involving the former glam rock musician in July.
The claims were initially brought to the Metropolitan Police in January 2025. Gadd later faced questioning connected to the investigation in July of the same year.
The I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am) vocalist, who became widely known during the 1970s, remained in custody following the court appearance.
Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
