Former glam rock star Gary Glitter allegedly assaulted a teenage girl in a Watford nightclub, a court heard today.
Southwark Crown Court heard the assault had taken place in Mr Glitter's dressing room at Baileys Nightclub, now known as Oceana, after a woman, who was aged 13 or 14 at the time, was taken back stage after his show to meet him.
According to the BBC, Mr Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, told the jury in court today the assault would be their "secret".
The woman, who is now 48, said she had been taken to meet him by her mother and her mother's partner who worked in the music industry.
Allegedly, the singer then asked if he could be left alone with her and the ordeal between the two lasted ten minutes.
Mr Glitter is accused of two counts of indecent assault in relation to the woman.
The court also heard how a 12-year-old girl, now 50, allegedly had sex with Mr Glitter at a hotel after a show in Leicester in 1977.
The case continues.
