Former glam rock star Gary Glitter is facing a lengthy jail term after being found guilty of a string of historical sex offences against three young girls.
His victims included one who was less than 10-years-old when he crept into her bed and tried to rape her in 1975.
Glitter was also guilty of having sex with a 12-year-old and indecently assaulting a 13-year-old.
He had met the two backstage on separate occasions and they were alone with him after being isolated from their mothers, a court heard.
The former chart topper was at the height of his fame when he preyed on the youngsters.
The disgraced singer, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was found guilty of one count of attempted rape, four indecent assaults and one count of sexual intercourse.
Gadd, 70, shook his head and pursed his lips as the verdicts were read out at Southwark Crown Court.
He blew kisses to a public gallery full of reporters as he was remanded in custody and led down to the cells.
Also, as he was led away he turned to a friend in the gallery and indicated with his finger that the jury was crazy.
Gadd attacked the 12-year-old girl after a show at a Leicester nightclub in 1977.
She initially went backstage with her mother and had a gold jacket autographed while drinking champagne, but was then invited to the singer's hotel suite.
Jurors were told Gadd pushed her on to a bed and subjected her to a prolonged period of sexual abuse.
He was convicted of carrying out two indecent assaults against her and one count of sexual intercourse.
The third girl was aged 13 when the singer invited her to sit on his lap in his dressing room at a Watford club between October 1979 and December 1980.
He forcefully kissed the youngster and then slid his hand up her skirt. He was found guilty of carrying out two indecent assaults against her.
Gadd was convicted by a jury of five men and seven women and will be sentenced on 27 February.
He was cleared of two counts of indecent assault and one count of administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse.
Gadd, from Marylebone, central London, denied all the allegations.
He claimed there was no way he could have abused the girls in his dressing room because his rigorous wig-maintenance routine required him to return to his suite immediately and clean his hairpiece.
