Gary Glitter's conviction marks the lowest point in a spectacular fall from grace for the ageing rocker.
It is a far cry from his glam rock heyday of the 1970s, when his spangly silver outfits, platform boots, and numerous chart hits, including I'm The Leader of the Gang, Rock and Roll (Part 1 and 2); Do You Wanna Touch Me and I Love You Love Me Love, made him a household name.
At the height of his success in 1975 he had sold 18 million records.
While his stardom faded, Glitter's appeal continued to endure into the 1990s, with his face appearing in advertising posters for Heinz soup and British Rail.
However, his career came crashing down when he was arrested, after dozens of images of child sex abuse were found on his computer's hard disk.
In November 1999, he was sentenced to four months in prison for possessing the images.
:: Forced To Flee Cuba
On his release, Glitter travelled to Cuba and rekindled a relationship he had had with a young woman in the 1990s, whom he met when she was 21, and with whom he fathered a child.
However, he left the Caribbean island before seeing his son born amid reports of a government crackdown on sex tourism.
:: Expelled From Cambodia
Glitter moved from Cuba to Cambodia and lived there for a period until, in 2002, he was expelled permanently.
No official reason was given but there were rumours of suspected child abuse.
