Victim’s lawyers say disgraced former pop star ignored court order after woman won damages for abuse suffered as a child
GARY GLITTER has been declared bankrupt after failing to pay more than £500,000 in damages to a woman he sexually abused as a child.
The former pop star, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was ordered last year to pay £508,800 to the victim, who was abused when she was 12.
The award included more than £380,000 for loss of earnings, as well as further sums for future therapy and treatment.
Lawyers acting for the woman said Gadd had refused to co-operate with the legal process and had shown no regard for the court’s ruling.
