A Braunstone councillor has told how she found paedophile pop star Gary Glitter in the bath with a 12-year-old girl while she was working as a chambermaid at Leicester's Holiday Inn.
Anne Glover came forward with claims she walked in on the rocker with the girl in 1977 after reading about his trial in the Leicester Mercury last month.
Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, 70, is facing life behind bars for offences against young girls which took place during the peak of his career.
One of the incidents involved the glam rocker luring a besotted 12-year-old fan to the Holiday Inn, in St Nicolas Circle, where he subjected her to a night of alcohol-fuelled sexual abuse.
Details of the act were heard at Southwark Crown Court, where Glitter was yesterday found guilty of sexually abusing three schoolgirls almost four decades ago.

In a statement read out by the judge, Councillor Glover described how she had burst in on Glitter in the bath with a young girl.
"I immediately recognised Gary Glitter as I had seen him thousands of times on the telly.
"It was clearly him as he had big quiffy hair at the front that had been slicked back at the sides with big sideboards.
"The girl who was sitting at the other end of the bath I could only see from her shoulders upwards because of her size.
"She was sitting with her knees up under her chin. She looked very skinny with natural blonde hair."
Coun Glover reported the horrific scene to her supervisor at the time, who replied: "Well, you know what they're like."
Although it was read out in court, Coun Glover's evidence was not put before the jury because it was adduced too late. Therefore, it could not be reported until after the verdict was reached.
Jurors deliberated for less than two days before finding Glitter guilty of attempted rape, unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and four counts of indecent assault.
The pervert was cleared of two counts of sexual assault and one count of administering alcohol with intent to stupefy or overpower to enable unlawful sexual intercourse.
Glitter's spectacular downfall began in 1997, when he was caught with 4,000 sickening images on his laptop of children being sexually abused.
The images were discovered after he put his computer in for repair at PC World in Bristol.
He was the first person arrested and the fifth person charged as part of Operation Yewtree - the investigation set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
