Gary Glitter has been found guilty of historical sex abuse against three young girls between 1975 and 1980.
The 70-year-old former singer - real name Paul Gadd - was convicted of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one of having sex with a girl under the age of 13.
Gadd, who denied all charges, was acquitted of three other counts at Southwark Crown Court, London.
He was remanded in custody to be sentenced on 27 February.
'Ashamed'
The court heard one victim was under the age of 10 when Gadd, of Marylebone, central London, tried to rape her.
She said the singer had crept into her bed as she slept and that afterwards she had felt "ashamed and dirty". She only managed to escape by moving away and then wrapping herself in sheets and blankets.
The victim told the trial she had been to the star's mansion a number of times as a child and that after the attack, drunken Gadd had fallen asleep in the bed while she locked herself in a bathroom.
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.
The jury of seven women and five men had been considering their verdicts since Wednesday.
Gadd was the first person to be arrested as part of Operation Yewtree.
