Clues:
-1970s
-Brit POP (as oppose to Brit Rock or Brit Glam Rock or Brit Punk or Brit New Wave or Brit Soul etc.
Rules out creeps from The Who and Led Zep., talked about frequently on this board.
I can't think of any legendary British "pop" stars from the 1970s apart from Elton John or Cliff Richard - and I don't think they like 'girls.' Its also worth noting that The Sun are notorious for planting subtle clues - perhaps a pun on a well known song, for example - in articles where they can't name names.
Can anyone guess?

My money's on Tom Jones. One, because I've been alive a long time and remember how popular he was in the 60s and 70s. He even had a variety show on US television. According to Wikipedia he was a "POP" star. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Jones_(singer).
Also, according to the SUN article cited above, the "pop star" in question performed as a solo act. In light of everything discussed by all y'all in this thread, my money's on Tom Jones. I'M SICK OVER IT. Seems like everyone's a bloody pedophile, even Tom Jones, who's been knighted by The Queen.
