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.

I don't have time to read them all but this one, from his 2008 album "24 Hours" (in which he tells a young girl, "I'M GONNA DROP THE LOAD ON YOU"), stands out:
"SUGAR DADDY"
I've got male intuition I've got sexual ambition I'm the last great tradition Let me state my position
The older I get The better I was It's all just a show It's all just because The show must go on What else can it do? I'm gonna drop the load on you
Sugar, sugar daddy, Sugar
I got no inhibition I got all the ammunition Got the moves with position Can't you see my condition?
You gotta get your hands dirty When you're digging a ditch And : gods Revenge on the rich
Got the money got the moves Got the looks and the brakes Got the shirt got the shoes Got what it takes
You've got to lay it down Tell me what you need You've got to lay it down Get up, up from your feet you know I get it down You wanted sorrow, want it sweet Daddy always gives you what is good for you
Sugar, sugar daddy, Sugar
I've got male intuition It's a desperate condition Nearly out of ammunition Sexual ambition
Whoa! Holy schmoly I'm a one man army Yeah, a one man mob Woo-hoo I'm the McDaddy You don't send a boy to do a man's job
And you make me feel Like I'm not alone I've been singing this song Since before you were born Baby, you're invited But your friend can't come He's a little too excited Maybe a little too young
Ah baby, you're invited But your friend can't come He's a little too rich Maybe a little too young The show must go on What else can it do? I'm gonna drop it all on you
Sugar, sugar daddy Sugar, sugar daddy Sugar, sugar daddy Sugar, sugar daddy Sugar
