Yes.
Glitter was arrested in November 1997 and released on
bail after being questioned by detectives. He was
questioned again by police in March 1998 (by which
time he had been charged w/ 50 counts of possession of
child porn).  He was tried and convicted in Nov 1998.
These dates are from the news archive at VH1.COM.

Pete's timeline will be shorter because they will not
find anything on his drives.

Incidentally, Glitter was sacked from the Quad tour in
Dec. 1996 and all subsequent shows featured PJ Proby
as the Godfather.  Roger said the stage wasn't big
enough to fit his massive ego(!).  So if you get a
chance to buy a good boot of the '97 Quad shows (such
as Quadrophenic in Oslo [April] or Taking the Magic
Bus to Nissan [July]) by all means do.  You might even
hear me cheering on the latter recording :-)
