View Full Version : Glitter maintains denial as trial starts
Gary Glitter has denied obscene acts with two girls as his court case begins in Vietnam.
The former rock star's lawyer confirmed he denies all charges – that he molested one 11-year-old girl and another aged 12 at his home in the country.
As the accused – real name Paul Gadd – left the court during lunch, reporters asked him if the girls were lying and whether he had pleaded innocent. He answered both questions with nods.
A verdict is expected on Friday. If convicted, Glitter could be jailed for up to seven years.

3 yrs in a vietnamese prison is a lot tougher than 10 years in a British Prison. I bet he dosent feel as cocky now :rotfl:well yes very true, but i still cant understand how he only got 3 years! but i guess he will do 3 years has i dont think they will get their sentences cut in half for good behaviour like they do in this country
well yes very true, but i still cant understand how he only got 3 years! but i guess he will do 3 years has i dont think they will get their sentences cut in half for good behaviour like they do in this country He has served time wanting for the trail,and it is now reported he will probably be released in November 2006, and then deported straight back to England, What a joke so won't be serving 3 years, this sounds like a paper exercise to me.
I think he paid them off about 2k each as well so they wouldn't bring chrages against him that would have meant the death penalty
I think he paid them off about 2k each as well so they wouldn't bring chrages against him that would have meant the death penaltyIt was on the news this morning that they got 300 dollars each as compo
300 dollars? What an insult.
The man's a kiddy fiddler. He's been found out twice now. Castrate the paedo.
im sure if he wasnt gary glitter it might have been a different outcome.
he deserves to be punished for what he did
Ok, so it might be tougher in those prisions, but even so, he deserves way more. He's done this so many times, dont people get the message that prison wont fase him. He did prison once, and that didn't stop him. So what makes people think he'll stop this time?! Come on, he's a registered UK sex offender under UK law. I know that the British law system meant nothing in this case, but surely they could see that he deserves a way tougher sentence.
They said on the TV that he could be out by Christmas. Personally, i dont care if its tougher in their prisons. He deserves it, and should have got way longer than that.
who cares if its tougher, its hardly a suitable punishment.
There are so many cases like this its stupid, i watched a video today where a woman bit the top of this guys ear off and sh only got community service. We cant complain as for once it isnt the english legal system, but still. Its a joke!

the man is gross and has been getting away with these things for two long, a small prison sentence like that is hardly going to deter him is it?

He is not having hard time in prison, as he`s not treated like the other prisoners as he has money and that talks.
He is not even living on rice and water like the others, as he is allowed to have food sent in to the prison for him. And he will be out by November 06 what a joke, then sent back to England to groom some more kids and even have a house next to a school or park.
he just needs to be put away for a long time and kept away from kids totally,
i really don't understand how he was allowed to give the families money before the trial????????

yes he paid them off so they dropped the allegation of rape so he got a much lighter sentence. it was only a couple of thousand he paid them which cheapens it all the more.
i didnt know he had paid them. It was awful seeing that poor woman in the court yesterday on the news the mother of the girl, and he was still saying i didnt do it.

This sentence is a joke. He should be locked up for the rest of his sorry pitiful life for what he has done. The death penalty is too good for him. It would be an easy way out, and wouldn't make him sorry. It's true what someone else said: Money does talk. I bet he's living the life of Riley.
Hardly a deterrent for all the sick B*****ds that go to the Far East in search of underage girls to rape.

Gary Glitter's foreign travel ban has been lifted, according to sources.
The former 1970s glam-rock star, whose real name is Paul Gadd, signed the sex offenders register when he returned to the UK in 2008 after being jailed for child sex offences in Vietnam.
He had previously been jailed for four months in the UK in 1999 for downloading child porn.
But the Metropolitan Police have decided not to seek to renew the now-expired order which stopped him from travelling abroad as they have no grounds to do so, it is understood.
Those on the sex offenders register are required by law to notify police of any plans to travel abroad and police can apply for a foreign travel order if they believe an individual continues to pose a danger to children.
If any new information about Glitter comes to light, the police are likely to reconsider their decision not to reapply for a travel ban on him.
Gary Glitter is to be charged with eight sexual offences relating to girls aged between 12 and 14 in the UK, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
The former singer, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was arrested on October 28, 2012, over allegations of sexual offences dating back to 1977.
Gadd is accused of four counts of indecent assault involving the first complainant, who was aged 12 or 13 at the time, between January 31 and May 31, 1977.
He faces one count of "administering a drug or other thing in order to facilitate sexual intercourse" and one of sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 between the same dates.
He is also charged with two counts of indecent assault between October 1, 1979, and December 31, 1980, involving the second complainant, who was aged 13 or 14 at the time.
Gadd will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 19.
The 70-year-old became the first person to be arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, the national investigation launched in the wake of abuse claims against Jimmy Savile, when he was held at his London home in 2012.
He was later released on police bail, which was extended in March this year.
"Having completed our review, we have concluded, in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors, that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Gadd to be charged with eight offences under the Sexual Offences Act 1956.
"These relate to two female complainants aged between 12 and 14 at the time of the alleged offending between 1977 and 1980," Baljit Ubhey, chief crown prosecutor for CPS London, said.
"We have also decided that no further action should be taken in relation to five allegations made by two further complainants as we determined there was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction."

Former pop star Gary Glitter has been jailed for a total of 16 years for sexually abusing three young girls between 1975 and 1980.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was sentenced for attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one of having sex with a girl under 13.
Sentencing, Judge Alistair McCreath said he could find "no real evidence" that Gadd had atoned for his crimes.
The 70-year-old showed no emotion as he left the dock at Southwark Crown Court.
Judge McCreath told Gadd it was clear his victims "were all profoundly affected" by his abuse of them.
"You did all of them real and lasting damage and you did so for no other reason than to obtain sexual gratification for yourself of a wholly improper kind." he said.
