Early release chance for pervert Glitter
DISGRACED former glam rocker Gary Glitter could be released early from his three-year jail sentence for molesting two Vietnamese girls, it was disclosed today.
Glitter, 62, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed in March last year for sexually molesting the two girls, aged ten and 11, in the southern Vietnamese coastal city of Vung Tau.
Now prison chiefs at the Thu Duc detention centre where he is being held have said he is on a list of inmates being considered for early release as part of next month's Lunar New Year celebrations.
Vietnam traditionally reduces the terms of inmates with good prison records at that time of year. If his sentence is reduced, Glitter could be released as early as May.
Under Vietnamese law, prisoners can be nominated for early release if they have behaved well and their fellow inmates recommend it. Nearly everyone in the jail voted for Glitter's early release, according to an official.
