Is 3 years enough for Glitter ?
I must admit being pretty pissed off when I heard/read that he'd paid off the families to get off the rape charges - but they have found him guilty of a lesser crime and given him 3 years jail. It is a Vietnamese prison after all! not really a bed of roses I wouldn't think.
Som nam na. and good riddance I say.
Glitter jailed for child sex offences
Friday Mar 3 14:47 AEDT
Former British glam rocker Gary Glitter has been jailed by a Vietnamese court for three years for sex offences against two under-aged girls.
The disgraced 1970s pop star stood accused of molesting two local girls aged 11 and 12 last year at his rented seaside bungalow in the southern resort town of Vung Tau, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.
Glitter, 61, the first foreigner to face a sex crimes trial in post-war Vietnam, had maintained his innocence since his arrest in November.
Prosecutors asked that Glitter be sentenced to up to four years in prison.
