Glitter gets 3 years for molesting girls

VUNG TAU, VIETNAM -- A Vietnamese court sentenced former rocker Gary Glitter to three years in prison today for obscene acts with two young Vietnamese girls and a melee erupted in the courtroom when Glitter shouted, "I'm innocent," after the verdict.

Reporters and onlookers, allowed into the courthouse in southern Ba Ria-Vung province to hear the verdict following the closed two-day trial, pressed toward Glitter in a scene of pandemonium as police fended them off and escorted him out of the building.

"I haven't done anything. I'm innocent. It's a conspiracy," he shouted.

Glitter, 61, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted of committing obscene acts with a 10-year-old and 11-year-old girl at his rented seaside villa in southern Vung Tau last year. He was sentenced to three years in prison, followed by deportation.

The court, in its verdict, cited graphic testimony from the girls that Glitter had fondled and molested them and took showers with them naked in his rented home and in nearby hotels.

Known best for the song Rock & Roll, Part 2, Glitter has been in custody since Nov. 19, when he was arrested in Ho Chi Minh City as he tried to board a flight out of the country. Police confiscated his laptop, which had hundreds of pornographic pictures on it.

Lesson for old bastard perverts: you can't go to other countries and molest young little girls <using money> and get away with it.

Don't you love it when he said "I am innocent" but his laptop is full of porn pics. I am sure that was Michael Jackon's laptop..LOL.
 
I thought the dirty old men went to Thailand for that sort of thing? I remember the story a couple of years back about that executive in California who got busted for trying to do the same thing.
 
well, i dont know how fair the vietnamese court systems are, so i cant pass judgement on whether or not he really is guilty (besides, it just said porn pics on his computer, not underage porn).

however, three years for molesting two underage girls?!?!

Given how brutul the Viet prison system is (communist), it'll be like serving 30 years in an american prison. He'll be lucky to survive.

They did but the Thai government is cracking down and the AIDS scare so those old perverts are moving on to "new and fresh" territories such as Vietnam and Cambodia.

Heh...whoa to them for fvcking around like that in communist countries. They'll likely get much much more than what is coming to them....
 
The best part is that he paid the families $2K apiece to drop the charges.

That's like the bargain of the century (had it worked).

In communist countries, if you have porn pics, you are in big trouble <kiddy or not>. People don't understand that when you are out of the USA, your rights are not as broad as you thought it would be.

For example, in the US, you can say "George Bush is the worst president ever and I would never vote for him". Good luck to say something like that <against the local government> in China/N. Korea, Vietnam, etc.

 
BTW... WTF is Garry Glitter?

He had that stupid "Rock and Roll Pt. 1" song that they play at sporting events all the time..

No real words, other than when everyone joyously yells "HEY!" at the appropriate times.

You want more proofs? Here you go.

-------------------------
By 1997 he was poised for "one final tour", but he made the headlines for very different reasons when he was arrested on November 18, 1997, after indecent images were found stored on a computer he took to be repaired at PC World.

He served half of his four-month sentence and emerged from jail in tears to say: "I deeply regret doing what I was sent to prison for."

After his release, he moved to Cuba but was banned by the Cuban authorities. He later went to Cambodia but was expelled in December 2002 after he was held in jail for three nights after allegedly trawling for underage sex.

Of course you can, otherwise Thailand and Costa Rica would have almost no tourism.
