Disgraced singer Gary Glitter refused jail release

I worked a job once where the manager instigated an ice breaking exercise.. you know the sort of thing… tell me two truths about yourself and one lie.

One of his truths was that “he once licked sweat of Gary glitter’s chest.”

I kind of bet he regrets that disclosure, now.

This is hardly a surprise, given that the first thing he did when released before was try to circumvent the restrictions placed on him.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Convicted sex offender Gary Glitter will remain behind bars after losing a Parole Board bid.

The 79-year-old was automatically released in February last year but was put back behind bars six weeks later after breaching his licence conditions.

The summary of the Parole Board panel's decision said: "It found on the evidence that at the time of the offending, and while he was on licence, Mr Gadd had a sexual interest in underage girls."

It said Gadd had not taken part in any programmes in prison to address his offending and continues to deny having a sexual interest in children.

The decision published by the Parole Board on Wednesday continued: "After considering the circumstances of his offending, the lack of progress made while in custody and on licence, and the other evidence presented at the hearing, the panel was not satisfied that release at this point would be safe for the protection of the public.

Gadd's crimes stretching back to the 1970s were uncovered after Operation Yewtree was launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
