It's been confirmed that Gary Glitter's prison term in Vietnam has been cut by three months. He has, however, failed to secure an immediate release, following speculation that he may have the remainder of his sentence waived as part of an annual local amnesty coinciding with Lunar New Year. That means he will now remain in prison for at least another eighteen months.
As previously reported, Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, is serving a three year term of imprisonment after being judged guilty last year of molesting two young girls in the Vietnam's Vung Tau province. He is due to be released in August 2008.
