Police in Vietnam want to question Gary Glitter over alleged sex with underage girls

Vietnamese police want to speak to Gary Glitter after the Thanh Nien newspaper reported neighbours saw him with girls aged fifteen or younger, with up to 12 years in prison possible if convicted.

The police in Vietnam have issued a statement saying they want to speak to Gary Glitter, following reports that he's been seen with underage girls in the country's official Thanh Nien youth newspaper. According to that publication, neighbours say they have seen the shamed star taking home girls of fifteen or younger. Spokesman Le Dung said that "very strict legal measures would be applied...if we have evidence of child sexual violation."

Glitter, born Paul Gadd, could face up to 12 years in prison in Vietnam if convicted of having sex with a minor. As you may remember, the singer was convicted back in 1999 of possession of child pornography, having had around 4000 images of some very nasty sounding hardcore stuff on his PC. He subsequently spent four months in prison, leaving the UK on his release to travel through Cuba and South East Asia. His name is currently on an entry blacklist in Cambodia.
