Gary Glitter convicted of committing numerous sexual offenses with minors
After decades of inexplicably avoiding serious jail time for committing a series of sexual offenses against young girls in the ‘70s, a London court has finally convicted Gary Glitter of one count of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault, and one count of having sex with an underage girl. Glitter—his real name is Paul Gadd—spent four months in a British prison in 1999 after someone repairing his computer found a collection of child pornography. After that, he fled to Vietnam, where he was also imprisoned—for three years—for committing “obscene acts with children.” Basically, he’s a fucking creep.
