Glam rock star Gary Glitter jailed for 16 years for child abuse

It is well-known he frequented countries in Southeast Asia for years after he disappeared from the limelight. Prisoners generally do not take kindly to sex offenders, especially of children. Sadly his fame may 'entitle' him to less brutal surroundings. Pity.

Now if they'd just go after those Tory members of Parliament accused of the same thing.

I remember in Canada they used to play his song "Rock'n Roll" (the "Hey!" song) at hockey games all of the time until the 90's when he got convicted of child porn possession. They stopped playing his songs across Canada. I think they still play it sometimes in the US though..... maybe not anymore.
