Gary Glitter was sentenced to 3 years for child molestation

Gary Glitter to be released from prison this month

Convicted paedophile serves just 2 years 5 months of sentence

Friday, 1 August 2008

Gary Glitter will be freed from jail in less than 3 weeks.

The disgraced rocker was jailed in March 2006 for committing obscene acts with 2 underage girls in Vietnam.

But officials at the prison where he's serving his sentence have confirmed he'll be released this month.

‘According to Vietnamese law, Glitter will be freed on August 19,’ Chu Xuan Mau tells AFP.

‘The decision on his release will be read before him that day. It will be signed by the director of the prison. We have sent his file to the provincial external relations office and relevant police offices.’

In 1999 Gary, 64 - real name Paul Gadd - was jailed in the UK for possession of child pornography. He served just 2 months.
