Gary Glitter arrested in Vietnam

Former glam rock star Gary Glitter has been arrested in Vietnam where police want to question him about alleged child sex offences.
The 61-year-old was detained at Ho Chi Minh airport as he tried to board a plane to Bangkok.

An immigration official recognised his name from a newspaper article, state-controlled media reported.

A newspaper reported that police were investigating Glitter over allegations of "obscene acts with a child".

Police said Glitter was allegedly involved with two girls under the age of 18, but declined to elaborate.

Glitter was held on Saturday and taken back to the Ba-Ria Vung Tau province where he had been living.

Reports suggest the singer, real name Paul Francis Gadd, fled his rented home there a week ago.

The seventies rock star, best known for hit single Rock and Roll (Part 2), has been living in Vung Tau since March 2005.

Jail penalty

Ministry spokesman Le Dung said authorities had interviewed a 15-year-old girl whom they found in Glitter's home, and a police manhunt for the rock star had reportedly been extended to the Vietnamese city Ho Chi Minh City.

"If evidence of a (legal) violation is found against Mr. Paul Francis, and especially evidence of sexual child abuse, I believe that very strict legal measures will apply to him," said Mr Le Dung.

Under Vietnamese law, the charge of obscene acts with a minor carries a penalty of one to five years in jail.

Earlier this week, the Foreign Ministry said officials had confirmed that Glitter had applied for permanent resident status in Vietnam.

Glitter was expelled from Cambodia in 2002, although no specific reason was given for his deportation.

He was convicted in the UK in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served two months in jail.

I thought the best bit was being deported from Cambodia!

I mean, how BAD do you have to be to get deported from places like that!!

Goes against the old saying that you are as old as the woman you feel. Unless he is sneaking down to the local care home of an evening.

lol .. what's the legal age to have sex with a lad then? you might be safe but by my reckoning your 16y/o girl having sex with you age 15 isn't ...

seems to me GG needs to sort out his thinking .. if he likes younger people* why on earth did he move somewhere the legal age is 2 years older than the uk? talk about out of the frying pan .. lmao.

Can't imagine a vietnamese prison is much fun either .. he really needs to learn to keep it in your trousers mate!!

* not condoning the behaviour, just seemed a bit ironic he should choose to move somewhere more severe. and what possesses any young lady to go with a 61 y/o very-much ex-pop former-star anyway?

I'm surprised he hasn't been to the Falkland Islands - age of consent is 14 ......................if you don't mind sheep.

Fair chunk of Western Europe is 14yo isn't it? Italy and Austria I'm pretty sure about, I imagine most middle eastern countries as well, but you probably have to be married there though. God imagine being married to a 12yo, no wonder they are so angry all the time

i think if you sleep with a 15 year old girl and your also 15 then theres nothing wrong with that, but a dirty old man taking advantage like that is just plain wrong and he deserves to be punished for it.

What about an old man who isn't dirty? Or a dirty young 15 year old boy?

Oh and since when does sleeping with a 15 year old make you a paedophile?
