FORMER HMP ISLE OF WIGHT INMATE GARY GLITTER RELEASED FROM PRISON TODAY

Gary Glitter - Toppop 1973 3
Disgraced pop star Gary Glitter at the height of his fame in 1973

Paul Gadd – who achieved fame under the stage name Gary Glitter – has been released from prison on the mainland after serving just half of his 16-year sentence for sex crimes against children.

The 79-year-old serial sex offender has fortunately not been released here on the Isle of  Wight. Gadd left HMP The Verne – a low-security category C jail in Portland, Dorset – this morning (Friday) after 8 years behind bars.

The disgraced former pop star has been freed automatically as he had served half of his fixed-term sentence. He will now be subject to strict licence conditions.

Article continues below this advertisement

The prolific paedophile – who was formerly jailed at HMP Isle of Wight as exposed by Island Echo’s editor – was jailed in 2015 for interfering with 3 schoolgirls. He was the 1st person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree, an investigation launched by the Metropolitan Police, following the Jimmy Savile scandal.

Glitter had molested 2 girls – aged 12 and 13 – whom he had invited backstage to his dressing room. He had also attempted to rape a girl under 10 years old. He was convicted of 1 charge of attempted rape, 1 charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and 4 charges of indecent assault.

Before his most recent conviction, Gadd had been imprisoned for various serious offences against children. In 1999, he admitted possession of 4,000 child pornography images and was jailed for 4 months. In 2002, he was expelled from Cambodia following allegations of serious sex crimes. In 2006, he was convicted of abusing 2 girls – aged 10 and 11 – in Vietnam and spent 2-and-a-half years in prison.

Whilst no doubt a disgusting being, much publicity is on this vile individual, yet how much was given when the gangs, not a gang, but gangs in Rochester and Rotherham of Asian men, picked PURELY on white British young girls?

These gangs forced these girls to have abortions & raped them again and again.

YET, the news hardly mentioned it, we never knew when they were released but IMAGINE if it had been white groups of Brits picking just on black girls, the BBC & media would never drop the story & new laws would be made making race rape a special crime.

Yet the British do nothing. The spirit of the nation broken by biased media coverage to keep the lid on just how bad unchecked immigration really is

You missed the 5!!!! Documentary on those gangs then? From the abused girls side! The lack of adequate social care which made their abuse easy, the police not wanting to listen to the girls”they are in care lot”quote from one of the fired coppers….. Would you want this pervert living next dorr to you? Or your family? He may be old but he will reoffend he has got away with it since he was in his20’s because he was a “white Rick star nobody believed the girls who came forward just like Saville.. Monsters hiding in plain sight!.

Fedup, seems like you to could be one of those who have had their minds biased.

Why is it, whenever these vile, unneeded, imports commit a hideous crime, fools always try to push the blame away from them, onto the victims or the Police?

Even if ‘social care’ was totally non existent, normal males do not gang rape vulnerable young girls.

So it is THEM, not the Police, not the girls, nor the ‘social care’ which is wrong.

Bad enough when our own race do this, but these unchecked imports are given a safe decent land to live, get all we get, and STILL abuse our children.

SEE the issue not what the BBC wish you to believe.

The ruination of our land, not for a while but forever.

erm no it isn’t the loop – have you actually bothered to do some research into abuse by men in africa, the abuse that indian children suffer, the abuse by men in the middle east etc – not one of these are white men – typical lefty anti white bias you seem to have.

the only reason that you see more white people in the news here, is because the UK is 86% white and that white girls are taught to speak up nowadays and educated much earlier, whereas in other countries it still is justified in many ways, by the perpetrators

just google it and you will see that the internet is awash with stories from victims in other countries.

Chubby Dodds: And there is a very current example of what you’ve mentioned in your comment…
Tim Westwood…targeted black women…sexual abuse & rape of black girls & women, many of them children at the time.
No new laws have been ruled about the abuse of black children/women though…despite your reckonings! ‍♀️

Never liked him from the start, always looked creepy to me and still does. Noted he left prison well suited and booted so he still must have strong finances. Can’t believe anyone would want to be associated with him – but as we all know there will always be those that are attracted to these sick minded people. Wonder what twit will be the first to interview him on TV?

Will he be allowed to change his identity paid for by the UK. Much like Maxine Carr who had plastic surgery and has been moved 10 times in 18 years to keep her identity secret. On release she was first housed in Newbury, Berkshire until the residents realised who she was hence her being moved on costing the British taxpayer millions of pounds over the years.
