HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — Authorities freed British glam rocker Gary Glitter from prison in southern Vietnam on Tuesday after nearly three years of confinement.
Glitter, 64, left Vietnam on a flight to Bangkok, Thailand. According to a Thai Airways staff member, he was to continue on to London.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in March 2006 of committing “obscene acts with children.” He served two years and nine months of a three-year sentence, which was reduced for good behavior. The incidents involved two girls, ages 10 and 11. The court verdict said Glitter had molested the girls repeatedly at his villa and in nearby hotels. The Associated Press
