Gary Glitter Charged With Eight Sex Offenses

Since being deported from Vietnam in 2012, Gary Glitter has kept a very low profile. He was deported from Vietnam after being convicted of child sex abuse charges in that country. Now, police in the UK have charged Glitter with eight crimes that date back as far as 1977 and involve two girls who were 12 and 14 at the time who Glitter abused over a three year period. For the past couple of years, police have been investigating a series of sex offenses committed by high profile celebrities which took place in the 70's and 80's involving the late Jimmy Savile and all of his friends who abused hundreds of girls and teens often with the help of their bosses who covered for them and paid off families not to report anything. Glitter is 70 years old now and is due in court in two weeks. In case you are wondering how Glitter has been making a living since being deported, you can thank people like director David O. Russell who used Rock And Roll Part 2 in the film Silver Linings Playbook. Glitter pocketed $500K because of that.
