Gary Glitter hit with travel ban
LONDON – Disgraced former pop singer Gary Glitter has been banned from travelling to France and Spain, after police applied to the courts for a prevention order.
The singer, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, has to tell authorities of his travel plans seven days in advance because he is on the sex offenders register after committing several offences in Asia.
Telegraph Online reported magistrates granted an order to stop Glitter from travelling to the two European countries. The order will last till March 2009.
The 64-year-old returned to the UK in August after spending 27 months in a Vietnam jail for abusing two young girls in 2006.
Glitter in an attempt to escape repatriation after his release, flew 2,660 miles from Vietnam to Bangkok, then to Hong Kong, then back to Bangkok. Each country denied him entry.
At least 19 countries have refused to admit him, finally giving him little choice but to return to Britain where he was made to sign the sex offenders’ register.
Glitter was previously on the Sex Offenders’ Register for seven years, after he was jailed in the UK for four months in 1999 for possessing images of child abuse. He was discovered after a computer repair shop found the indecent images on his laptop.
He served two months of a four-month sentence then left the country and moved to Spain and Cuba before travelling to south-east Asia.
He was expelled from Cambodia after facing allegations of sex crimes and moved to the Vietnamese coastal resort of Vung Tau, before being jailed for molesting the two girls.
