China refuses to let Gary Glitter into Hong Kong

BRITISH glam rocker Gary Glitter, who served nearly three years in a Vietnamese prison for molesting children, was denied entry to Hong Kong after refusing to return to England, officials said yesterday.

Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, flew to Hong Kong last night after staying in the transit area of Bangkok’s international airport for several hours.

“The Chinese authorities have informed us that they have refused Paul Gadd entry into Hong Kong,” a spokeswoman for Britain’s Foreign Office said.
