Glitter faces dying behind bars as he gets 16 years’ jail

Former glam rock star Gary Glitter faces dying behind bars after being jailed for 16 years for sexually abusing three schoolgirls.

The 70-year-old, real name Paul Gadd, was told there was no evidence he had atoned for his actions as he was sentenced for one count of attempted rape, one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault.

Glitter showed no reaction after he was sentenced at London’s Southwark Crown Court.
