Glitter maintains he did not molest girls

British rocker Gary Glitter today went before a Vietnamese court to appeal against his conviction and three-year prison sentence for molesting young girls at a seaside villa in southern Vietnam.

The 62-year-old singer – famed in the 1970s as an outrageous act decked out in bouffant wigs and sequin jump-suits – had been found guilty by a court on March 3 for committing obscene acts with girls ages 10 and 11.
