Glitter loses child molestation conviction appeal

A court in Vietnam today upheld the conviction and three-year prison sentence of British former rocker Gary Glitter for molesting young girls at a seaside villa.

The court “rejects the appeal of the accused and sentences him to three years in prison for obscene acts with children”, said Truong Vinh Thuy, one of three judges hearing Glitter’s appeal in Ho Chi Minh City.
