He has served half his sentence for sexual abuse of three schoolgirls
Disgraced pop star Gary Glitter has been freed from prison after serving half of his 16-year sentence for sex crimes.
The PA news agency understands the 79-year-old left HMP The Verne – a low security category C jail in Portland, Dorset – on Friday after eight years behind bars. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was at the height of his fame when he preyed on his vulnerable victims who thought no-one would believe their claims over that of a celebrity.
The allegations only came to light nearly 40 years later when Glitter became the first person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree – the investigation launched by the Metropolitan Police in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
