"If evidence of a (legal) violation is found against Mr. Paul Francis, and especially evidence of sexual child abuse, I believe that very strict legal measures will apply to him,"

Coming from a Vietnamese government official,these words should strike terror into the heart of Mr Glitter.

Wierd..

In Vietnam, the crime of sexually abusing a child can lead to the death penalty.

One of the few legacies of communism we should adopt!!

A guy named Gary Glitter was into child porn. Why am I flashing on Austin Powers when he mused "Liberace was gay? Who knew?"

Among his other songs hits were "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" and "Do You Wanna Touch."

The latter song seems quite appropriate.

". . .Gary Glitter over his alleged relationship with a Vietnamese teenager."

That must be one really hard up teenager.

[weegee]

Don't know what he was charged with in Cambodia but it appears from this chart that it would have been legal (although questionably moral) for him to be with a 16 year there:

In Vietnam, the AOC is 18.

"Bamboo Bimbo" -- Devo

Well he caught his first whiff
In the jungles of ’nam
That slant-eyed catfish
Tasted better than mom
Now every single night
She drops her big bomb
Cause he’s a bamboo bimbo
Those hook marks really show
Cause he’s a bamboo bimb0
He went for it now everyone knows
He’s a bamboo bimbo
He caught his first glance
In field and stream
That salt water taffy
Was a fisherman’s wet dream
Now every single night
He’s still gettin’ that big ream
Cause he’s a bamboo bimbo
He fell it and everyone knows
He’s a bamboo bimbo
Just a monkey with a ring in his nose
He’s a bamboo bimbo
Can’t say I never told ya so
He’s a bamboo bimbo
It go on and on and on

[kingsurfer]

They just caught him.

Vietnamese police have arrested British rocker Gary Glitter on a child molestation charge, a state-run newspaper is reporting.

The Tuoi Tre newspaper quotes immigration police at Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat airport as saying Glitter - whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd - was arrested while trying to board a plane to Bangkok in Thailand on Saturday morning.

Immigration police at the airport have declined to comment further.

The state-run newspaper says police escorted Glitter back to the southern resort town of Vung Tau where he had taken home several girls aged 15 or under.

On Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dung said police wanted to question the 61-year-old rocker about the allegations, which first surfaced in the British tabloid press.

"If we have evidence of a child sexual violation, very strict legal measures would be applied," Mr Dung said.

On Friday police launched a formal investigation against Glitter.

The age of consent in Vietnam is 16 and sex with minors is punishable by up to 12 years in jail.

Glitter was sentenced to four months in jail in Britain in 1999 after being found guilty of storing more than 4,000 images of child pornography on the hard drive of his computer.

After his release, he left Britain for Cuba and then later turned up in Phnom Penh in Cambodia.

Child rights activists hounded him out of Cambodia twice and have had his name put on an entry blacklist, although Glitter filed lawsuits last year fighting the deportation orders.

Vietnamese newspapers report Glitter has been in Vietnam for about a year.
