A little background on a real slime ball.... Pedophile, pervert and child rapist....

He's going to be REAL popular in prison.... He's going to get all the sex he can stand.....

Three years in a Vietnamese prison no less...

Glitter’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Part 1, played at nearly every professional football game in the world. Probably one of the most played songs ever.

Sheesh, he threw it all away.

What a cryin shame.

[Screamname]

Yeah but only for 8 months. Freggin` 8 months for raping not one but TWO, and this is a guy who has a history of collecting thousands of pics of kids getting raped. What the hell is 8 months? Since when did Vietnam go liberal?

[jazusamo]

I don't think this guy just got that way, he was always a pedophile. Hard to imagine how many kids he's screwed up for life. He should never walk the streets again.

[Zeroisanumber]

Three years in a Vietnamese prison is going to be like 30 in a Western prison. It'll be a toss up as to whether on any given day it's the inmates who are kicking the crap out of him or the guards.

Look at this, I just check out his bio....

"Deported from Cambodia "in the best interest of the children", according to Cambodian authorities. This in response to his 1999 criminal conviction for possession of child pornography."

What the hell!! Why was he let back in?? And still he will be up for parole in 8 months! Too bad this wasn`t Singapore, he`d be drawn and quartered by now.

[river rat]

His errors will be "driven home" for the next many months...

One can hope he leaves prison with a satiated sexual appetite....

There is some degree of justice in the world...

I don't remember this guy. Any pics out there?

[Triggerhippie]

flitting from one South-East Asian bolthole to another

Wow! I had to read that one twice...

[Screamname]

It isn`t 3 years, look what his lawyer says;

"With time served, Glitter will eligible for parole in eight months, and could be deported back to this country before the end of the year, his lawyer said."

Freggin` 8 months parole is what you get for writing bad checks or something, not child rape!

[river rat]

Trust me.....

8 months in a Vietnamese prison, where EVERYONE knows why he is there......will in all likelihood be a "lifetime"...

Hope you get my drift....

If the bastard doesn't have enough money to buy off the Warden, guards, prisoners and local politicians -- he will not survive the 8 months of being everyone's favorite sex toy...or bullying target..

I guess that cute little pony-tail and goatee, will be used as a handle by his many new found boyfriends....

One for use from each direction... How considerate of him...

Does anyone know what the term "bolthole" means to the Brits?

He should have been put away for decades, not a few months.

I think Part 2 is the football anthem.

Hollywood director Roman Polanski is a fugitive living in Europe. He was found guilty of sex with an underage girl and fled the U.S. in 1977. He still makes films and won an Oscar which I believe was delivered to him by one of his Hollywood buddies. He is a Hollywood hero.

I guess you can be a pedophile with everyone's blessing if you are in the entertainment field.

[Screamname]

Yeah, you`re right.. You ever see that website Ogrish.com? Last year they had photos of what happened to this pedophile in a prison in Brazil (I think it was Brazil)...If you haven`t seen it, let`s just say the guy was literally torn to pieces with his thing the first to go and his head last. If you stand it look it up, they might still have it up. They show everything, the guys body is literally in pieces and the jail cell is just flooded with blood.
