Glitter was sentenced to four months in prison in 1999 after he pleaded guilty to 54 charges of making indecent photographs of children under 16. His internet use can be monitored, and he can now be kept from unsupervised contact with children. Gadd will need to meet regularly with a probation officer, get permission to travel abroad, and provide police with up-to-date details on his address. Disgraced Seventies glam rocker Gary Glitter has been released from a British prison just halfway through a 16-year sentence after being convicted of child sex abuse charges.

The BBC reports that the 78-year-old Paul Gadd will be “fitted with a GPS tag,” and the justice ministry says that police will closely monitor him. He has now been released after serving half of that time. A British judge sentenced Gadd to 16 years in prison.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, committed those crimes between 19, but he’d also been prosecuted for many sex crimes against minors in the years since then, and he’s served two and a half years in a Vietnamese jail. In 2015, a British jury found the former glam rock star Gary Glitter guilty of having sex with a girl under the age of 13, attempted rape, and four counts of indecent assault.
