Paedophile pop star Gary Glitter returns to prison for breaching release terms

Gary Glitter, the disgraced pop star and convicted paedophile, has been thrown back behind bars for violating the terms of his release. The 79-year-old was released from prison in February after serving eight years of a 16-year sentence for sexually abusing three young girls, but it seems he couldn't keep his nose clean for long.

Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, had been living under strict licence conditions, including being monitored by police and fitted with a GPS tag. But it seems he couldn't resist the urge to break the rules, and has now been recalled to prison for his transgressions.

A spokesperson for the Probation Service said, "Protecting the public is our number one priority. That's why we set tough licence conditions, and when offenders breach them, we don't hesitate to return them to custody."

Glitter's recall to prison is likely to be welcomed by many who have long campaigned for justice for his victims. The former glam rock star was once a household name, with a string of chart hits in the 1970s, but his career was derailed by his sickening crimes against children.

Now, he will be forced to pay the price for his actions once again. The question is, how long will he be kept behind bars this time, and will justice ever truly be served for his victims? One thing's for sure – this won't be the last we hear of Gary Glitter.
