Gary Glitter Faces Firing Squad in Vietnam

Disgraced
Seventies rock star Gary Glitter could face death by firing squad after
he was accused of having sex with a girl aged just 12, police said.

Sexual intercourse with a 12-year old regardless of whether there is consent
is still considered rape under Vietnamese law, with a maximum penalty of
death before a firing squad, according to the police.

The revelations come after two girls, aged 12 and 18 years old, told the
police they had sex with the former singer – real name Paul Francis Gadd
– at his rented home in the southern resort of Vung Tau in Vietnam.

The 61-year-old former singer was arrested on Saturday at Tan Son Nhat
International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City as he tried to flee the country.
He left his rented home in Vung Tau a week ago amid allegations about his
relationships with two teenage girls.

His 1999 conviction on 54 counts of possessing
child pornography may weigh against him. Don’t forget to wipe your hard drives,
boys and girls, before you take your computers in for repairs – although this scumbag probably deserves whatever he gets…..
