Gary Glitter: Jeremy Kyle SLAMS Parole Board Giving Paedo Second Hearing Without Serving Jail Term

A parole hearing to decide whether disgraced singer Gary Glitter should be freed from jail took place behind closed doors on Wednesday.

It came after the 79-year-old was accused of showing a “total lack of remorse” towards his victims by lawyers representing a woman he abused when she was 12 years old and who is now suing him.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed for 16 years in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls between 1975 and 1980. His sentence expires in February 2031.

He was automatically released from HMP The Verne, a low-security prison in Portland, Dorset, in February last year after serving half of his 16-year fixed-term determinate sentence.

But he was put back behind bars less than six weeks after walking free for breaching his licence conditions by allegedly viewing downloaded images of children.

Criminal solicitor Joseph Kotrie-Monson explains why Gary Glitter is having a parole hearing privately for early release from jail.

"It's wrong to say if someone is a risk, they are still let out - that is the parole board's only consideration!"
