PAEDOPHILE pop star Gary Glitter has been recalled to prison following a breach of his licence conditions less than six weeks after being released.

A Probation Service spokesperson said: "Protecting the public is our number one priority. In 2002, he was expelled from Cambodia amid reports of sex crime allegations, and in March 2006 he was convicted of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10 and 11, in Vietnam and spent two-and-a-half years in jail. The sex offender was at the height of his fame when he preyed on his victims, who thought no-one would believe their claims because of his celebrity status. The MoJ had said on his release that he would face "some of the strictest licence conditions" and that if he flouted them at any point he could go back behind bars. He was automatically released from HMP The Verne - a low-security category C jail in Portland, Dorset - following eight years behind bars, having served half of his 16-year fixed-term determinate sentence.

I hope that he will serve the whole of the rest of his sentence behind bars, where he belongs. That said, I am very concerned as to why it took an undercover investigation by a newspaper to expose breaches of license conditions. Upon his release in March 2023, it was reported that Gadd would be “closely monitored” by police and probation officers via GPS. In a statement, the ministry said, “Protecting the public is our number one priority.
