Gary Glitter Denied Parole, Remains in Prison

The Parole Board cites lack of progress and ongoing risk to the public as key reasons for their decision.

Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, has lost his parole bid and will remain in prison.
The Parole Board cited a lack of progress while in custody and on licence, and a continued risk to the public as reasons for their decision.
Glitter was jailed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls between 1975 and 1980, with his sentence set to expire in February 2031.
He was automatically released in February last year after serving half his sentence but was recalled to jail for breaching licence conditions.
Lawyers representing one of Glitter's victims expressed relief at the decision, emphasizing his lack of remorse and ongoing risk to children.
