If GUEST,Max wasn't trying to be ironic, it's even more ironic.

This stuff happens in third world countries - always has/always will. It happens anywhere poverty exists. You can punish people you catch taking advantage, but as long as people are desparate for money, they're going to be selling whatever people will buy.

I associate Glitter with THAT song. The one that someone combined with the Dr Who theme so they're now stuck together in my head. If he did anything else (besides get arrested), I don't know about it. How many guys go to places like Cambodia for a 'sex holiday'? Glitter's just a famous one who got caught. And no, I don't have an answer. It's just that where there's one former rock star with a recognizable name, there are probably hundereds of family members and guys-you-work-with who get away with this sort of thing on a regular basis.
