Thread Name: BS: Gary Glitter
Subject: RE: BS: Gary Glitter
He was convicted of possession of illegal pornography, a nonce offence. AFAIK he was not convicted of any actual offenses against individual children; he would have served a much longer sentence if he ghad been. He served the sentence handed out by the court. Anything else should wait until the evidence is produced at the trial. There is no death penalty for anything in truly civilised societies.

Having said that, he seems to have gone out of his way to make it easy for people to jump to conclusions, following the established and well documented paedo trail to SE Asia.

He's also not the brightest button on the card: his conviction in the UK happened because he went into a computer shop, saying "Mend my computer, but don't look at anything on the hard drive..."

I suspect he will end up in prison for a very long time.
