Shamed Gary Glitter in Hampshire village

SHAMED paedophile Gary Glitter has been spotted in a leafy Hampshire seaside village, the Daily Echo can reveal.
The former glam rock star was photographed outside a luxury car showroom, in Warsash and at a local Sainsbury's supermarket.
He has been hiding at a friend's secret secluded £2m detached house since he returned to Britain, it was reported today.
The 64-year-old was spotted venturing out on a shopping trip with a friend wearing a ginger wig, straw hat and jeans.
Peter Nash Specialist Cars manager Mark Nash confirmed Glitter had been seen admiring a £25,995 Mercedes ML four-wheel-drive.
"Yes, it was us and it must have been in the last couple of days," he said.
"We have not seen him or dealt with him, but he is obviously around the area. From the pictures in the newspaper I wouldn't have recognised him anyway."
Glitter was this month freed early from jail in Vietnam after serving three years for committing obscene acts with two girls. He was earlier jailed in Britain in 1999 for possessing 4,000 pornographic pictures of children.
He arrived back in the UK from Thailand following his deportation from the Far East last week.
Before he was jailed in Britain, Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was living on a yacht in Gosport.
He moored his 40ft vessel Voyageur at Haslar Marina for a few months in 1997. But marina owners insisted he would not be allowed back.
Glitter lived in Rogate, Petersfield at the height of his fame.
When he returned to Britain he was ordered by magistrates to sign on the sex offenders' register and give details of his name, address, date of birth and National Insurance number.
A Hampshire Police spokesman would not confirm or deny whether Glitter had done so.
"It is our policy not to discuss any details of named individuals who are registered sex offenders," he said.

1. a hole in the ground, protected opening in bushes, etc., into which an animal can flee when pursued or frightened.
2. a place or avenue of escape or refuge

I'm not condoning or defending anything he did, but there have been so many other unrepentant murderers and rapists who have smirked their way into and out of their short jail terms round here who never had a fraction of the hatred directed at them. People posting here would happily form a lynch mob and tear Glitter to pieces, but just as a comparison we have plenty of examples round here of thugs who have beaten and kicked completely innocent people to death - and these killers are out on bail and showing no remorse - in fact there are some walking round in Waterside right now - and nothing like this was ever or is ever said. I'm not defending Gary Glitter but I do question the scary excessive hatred shown by some posters here.
Although violence is gross and unacceptable, fiddling with children still seems worse to me. Maybe it's because we are parents and it stirs up a lot more emotion to imagine Gadd with your children.

Hes an old man now, just leave him alone and let him get on with the rest of his life. No wonder he didnt want to come back to England when its full of people like you lot.

Come off it, Tina, you know as well as I do that people love to spout forth their moral rants about paedos whenever the opportunity arises. It hardly amounts to following Gadd about (see what I did there?) and hounding him, nor is it stopping him from having some "Gadd" time to reflect. It's just some banter on a website, don't tart it up to be a lynch mob!

Instead of following around like a pack of water rats why not allow him the peace and time to reflect. People do change. Not one person has ever provided any evidence of actual harm that he has done. I don't agree with the crime but you lot treat him as if he is a mass-murderer. Leave him alone - you all loved him once. Tina

What time are you living in he should be dead, dont the mass murderers deserve to de dead then, are you going to say that someone who helps perform euthanasia needs to be killed? There are alot of people looking out there too. I dont have kids no but i have alot of young family to look after. Everyone deserves another chance isnt that what people go to prison for to do there time and reflect on things? well hes had alot of time to reflect he may have changed.

No doubt some of you would have cheerfully hung or torn to pieces Stefan Kiszko when he was convicted of the sexual assualt and murder of an 11 year old girl in 1975? When he was cleared (and the actual killer convicted) after spending 16 years in prison he could at least walk free. What would you lot have done if you'd had your way? Gone to his grave and said "sorry about that"?

The semen samples taken from the victim contained sperm, but Kiszko was undergoing medical treatment that meant he didn't produce any sperm. His defence never bothered bringing this - and some other key evidence - up at trial. An utter travesty. But Glitter isn't in this category is he?

I'm not saying Glitter is in the same category as Kiszko or even that Glitter is innocent, just that lots of people suffer wrongful convictions on what seems strong evidence and I just wonder what the "hang 'em" brigades reaction is to this fact. By all means have long jail sentences but death is pretty final!
