US EditionDisgraced singer Gary Glitter to stay in jail as parole bid refused
- The Parole Board refused to release 81-year-old Paul Gadd, known as Gary Glitter, following a paper review in January 2024.
- This decision followed Glitter’s recall to custody less than six weeks after his automatic release in February 2023 for breaching licence conditions.
- The Parole Board based its ruling on thorough examination of evidence, including original crimes from 1975–1980, behaviour change, and victim impact.
- Glitter was jailed in 2015 for 16 years for sexually abusing three schoolgirls and was made bankrupt earlier in April after failing to pay over £500,000 in damages to a victim.
- Richard Scorer, representing a victim, supported the decision while expressing concern about repeated parole reviews, noting it would be better if Glitter served his full sentence until it expires in February 2031.
