Glitter May Face Firing Squad

DISGRACED 1970s rock star Gary Glitter could face death by firing squad if convicted of having sex with a girl aged just 12, police in Vietnam have said.

Sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old regardless of whether there is consent is considered rape under Vietnamese law, with a maximum penalty of death before a firing squad.

The revelations come after two girls, aged 12 and 18 years, told the police they had sex with the former singer - real name Paul Francis Gadd - at his rented home in the southern resort of Vung Tau in Vietnam.

There were conflicting reports that the second girl had not yet turned 18.

Under Vietnamese law, sexual contact with a minor carries varying degrees of penalties, depending on the charge.

Obscene acts with a child can lead to up to 12 years in prison while child rape carries the maximum penalty of death before a firing squad.

The 61-year-old former singer was arrested on Saturday at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City as he tried to flee the country.

He left his rented home in Vung Tau a week ago amid allegations about his relationships with two teenage girls.

Glitter has been taken back to Vung Tau for further investigation by the police.

He has not been charged with any crime but remains in custody at a jail outside the coastal city, police said.

Vung Tau police said today they were continuing to investigate the case and will be questioning him further.

The case has been highly publicised in the state-controlled media, which had reported Glitter was seen in Vung Tau with several teenage girls, whom he invited to his home, since moving to the area in March.

Twat! He obviously has a bit missing in his brain that says this is wrong so why go to a country to sleep with underage girls that has the death penalty? Maybe that part of his brain is missing as well!

have his **** head off. when my younger sister was walking to school she was being stared at by a naked old man in his window, she was terrified she had to go to court and be on video link, the whole lot. the guy did have a mental problem but if he didnt it would be the end of him for sure. its one of the worst things except murder. he deserves to die imo

Vietnam has a big problem with Child sex tourism, so I hope they take the opportunity to make an example of him. I was dissapointed when Camboida chose to deport him rather than prosecute as it sent out the wrong message. These kids in South East Asia have a hard enough time as it is without beng sold or kidnapped into sex slavery.

Shooting is to good for him, they should burn the b@stard.
