Ex-pop star was jailed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was at the height of his fame when he preyed on his vulnerable victims, who thought no one would believe their claims over that of a celebrity.
An MoJ spokesperson said: “Sex offenders like Paul Gadd are closely monitored by the police and Probation Service and face some of the strictest licence conditions, including being fitted with a GPS tag. If the offender breaches these conditions at any point, they can go back behind bars.
The court heard there was no evidence Glitter had atoned for his actions after he was found guilty of one count of attempted rape, one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault. He later lost a court of appeal challenge against his conviction. All six offences were committed in the 1970s and 80s.
Born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, in 1944, Glitter had three UK No 1s as a performer, including I’m the Leader of the Gang. His breakthrough single, Rock And Roll , reached No 2 in the UK and topped the US charts in 1972.
