sayjann Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 'He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, though Cambodian officials did not specify his crime or file charges' i wonder why the Cambodians will not reveal any details about why he was deported. have they no evidence of any wrongdoing? or just could'nt be bothered to take him to court?. or did they just throw him out because of the publicity about him and the bad things which might have been said about their Country if they allowed him to stay?. normally if someone is banned from a Country it is for a reason,but in this case nothing forthcoming. sounds very fishy. i may be wrong but if i was thrown out of Australia,the USA,France there would be a specific reason. why not in his case?. once again i will say i am not defending the Fella,but so far i see nothing wrong in his actions.

Bad publicity for Cambodia would be my guess. They get enough already. Somebody decided to just kick the bugger out. Maybe he got to choose between jail or deportation. Same thing will likely happen to him in Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidflux Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4451992.stm Gary Glitter arrested in Vietnam Former glam rock star Gary Glitter has been arrested in Vietnam where police want to question him about alleged child sex offences. The 61-year-old was detained at Ho Chi Minh airport as he tried to board a plane to Bangkok. An immigration official recognised his name from a newspaper article, state-controlled media reported. A newspaper reported that police were investigating Glitter over allegations of "obscene acts with a child". Police said Glitter was allegedly involved with two girls under the age of 18, but declined to elaborate. Glitter was held on Saturday and taken back to the Ba-Ria Vung Tau province where he had been living. Reports suggest the singer, real name Paul Francis Gadd, fled his rented home there a week ago. The seventies rock star, best known for hit single Rock and Roll (Part 2), has been living in Vung Tau since March 2005. Jail penalty Ministry spokesman Le Dung said authorities had interviewed a 15-year-old girl whom they found in Glitter's home, and a police manhunt for the rock star had reportedly been extended to the Vietnamese city Ho Chi Minh City. "If evidence of a (legal) violation is found against Mr. Paul Francis, and especially evidence of sexual child abuse, I believe that very strict legal measures will apply to him," said Mr Le Dung. Under Vietnamese law, the charge of obscene acts with a minor carries a penalty of one to five years in jail. Earlier this week, the Foreign Ministry said officials had confirmed that Glitter had applied for permanent resident status in Vietnam. Glitter was expelled from Cambodia in 2002, although no specific reason was given for his deportation. He was convicted in the UK in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served two months in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous_Dog Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 most interesting part of this is that in UK a girl can pose topless at age 16 with parent concent, 1 year older than the girl he was with. Not saying either right or wrong, DPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Brooke Shields' mother had her pose nude when she was something like 11 or 12. Talk about a Hollywood mama! Glitter's problem is that he has one strike against him. That conviction makes everyone presume the worst. If he just bought gum from one of those street kids at Nana, folks would think he was trying to pick them up. Hell, when I was a young fella first in Thailand, there were a couple of brothels in Bangkok that openly advertised 12 and 13 year old whores. I wanted nothing to do with it, but a friend used to go. He told me the Chinese-Thai owners got the gals out of orphanages. They fed the gals well, bought them nice clothes and gave them spending money ... so the gals seemed happy enough. He said the gals were hard core pros, would do anything you want -- anal, dps, golden showers. I think it was Chuan who went after those kiddie brothels and finally got them closed permanently.
