11-Year-Old Interviewed in Glitter Case Wed Nov 30, 7:48 AM ET
VUNG TAU, Vietnam - Vietnamese police said Wednesday they have interviewed a second girl under age 13 who alleged she had sex with former British rock star Gary Glitter.

The 11-year-old girl, from the southern city of Can Tho, told investigators she had traveled with her aunt to the seaside city of Vung Tau earlier this year and met Glitter at his rented home, said Lt. Col. Nguyen Duc Trinh, deputy head of the police investigation department in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
Medical tests on the girl showed evidence of sexual intercourse, though it was unclear with whom, Trinh said.
Glitter, 61, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is being held for at least three months in Phuoc Co prison outside Vung Tau on suspicion of engaging in obscene acts with child — a charge punishable by up to 12 years in prison.
Glitter has denied all allegations and has not been formally charged in court. He has been detained since Nov. 19, when he was nabbed trying to board a flight to Bangkok from Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam's penalties for sexual contact with someone under 18 vary depending on the charge. The maximum punishment for child rape is death by firing squad, and police have said sex with a child under 13 is considered rape.
Police have questioned six females — the 11-year-old girl, a 12-year-old girl, a 17-year-old and three others ages 18-23 — who said they had sexual contact with Glitter, Trinh said.
The criminal investigation is expected to finish in about two months, he said.
"Because this crime of raping a child is extremely serious, we need to get clear evidence before we can press charges against him," Trinh said.
The 11-year-old girl's family has demanded $5,000 in compensation from Glitter, according to police and Glitter's attorney, Le Thanh Kinh.
Kinh said earlier Wednesday that he has submitted an application to post $40,000 bail to get his client out of jail. However, police have said they will not consider the application until their investigation is completed, Kinh said.
The Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper quoted deputy national police chief Cao Ngoc Oanh as saying Glitter is unlikely to be released on bail.
Glitter won fame as a flamboyant "glam rocker" in the 1970s. He is perhaps best known for the 1972 hit "Rock and Roll Part 2," still often played at sporting events.
He was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served half of a four-month jail term. He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, but Cambodian officials did not specify any crime or file charges.

Nice one Gazza. He is one sick bastard. He got kicked out of Cuba for trying to get with little girls, got kicked out of Cambodia for the same, and now Vietnam. It's time he was thrown in jail and they should throw the key in the Mekong.

Geez. If they get him on the more serious charges of child rape, they might be..."showing him to the door" via firing squad no less. |
