Disgraced paedophile rock star Gary Glitter will be out of prison 'within days'
Pop paedophile Gary Glitter will be released from prison 'within days' after serving just half of his sentence.
The 78-year-old sex offender was jailed for 16 years for attempted rape, unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault in 2015.
Disgraced Glitter - whose real name is Paul Gadd - could be a free man as soon as next week.
He is set for release from HMP The Verne, but will not be able to up sticks and disappear and live abroad.
The case will not go before the Parole Board because he was sentenced to a determinate term, which is a fixed period that cannot be reviewed.

Officers can say no if they don't agree with any of his planned breaks.
He will be required to wear a tag and must inform police if he begins a relationship with someone who has a child under the age of 18.
The Ministry of Justice told The Sun that freed sex offenders are closely monitored by the police and the Probation Service.

Shamed Glitter found fame in the 1970s as part of the glam rock scene, scoring number one hits with I’m The Leader Of The Gang (I Am), I Love You Love Me Love and Always Yours.
He suffered a spectacular fall from grace in when he admitted possessing child pornography images, and was sentenced to four months in jail.
His image crumbled when he was jailed for four months in 1999.
In 2002, he was expelled from Cambodia over unspecified allegations and, in March 2006, he was convicted of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10 and 11, in Vietnam.

The offences in question were branded ‘depraved and dreadful crimes’ against his fans and spanned from 1975 to 1980.
A woman who was raped by Glitter at the age of 10 cried after learning he will be released from prison after serving just half his sentence.
A victim calling herself, ‘Ms D’, was abused by Glitter repeatedly in 2005 at house in Vietnam.
She has now pledged to see the wealthy former pop star before court in a compensation claim and said: "I’m still serving a life sentence. He is free to enjoy his money and his life now, but I live with what that man did to me every day of my life."
