If those 54 counts of child pornography looked bad in 1999, it’s nothing compared to the trouble Gary Glitter is in now.
Dude was just arrested in Vietnam – ‘Nam, man! – for having sex with two underage girls, one of whom was 12 years old. He’s looking at up to 12 years in prison, and possibly the death penalty.
Glitter is 61 years old. And he’s having sex with 12- and 15-year-old girls. Hey, we’re grateful and all for “Rock & Roll Part II” and “Do You Wanna Touch” (which now seems even creepier than when he was busted simply for having pictures of 12-year-old girls) but, come on, man, 12-year-old girls?
On the plus side, it may create a rock and roll first: an artist sentenced to death, which is actually pretty punk rock when you think about it. Any tosser can OD, but to have a country line up a firing squad to take your ass out? You must be a badass. Or a pedophile, one of the two.
