Gary Glitter, a person who has been found guilty of sexual offenses, has been denied parole and will continue to stay in prison.
The individual known as Glitter, whose birth name is Paul Gadd, received a prison sentence of 16 years in 2015 after being found guilty of sexually assaulting three young girls during the years spanning from 1975 to 1980.
Last year in February, the 79-year-old was let go without manual intervention. However, six weeks later, he was incarcerated again as a result of violating his license conditions.
A group of experts stated that Gadd still demonstrated a deficiency in understanding and concern for the feelings and experiences of the victims involved.
According to the Parole Board panel's decision summary, it was discovered that Mr. Gadd had a sexual attraction to girls under the age of consent during the time of his crime and while on probation.
The blog post mentioned that Gadd did not participate in any programs while in jail to acknowledge and address his criminal behavior. Additionally, he still claims that he is not sexually attracted to minors.
On Wednesday, the Parole Board released a statement stating that they have decided against releasing the offender. The decision was based on various factors, including an assessment of the offender's criminal behavior, the lack of improvement during their time in custody and on parole, and other information presented during the hearing. Ultimately, the board did not believe that the offender's release would guarantee public safety.
Instead, the committee concluded that Mr. Gadd was in an appropriate detention facility where any remaining levels of danger could be dealt with.
Last month's hearing was held confidentially, following the denial of a plea to have the proceedings conducted in the open.
Attorney Richard Scorer, who speaks on behalf of an individual who was victimized by Gadd, informed the Press Association news agency that this was the correct verdict. In our judgement, the parole board had no other alternative but to arrive at this conclusion.
All the information we have about Gadd/Glitter suggests that he still poses a danger to kids and has never expressed any regret.
Gadd was imprisoned for the first time during the end of the 1990s due to his ownership of numerous pornographic pictures depicting child abuse.
Following his initial release, he relocated to another country. However, he was forced to leave Cambodia in 2002 due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
He was found guilty of mistreating two young girls, aged 10 and 11, in Vietnam and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison back in March of 2006.
Gadd's wrongdoings, dating back to the 70s, were exposed following the launch of Operation Yewtree, which came about after the Jimmy Savile scandal.
The inquiry prompted investigations into past sexual offenses made by additional famous people, such as ex-performer Rolf Harris and well-known representative Max Clifford.
At the peak of his popularity, Gadd achieved three UK chart-toppers, including the hit song "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I am!)."
