Pop star Gary Glitter was arrested in November 1997 after pornographic images of children were discovered on the hard drive of his laptop after going for repair. In 1999, Glitter was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and listed as a sex offender in the UK following conviction for downloading thousands of items of child pornography. He was also charged with having sex with an underage girl, around 20 years earlier, when she was 14 years old. She had had a relationship with Glitter for several years. In 2002 Glitter was deported from Vietnam due to suspected child abuse.
In late 2005, at age 61, Gary Glitter was arrested by Vietnamese authorities and charged with molesting two under aged girls, aged 10 and 11, at his home in Vũng Tàu. Six Vietnamese females, aged from 11 to 23, claimed that Glitter had had sex with them; the age of consent in Vietnam is 18. On 2 March 2006 Glitter was tried on charges of committing obscene acts with two girls, aged 10 and 11, facing up to 14 years in prison if convicted. The following day he was found guilty and sentenced to only three years in prison.

Yet twitter now allows him to roam freely on a social networking website we know is used by children!
We need twitter officials to remove this paedophile from our social networking website for good!
