New ITV documentary Glitter: The Popstar Paedophile has revealed some sickening truths about how the Rock ‘n’ Roll singer kissed young children by a pool in Cuba – and subsequently “disappeared” with them.
The glam rock singer, now 79, is currently in jail where he belongs. However for decades he used his celebrity status to abuse young children, often in plain sight.
The British public now know the former personality only as one of Britain’s most notorious paedophiles.
Glitter: The Popstar Paedophile on ITV
New ITV documentary Glitter: The Popstar Paedophile explores the dark double life of performer and predatory abuser Gary Glitter. The feature-length show documents his crimes against children, which were committed both in the UK and internationally. Most importantly, perhaps, it investigates the failures to bring him to justice.
The true-crime documentary includes historical victim testimony, archive footage and interviews with those who met him. The lawyers involved in both the prosecution and defence of Gary Glitter during various different trials also appear.
The programme looks into how Gary Glitter used his “charismatic onstage persona” to cover up his predatory offstage behaviour. This meant that he was only brought to justice decades after finding fame as a singer.
Four years after one of his victims spoke out in 1993 to the News of the World, Glitter was arrested for possessing child pornography
