Gary Glitter banned from travelling

Convicted paedophile Gary Glitter has been banned from travelling to
France and Spain under an order granted by magistrates.

Kent Police were granted the order at Ashford Magistrates' Court last
Thursday.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, did not attend the hearing but
was represented by Corker Binning Solicitors.

A Court Service spokesman said: "On Thursday, September 25 at Ashford
Magistrates' Court, Kent Police applied for an application to prevent
foreign travel to France and Spain until March 25 by Mr Paul Gadd."

Kent Police said they would not discuss individual cases or the
possible whereabouts of Glitter in the county.

A Kent Police spokeswoman said: "Kent Police will do everything
necessary to protect children in this country, or abroad.

"From our point of view, it is easier to monitor someone who remains
in the UK because we have comprehensive systems in place to manage any
potential risks more effectively.

"Protecting the residents of Kent is the paramount concern of Kent
Police and we work closely to monitor the behaviour of registered sex
offenders in the county to minimise any risk to the public that may
exist."

She added: "However, we will not discuss whether or not a named person
is on the sex offenders register in Kent, or the circumstances of
individual cases. We will not discuss any details about named
registered sex offenders, which extends to confirming or denying
speculation about where they may live."

Glitter, 64, has laid low in the UK since he was ejected from south-
east Asia at the end of his Vietnamese prison term last month. He had
served two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for sex
crimes involving girls aged 10 and 11.

"Being on the register does not prevent Glitter from travelling
abroad, but under regulations he must inform police if he plans to be
away for more than three days.
Breaching the rules can mean a prison sentence of up to five years."

Glitter banned from leaving Britain

By MIKE SULLIVAN and JOHN KAY

CHILD Sex beast Gary Glitter has been banned from leaving Britain, it
was revealed today.

The 64-year-old shamed singer applied for special leave to travel to
France and Spain.

But an assessment carried out by Kent police ruled he poses a risk to
children in those countries.

Police got an order at Ashford Magistrates last Thursday banning
Glitter from the trip.

By law, he is now not allowed to make any further applications to
travel abroad for the next six months.

Obscene

In effect, it means he is under a worldwide ban until the end of next
March.

Within the last fortnight, Glitter has secretly moved to Kent from
Hampshire, where he first went after arriving back in Britain in
August from the Far East.

The paedophile served three years in Vietnam for obscene acts with two
girls and was then deported.

He staged a four-day "world tour" after refusing to board a jet home
during a stop-over in Thailand.

The pervert was tricked into leaving for Hong Kong, then sent back to
Thailand and finally to the UK.

On his arrival at Heathrow, Glitter was met by officers from the Met’s
Child Abuse investigations command and taken to Uxbridge police
station where he signed on the Sexual Offenders’ Register under his
real name of Paul Gadd.

The conditions of the register mean he has to notify police of his
current address and give seven days notice if he wants to travel
abroad.

Last week Glitter gave the required seven days notice under Foreign
Travel Order legislation stating his intention to travel to France and
Spain.

A Kent Police panel of experts considered the request but ruled that
Glitter represented too much of a danger to children to let him
travel.

A spokesman for HM Court Service confirmed said: “On Thursday at
Ashford Magistrates Court, in Kent, police applied for and were
successful in an application to prevent Foreign Travel to France and
Spain until 25 March 2009 by Mr Paul Gadd.

“Paul Gadd did not attend in person but was represented by Corker
Binning Solicitors.”

Last night sources said that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith was ‘pleased
and reassured’ that Glitter’s travel plans had been blocked.

A Home Office source added: “This move confirms that Britain has the
best laws in the world for dealing with sex offenders.”

“This move confirms that Britain has the best laws in the world for
dealing with sex offenders.”

Would it be illegal to put Mr Gadd in a hypnotic state so that he could
re-live all his erotic experiences, on demand, in real time and not
require to interfere with young persons again.

Glitter banned from foreign trip

Gary Glitter has been banned from travelling abroad

Paedophile and former pop star Gary Glitter has been banned from
travelling to Spain via France.

Because Glitter - whose real name is Paul Gadd - is on the sex
offenders register, he had to tell authorities of his travel plans
seven days in advance.

Ashford magistrates granted an order requested by Kent Police last
Thursday stopping Glitter from travelling.

The 64-year-old has the right to appeal, and the ban applies only to
those two countries.

Glitter did not attend last Thursday's hearing but was represented by
London-based Corker Binning Solicitors.

A Kent Police spokeswoman said: "Kent Police will do everything
necessary to protect children in this country, or abroad."

But she added they would not discuss individual cases or the possible
whereabouts of Glitter.

Travel ban

A Foreign Travel Order stops someone from leaving the country.

To obtain one, police have to apply to the courts and prove an
individual is at risk of reoffending.

The order can last for up to six months but the person can keep their
passport during that time.

Glitter returned to the UK in August after spending 27 months in a
Vietnamese jail for abusing two girls.

He was denied entry to Hong Kong and to Thailand after he refused to
return to Britain following his deportation.

The Chinese authorities sent him back to Bangkok.

Any offender who has a long history of sexual abuse should be
considered a risk and all children wherever they live must be
protected

Dr Zoe Hilton
NSPCC policy advisor

Thai authorities then refused to let him stay despite Glitter pleading
for medical treatment, saying he was having a heart attack.

He eventually boarded a flight to the UK, returning last month.

He has informed police of the address at which he is living, but the
location has been kept secret.

Dr Zoe Hilton, a policy adviser to child protection charity NSPCC,
said "Kent Police should be congratulated for taking swift action to
prevent Gary Glitter from travelling abroad but we must ensure he
continues to be blocked from travelling in the future."

She said the government needs to ensure measures are in place which
would stop Glitter and other sex offenders from travelling abroad.

Dr Hilton said: "Any offender who has a long history of sexual abuse
should be considered a risk and all children wherever they live must
be protected."

Glitter was previously on the sex offenders register for seven years,
after he was jailed in the UK for four months in 1999 for possessing
images of child abuse.

He became famous as a glam rock star in the 1970s.

So the police managed to provide to the magistrates the required
proof, did they?
