GARY GLITTER TO STAY IN JAIL
Police in Vietnam said on Tuesday that despite reported efforts by former British pop star Gary Glitter's lawyer to get him out on bail, there is no guarantee he will be released any time soon.
Sixty-one-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, is being held at Phuoc Co prison outside Vung Tau for at least three months under suspicion he committed obscene acts with a child.
Tuesday's Liberated Saigon newspaper reported that Glitter's lawyer, Le Thanh Kinh, had submitted an application to post 40,000 US dollars bail to get the former pop star out of detention.
Kinh could not be reached for comment and police and prosecutors refused to confirm the report.
The British Consul General also visited Glitter on Tuesday at the Phuoc Co prison.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Duc Trinh, deputy head of the police investigation department in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, said even if Glitter was willing to post bail, it does not mean an automatic release.
He said that in Vietnam, you can't just apply and pay for bail be automatically released. A lot of other procedures are required.
Among other things, police and prosecutors would have to make a determination that Glitter is not a flight risk, and that his release would not affect the continuing criminal investigation.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was nabbed on Nov. 19. At Ho Chi Minh city's international airport as he tried to board a flight to Bangkok amid allegations that he had sex with minors, including a 12-year-old girl.
On Tuesday, he met with British consular officials for a third time at the prison.
Glitter, his face partly covered by a black baseball cap, made no comment as he was led to the 15-minute meeting. Consular officials declined to discuss details of the talks.
Sexual contact with someone under age 16 carries varying penalties in Vietnam, depending on the charge. The maximum punishment for child rape is death by firing squad, and police have said sex with a child under 13 is considered rape.
Glitter, who won fame as a flamboyant "glam rocker" in the 1970s, is perhaps best known for "Rock and Roll (Part 2)," which is still frequently played at sporting events.
He was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served half of a four-month jail term. He later went to Cambodia and was permanently expelled in 2002, but Cambodian officials did not specify any crime or file charges.
