Gary Glitter: Guest of the State of Vietnam for the Next Three Years
A court in Vietnam has upheld child molestation charges and a three-year jail sentence for former British rock star Gary Glitter, who had proclaimed his innocence and lodged an appeal.
Let’s see: Glitter’s had similar troubles in the UK, Cuba, and Cambodia. My guess: he’s certainly guilty, and the Vietnamese government is using him as an example and trying to scare away other would-be sex tourists as the nation increasingly opens up to Western visitors.
