You may remember a song called "Rock 'N Roll, Part 2" an instrumental that was not only a hit on radio but also got played all the time at sporting events. But when it was discovered that the artist behind that tune, Gary Glitter, was a disgusting pedophile, he was eventually put in jail.
Now after serving just half of his 16-year sentence, the disgraced predator has been released. He's 79 years old and has shown no remorse for his horrific crimes.
"He attacked two girls, aged 12 and 13, after inviting them backstage to his dressing room, and isolating them from their mothers. His third victim was less than 10 years old when he crept into her bed and tried to rape her in 1975.
The allegations only came to light nearly 40 years later when Glitter became the first person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree - the investigation launched by the Metropolitan Police in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal."

Well, that didn't take long. Disgraced rock star Gary Glitter violated the terms of his early release and is back in jail - likely for the rest of his life. He'd been out for just over a month.
