Paedophile Gary Glitter has been recalled to prison following an alleged breach of his licence conditions.The 78 year old, who had a string of chart hits in the 1970s, had been freed in February after being jailed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls.
He left HMP The Verne – a low security category C jail in Portland, Dorset – following eight years behind bars, having served half of his 16-year sentence.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was subject to licence conditions on his release, including being closely monitored by the police and Probation Service and fitted with a GPS tag.
A Probation Service spokesperson said: "Protecting the public is our number one priority.That's why we set tough licence conditions and when offenders breach them, we don't hesitate to return them to custody." The disgraced musician is understood to have been discovered attempting to access the Dark Web on his phone whilst staying at a bail hostel in Waterlooville, Hampshire.
