Moral panic indeed. Also helps keep news like the bombing of women and children off the front pages.

I think you can be charged by the uk courts for commiting a crime like this while abroad, only if you have not been dealt with by that countries authorities, I can not see how he can serve two custodial sentences for one crime. He has done his time, that should be it.

Wonder where he will try to go. Is he still paparazzi material? What will happen next?

Double Jeopardy ?

wanghunghigh

As previously mentioned, under English law committing such offences while abroad is punishable by an English Court. Almost certainly not the case if a jail sentence has been completed already -- double punishment for the same offence would certainly be shot down by any half-decent lawyer. Human rights, innit?

I'll lay bets that the next stage of the Gary Glitter "Get Yourself Locked Up" World Tour will be hosted in Brazil (or somewhere else in South America), where there are lots of poor little children for him to abuse. Once a pedo, always a pedo. With any luck, they'll serve up some proper justice there.

I'm sure he is, just wait and see if he releases a Christmas single this year.

What World Vision has to say about UK double jeopardy:

Other related issues, which World Vision would encourage the Home Office to consider as it looks at
what can be done to improve efforts to protect children overseas are:
4.1 The application of the principle of double jeopardy only where the offender was
acquitted or fully served the sentence of the court. Currently UK law upholds the principle
of double jeopardy. This says that a person cannot be tried twice for the same offence, so if an
offender has been prosecuted where the offence was committed, he usually cannot be tried again in
his home country for that offence. With the problems of corruption and lack of capacity in law
enforcement and legal agencies in some known destinations for child sex tourists, World Vision
believes revisiting the principle of double jeopardy is necessary.

So GG is on that note, but wouldn't necessarily be if they had their way.
