after serving 8 of his 16 year sentence - do you think he could resurrect his music career? I still enjoy his records and would probably go to a gig if he did one locally. Or do you think he should be permanently outcast?

He crept into the bedroom of a child under ten and tried to rape her. Resurrect his music career? He wouldn't have the balls.....and wouldn't have them if I had my way.
What he did to children never leaves them.
Are you serious?

He might start with “I’m back (did you miss me while I was away?)”
But there’s more chance of Liz Truss coming back as the pope.
This on the day we also learn that Russians have been selling kidnapped Ukrainian children for porn videos.
Well what a surprise that is.
Glitter is actually lucky he was sentenced under the law as it pertained at the time of the offences.
Permanently outcast. His victims still suffering from traumatisation so why shouldn't he continue suffer.

A gig would be a travesty, with lots of young girls present. He has always preyed on such folk, and it is only regular police/official overseeing which will prevent him taking up where he left off.
Oh outcast, definitely.
I doubt there is any venue in this country that would even entertain the thought of allowing him to perform. And who would guarantee his safety?
Who on earth would want ‘to see’ by choice a convicted paedophile ?
Just like Jimmy Saville, I cannot look at this thing without feeling sick.
He should never have been let out of jail and I hope he spends the rest of his life in misery.

So you don't believe someone who has served their time should be allowed to return to normal life?
He's 79, even if he wasn't a sex offender I doubt he'd be worth watching on stage. He wasn't all that in the 70s
Warning for all children: not all dangerous dogs have 4 legs :(
I think a lot of us found his music entertaining back in the day. As for going to see him in a gig, NO WAY. If I heard one of his songs now, I'd feel repulsed. I never want to see or hear him again, as I suspect the majority of people would feel the same.
Lankeela, do you think the children he abused were able to return to a normal life?
Normal life? His normal life, Lankeela? No I don't.

I agree with Anne and Barsel. I couldn't go to see him and I wish him a life of misery.
Have you any idea what being sexually abused as a child does to you, Lankeela?
Lanky, how many times do we have to say, "Gary's served his time, let him live a normal life." Just look at his history of his offending.

“ So you don't believe someone who has served their time should be allowed to return to normal life?”

He should be allowed to live in peace. Bearing in mind he is lucky to have had only to serve 8 years.
But restart his career as a rock star?
Vile creatures like Glitter shouldn't be "forgiven" just because some of their other behaviour (i.e. his music career) raised admiration and praise.

To cite another example, as an animal lover Lankeela, do you think the guy feeding a squirrel in this link should now have his current image banished and become widely admired ?

I'd doubt he'd resurrect much in this country. I'd have thought he'd want to be be reclusive.
...be more... !!!
If he's got any sense then he should become a reclusive O-G.
It depends what people mean by a “normal life”
In the first place I believe he’s been released on licence so is presumably, rightly, subject to restrictions that would practically rule out any attempt to do gigs again. I can’t believe he’d want to anyway.
If I had any Glitter records I’d probably still listen to them if I wanted as not listening to them wouldn’t really punish anyone but me
