Vietnam holds Glitter in child sex abuse inquiry

The ageing rock star Gary Glitter was in Vietnamese custody last night, being investigated on child sex abuse charges.


Gary Glitter: in custody
Paul Gadd - the singer's real name - was held at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, as he tried to board a flight for Bangkok.

A manhunt had been launched for the once bouffant-haired glam rocker, now 61, after he was reported to be living in a seafront villa in the resort of Vung Tau, with a 15-year-old alleged to be his girlfriend.

The age of consent in Vietnam is 16. Sex with a minor is punishable by up to 12 years in prison. Raping a minor can be punished by death.

Gadd is being investigated for having sex with a 12-year-old, according to Vietnamese state media.

The wheels of Vietnamese justice grind slowly, and suspects can be held in custody during the entire police investigation but not be charged formally until the file is sent to the prosecutors.

Gadd was sentenced to four months' imprisonment in Britain in 1999 for possession of around 4,000 images of child pornography.

This news item is not directly related, but I thought some might still find it interesting as it relates to the SE Asia and I know there are some Brits here.


This brings up some questions related to BKK though. What are the age laws there? How young do the "working girls" get, GG I mean? Have people gotten in trouble?

he has gotten in arrested for the same thing in Camboada.

[BAM]

It's 18 in Thailand and yes people have gotten in trouble. It's obvious that Gary Glitter is one fucked up dude! I'm sure he's been doing the same thing in Thailand but just never got caught.


Just look at the dude and you know he's insane in the membrane.

I know there is no answer to my wondering question but I just can not comprehand that how one (anyone) can do this to a child - for a moment forget about the local laws but just the fact that a Child is used and abused for the sickness of mind.
I am sorry guys but I had to take it off from my chest.

No, he hasn't. He was asked to leave (deported) without specific reasons made public.

Until he has been found guilty of a crime I disapprove of then he's welcome to break bread with me. This media witch hunt seems to have some merit this time around, though.

Let's wait and see before we pronounce the guilty verdict, eh?

The age of consent in Thailand is 15, however if you pay for sex the minimum age is 18 although strictly speaking paying for sex is illegal!

Confusing isn't it!

The law in Thailand

It's 18 in Thailand and...

No it isn't. See above post!

Define a child, please.

When I was 15 I shagged a 13 year old. Am I sick in the head? I'm 45 now and my girlfriend just turned 20. Is a sexually active minor a child?

Age of consent (AOC) in Spain is 13!
AOC in Austria = 14
Canada - guess what? 14!
Mexico - 12

Yawn...

There is no legal age of consent in Cambodia, but some do-gooder christian cunts will probably use the publicity to get a rape & assault conviction. It's been done before.

***Am I the only one who sees a difference between two kids having sex (13 and 15) and a 50+ yo (like Glitter) and a 15 yo?

BTW he pleaded guilty in England to child pornography charges. Is he still welcome to break bread?

"Punishable by death" the best words of the whole article. He is 61 and she was 12! And for Cambodia to kick anyone out, especially someone with money has to show how sick this guy is.

I said 18 since most everyone on here is looking for Pay 4 Play.  

And yes in Canada consensual sex the age is 14. Most people here don't know this because we watch too much American TV and get the idea from the US that it's 18.  However like Thailand sex with a hooker is 18.

About 15 years ago I picked up this girl outside a strip club one night... she was looking for a ride into a not so nice part of town... but I was passing that area so I gave her a lift "home". She then tells me that her Dad works in the club I was just at and that she's 14 years old. .... Then she says to me "do you want me to suck your cock?" I was just shocked! I said to her do you do this for money??? She said "No I just like doing it and the taste of cum" hehehehhe!!!! I drove to a secluded area behind a building and she sucked away and drank every drop! Damn I thought I was going to go to jail that night but later found out it was perfectly legal here.... I had nothing to worry about except her dad... so I didn't go back to that club for about a year...shit I should have fucked her ass too the little tart!

No your not I too see a major difference. Anyone who has sex with a minor deserves to be castrated not chemically but physically

The age of consent in Holland is 13 with parents approval. In the Dominican Republic most peasant girls are defiled by Uncles or fathers before puberty. When did this last break the news?

Most westerners are ignorant of the laws that actually exist in there own sphere.

Actually in the 17th century Italy i think it was JP Reubens the artist that took a 10 year old child bride. quite normal then.....It was Witches that were burnt at the stake in them days...

Well, since there are 2 or 3 Phuket ladyboys working in bars that we know for sure are under 18, what should we do with anyone who has sex with them? Not to mention how many are under 18 that we do not know about. I'd guess 10% there at least have yet to reach age 18.
