The Parole Board decided disgraced paedophile pop star Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, should not be freed from jail.

In a decision published on Wednesday, the body said: “After considering the circumstances of his offending, the lack of progress made while in custody and on licence, and the other evidence presented at the hearing, the panel was not satisfied that release at this point would be safe for the protection of the public.

“Rather, the panel considered that Mr Gadd was appropriately located in custody where outstanding levels of risk could be addressed.”
