A Vietnamese court jailed British "glam rocker" Gary Glitter to three years in prison on Friday for molesting two young girls. Judge Hoang Thanh Tung described in graphic detail the offences by the 1970s pop icon in the southern resort town of Vung Tau, drawing gasps from Vietnamese in the courtroom.
He said the 61-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, ejaculated on the belly of one of the underage girls and had another urinate into his mouth.
"The court pronounces the defendant, Paul Francis Gadd, also known as Gary Glitter, guilty of engaging in lewd acts with children," the judge said.
Defence lawyer Le Thanh Kinh said Glitter would be eligible for parole one year from when he was first detained, in November 2005, as is customary in Vietnam.
Glitter had 15 days to appeal but had not yet decided whether to do so. "That comes from him, not from me," Kinh told reporters.
