Gary Glitter Is Stuck at the Airport

1970s rock star and child molester Gary Glitter (a/k/a Paul Gadd) is currently holed up in a Thailand airport after being released from a Vietnamese prison.

Glitter, 64, was in jail for sexually abusing two underage girls to whom he claimed he was teaching English. You may need a shower after reading this post. Does Kevin Jonas know his wax figure looks like this creep?

The dirty old man was busted in Britain in 1999 for having kiddie porn on his computer, after which he moved to Asia. Somehow, Britain's Home Office issued the offender a passport while he was serving time in Vietnam.

Currently, Glitter is in a legal stand-off with Thai officials in Bangkok. Without a passport, he would have to immediately fly to Britain. But he has one, and he wants to travel to either Hong Kong or Singapore.

Thai immigration officials are currently trying to get his sleazy ass on a plane to Britain, but he won't budge.

Glitter claims he was "set up" on the Vietnamese child abuse charges, according to the Daily Mail.

The ever-present, stadium-rocking sporting-event chant "Rock N Roll Parts 1 & 2" has forever been ruined.
