He was at the height of his fame when he preyed on his vulnerable victims, who thought no one would believe their words over those of a celebrity. He attacked two girls, aged 12 and 13, after inviting them backstage to his dressing room and isolating them from their mothers. The allegations came to light only nearly 40 years later when Glitter became the first person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree, the investigation launched by the Met in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
You invited them both to your hotel and created a situation in which her mother was taken out of your suite of rooms to another place, leaving you with this sexually inexperienced child. You kept her in your room all night. I am in no position to decide what your true motivation was in seeking this treatment, whether it was to come to terms with your past and to change your attitudes and behaviour or it was to persuade the authorities to allow you to travel abroad.
Whatever changes may have been effected in you by this treatment, they did not include any admission at all on your part of the wrong that you had done, in particular of the offences of which you now stand convicted. Glitter suffered a spectacular fall from grace in when he admitted possessing 4, child abuse images and was jailed for four months in Mark Thompson was in charge of the BBC in late when the broadcaster shelved what would have been a bombshell investigation alleging that the late Savile was a serial sex offender.
Police would not directly identify the suspect arrested Sunday, but media including the BBC and Press Association reported he was the year-old Glitter.
But he fell into disgrace after being convicted on child abuse charges in Britain and Vietnam. On Sunday, the BBC and Sky News showed footage of Glitter, who wore a hat, a dark coat and sunglasses, being taken from his home by officers and driven away. British police do not generally identify suspects under arrest by name until they are charged.
When asked about Glitter, a spokesman said only that the force arrested a man in his 60s early Sunday morning in London on suspicion of sexual offenses in connection with the Savile probe. He remains in custody in a London police station, police said. Most allege abuse by Savile, but some said they were abused by Savile and others. Glitter is the first suspect to be arrested in the scandal, which has raised questions about whether the BBC turned a blind eye to the alleged sexual crimes.
