Pervert Glitter to return to Britain after 5 years.. and throw a party to celebrate
Exclusive By Stephen Martin
DEPRAVED Gary Glitter will fly home to Britain from the perverts' sanctuary of Cambodia in the next few weeks.
With typical arrogance, the paedophile is even planning a PARTY to celebrate his return.
Shameless former glam rocker Glitter, 60, has been in exile for five years since his conviction for downloading child porn.
Now he says he has "served his time" and is coming back because he's "homesick".
A cloak and dagger operation is under way among a handful of Glitter's few remaining pals to ease his return. Among those he has contacted is former beauty queen Lesley Campbell, who has known him for 20 years.
Blonde Lesley, who met Glitter when she was in 70s dance troupe Hot Gossip, told a friend: "He's fed up with living over there. He thinks he's done his time living on the run. He's British and he wants to come home. He's nearly a pensioner now and wants to live the rest of his life back here."
Scouser Lesley, 42, who now lives near Aberdeen, added: "He wants to meet up for a get-together. He knows what people think of him now and he knows it will upset a lot of people, but he's going to take his chances back in Britain."
The thought of Glitter home on British soil will cause widespread revulsion, but as a UK citizen he cannot be stopped. It is unlikely he will dare return to his £1.6million penthouse flat off Baker Street in central London. Instead, he is expected to a look for a secluded country property where he can hide.
Former junkie Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - was jailed for four months in November 1999 after police discovered 4,000 sickening child-sex pictures on his computer.
He was caught after images of youngsters being raped and tortured were spotted on his computer when he put it in for repair at PC World in Bristol, near his then home in the West Country.
He was placed on the sex offenders register after admitting 54 offences of downloading child porn between January and November 1997.
Glitter was released early from jail after just eight weeks and staged a revolting stunt to celebrate his freedom in London's Regents Park.
Wearing his trademark black wig and dark glasses, he strutted about for the cameras and proclaimed: "I have served my time. I want to put it all behind me and live my life."
Amid mounting public outrage at his behaviour, he fled to Cuba. In August 2000 he came back to London but had to return to Cuba after a crowd of demonstrators marched on his house.
Back in Havana, he fathered a baby boy with his lover Yudenia Martinez, a Cuban farmgirl. Cuban president Fidel Castro ordered him to be kicked out as undesirable and Glitter pitched up in Cambodia. He set up home in the capital Phnom Penh - a haven for paedophiles where £3 buys sex with girls as young as 11.
He was later locked up accused of abusing young boys, but was not charged with any offences. He now lives in a five-bedroom mansion in Phnom Penh.
