Gary Glitter arrested in Vietnam
Former glam rock star Gary Glitter has been arrested in Vietnam where police want to question him about alleged child sex offences.
The 61-year-old was detained at Ho Chi Minh airport as he tried to board a plane to Bangkok.
An immigration official recognised his name from a newspaper article, state-controlled media reported.
A newspaper reported that police were investigating Glitter over allegations of "obscene acts with a child".
Police said Glitter was allegedly involved with two girls under the age of 18, but declined to elaborate.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4451992.stm
Good luck Mr. Glitter. You're going to need it.
My brother in law who is a native vietnamese citizen spent 5 years in in a Saigon prison and was only released last year because he was deathly ill and they didn't want to care for him there. To this day he has never been charged with anything.
It's a dangerous game there as male tourists are not allowed to have any female foreign nationals in their hotel rooms or any other dwellings. When i have visited Vietnam i have witnessed police forces raiding hotels on a nightly basis looking for young girls and foreign men...
Vietnamese prisons are unbelieveably bad. Somewhere u definitely don't want to end up....
