Glitter in hiding after return
Related Articles
23 January 2008
Shamed former glam rock star Glitter, 64, has three days to give police his permanent address, but officers are thought to be aware of his current whereabouts.
Neither Glitter nor his solicitor would say where the sex offender planned to live now he had reluctantly returned to Britain.
He arrived home on Friday after a four-day tour of Asia in an apparent bid to avoid returning to Britain following his release from a Vietnamese prison.
When he was freed after serving two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for sex crimes involving girls aged 10 and 11, Glitter flew to Bangkok where he was due to board a flight to London.
Saying he felt ill, Glitter refused, but Thai authorities would not allow him through passport control and he eventually flew to Hong Kong.
Chinese authorities also refused him entry and he flew back to Bangkok where Thai police and immigration officials insisted he return to Britain.
He arrived at Heathrow's Terminal 3 on Friday and stayed there while his solicitor David Corker went to Uxbridge Magistrates Court, west London, as Scotland Yard successfully applied for an order requiring him to register as a sex offender.
The order will last indefinitely but he has 21 days in which to appeal.
Being on the register does not prevent Glitter from travelling abroad but if he plans to be away for more than three days, he must inform police.
