Gary Glitter’s son says he ‘dreams’ of living with his father now that he has been released from jail.
The disgraced singer was imprisoned as part of a 16-year sentence - of which he only served half - after being found guilty of a series of child sex offences on three young girls aged between eight and 13.
Gary - real name Paul Francis Gadd - was convicted of six offences which took place in the 1970s and 1980s - including the attempted rape of a child who was just eight years old, and having unlawful sex with a girl of just 12 years old - a charge which carries a life sentence.
However, at the time of sentencing, the convicted paedophile received a standard determinate or fixed-term sentence for his 2015 imprisonment - which meant that he was automatically released on licence after he served half of his sentence.
