Glitter faces seven years in prison

Gary Glitter faces seven years in a Vietnamese military prison as he goes on trial for allegedly committing obscene acts with two girls.

The disgraced pop star could also be liable for prosecution if he ever returns to the UK, after being questioned in jail by British police over 2,311 images of children found on his computer.

His lawyer, Le Thanh Kinh, said he expects the 61-year-old, real name Paul Gadd, to be convicted over the allegations but hopes the judges will impose the minimum sentence of three years.

This would be served in a civilian jail, where he is being held at the moment.

But if the sentence is longer he would be moved to a military prison where conditions are much harsher, Mr Kinh said.

The trial begins tomorrow and will last about two days.

Gadd denies all charges.
