and he didn't put it all behind him either ...

[fingerprint]

At least 19 countries, including Cuba, Cambodia, and the Philippines, Thailand announced that they would refuse entry to Glitter for Pedophilia. He was arrested and jailed in Vietnam for raping girls under 12. He's in jail right now 2023 - again.

I can’t believe we lost David Bowie and Marc Bolan while they were so young yet this guy is still kicking

[austinisme]

And he just got sent back AGAIN after being heard discussing how to access the dark web for CP IMMEDIATELY after being released from prison

[benclasper]

Why do we have people who end up like this in the world?

[Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

That’s probably least sincere apology I’ve ever heard. I think he was trying to come across as the victim. And I think the reason he took such long pauses in between speech is because he was trying to think of something to say. He didn’t feel any remorse but he still had to make up something to say. He’s a narcissist.

[youthfulcurmudgeon]

What a load of bullocks this "apology" turned out to be.

[tonychuter]

And 23 years later hes still at it...hes not sorry hes sorry he got caught

[johnwright]

He was a menace to children and should never have been allowed out of prison.

[theenglishalpinist]

Can't condone his crimes, but if I was his PR person I'd say don't bother trying to apologise it's not gonna be accepted no matter how well you do it.

[sorrybutimnot]

He's like a real life Pennywise the Clown with that ridiculous wig

[jadepixie]

And he was released last week. A sad world we live in. 😒😟😒

[dirtyunclehubert]

What a delightful talented actor he was and is!
you just KNOW that after marching away and getting back to his car, he murmurred something like "thank god that nonce-nse is over, can you book me a flight to cambodia RIGHT NOW, yes?"

[TheCleaner]

and as of April 7th 2022 he's still in a UK jail

[leeroyjenkins]

he's back in prison as of March 2023 because he was never sorry

[carlyg]

Gary is utterly gross
I mean if you were truly sorry, why did you do it again
Rott in jail, your disgusting
Those lady’s have to live with this, put it behind you as if

[Thailand-mtop]

Victims can’t put it behind them can they Gary

[declanhenderson]

" I deeply regret doing what I was sent to prison for" he wasn't even man enough to say the words and and he can't have regretted it that much if he got himself sent back to jail three more times. All he regretted was getting caught. All for publicity, trying to be Mr Big again

[Powers]

Pdfiles can never changed. He high tailed it out of Britain only to be found in Asia years later where he had continued his child buggery.

[Graham-nyps]

The things he did know one will forgive ..you protect children not abuse . Sad is music will live on
