Per DailyMail, the hostel in which Glitter was put is within walking distance of about ten schools. A children's playground is also next to the hostel and is visible through the fence. There is also a child's swing by the fence. 

A Source Reveals Glitter's Royalty Treatment 

A source revealed that the pop pedophile had refused to try out the prison sex offender treatment programs. "If a dangerous sex offender refuses to engage, sure they're just not fit for release?" the source asked. Glitter was accompanied by three or four police officers during his release at taxpayers' expense.

Glitter Still Owns Property

Glitter is still the owner of a top-floor £2m flat in a Victorian red-brick mansion block around Baker Street, London. Since he was arrested in Vietnam in 2006, the flat has not been in his name. The flat is now controlled through a company by a former associate.

In the 1970s, the shamed pop idol was one of the UK's biggest rock stars. He had a lot of hits and even three UK No1 singles. By 1975, he already sold 18 million records but was later declared bankrupt. 

The Chronicles Of His Woes

In 1997, an engineer found child abuse images on Glitter's computer. In 1999, a total of 4,000 images were found by police and he was jailed for four months. By the following year, after serving for two months, Glitter was released. He was sent out of Cambodia in 2002 amid claims of sexual abuse.

In 2006, Glitter was convicted of sexually abusing Vietnamese girls aged 10 and 12. He was sentenced to three years in prison but returned to the UK after serving two and a half years. In 2012, he was arrested again.

The Plot Got Darker

In 2014, he was charged with eight counts of sexual offenses. The following year, Glitter was found guilty of one count of attempted rape. He was also guilty of four counts of indecent assault. Glitter was also found guilty of one count of sexual intercourse with a girl who was not up to the age of 13.

In 2015, Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was sentenced to 16 years in prison. He was released from prison after serving half of his sentence in England. The sentence was also for sexual offenses that involved three teenage girls. In 2015, the judge said that Glitter's victims were very affected by the abuse.

He Is To Follow Some Set Of Rules

Back in 2012, he was subject to license conditions. These are a set of rules which individuals must follow if released from prison. This is done if they still have a part of their sentence to serve.
