Gary Glitter back in prison after just 38 days amid 'Dark Web' allegations

Disgraced paedophile Gary Glitter has been thrown back into prison today after just 38 days of freedom. The former glam rockstar was escorted back to prison from his sheltered bail hostel after an investigation into the use of his smartphone and the Dark Web.

It comes after allegations this weekend that the 78-year-old was using a smartphone and was recorded saying he wants to find "the Onion". The term is used for the Dark Web, regularly used by paedophiles as it is hard to monitor or trace users.

Justice chiefs made the decision that the use of the phone breached conditions imposed when he was freed last month, reports The Mirror.
