A parole hearing for the serial child sexual abuser Gary Glitter is to be held in private to avoid identifying children who may have been victims of his sexual offences and who, therefore, have a lifelong right to anonymity.
An application to have the hearing in public was rejected on Monday by the chair of the Parole Board for England and Wales, Caroline Corby, who said not all of Glitter’s victims could be contacted to determine whether or not they supported such a move.
