Paedophile Gary Glitter has been freed from prison after serving just half of his 16-year sentence for sex crimes. The disgraced glam rock singer - who had a string of chart hits in the 1970s - was jailed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls.
The PA news agency understands the 79-year-old left HMP The Verne - a low security category C jail in Portland, Dorset - on Friday after eight years behind bars.
He was freed automatically half-way through a fixed-term determinate sentence. The sex offender will now be subject to licence conditions.
