Glitter may get early prison release--Hannah Mikels
British rocker Gary Glitter, convicted of molesting two Vietnamese girls, may be released early from his three year prison sentence, a prison official said, according to boston.com.
The release is part of a Lunar New Year's celebration in Vietnam where inmates become eligible to recieve reduced prison terms. His release may happen as early as May.
According to msnbc.com, a panel of three judges will decide on Feb. 7 if this will become a reality or if Glitter will serve his entire sentence which will end in November 2008.
Glitter was arrested in November 2005 and later convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children." The children were two young girls, aged 10 and 11.
Glitter was mainly popular in the 1970s, but his hit "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" is still played at sporting events.
