Glitter appeals against court order

Gary Glitter has launched an appeal against the court order that requires him to notify police if he intends to leave the country.

The convicted paedophile, real name Paul Gadd, was given the order after serving three years in a Vietnamese jail for sex crimes against two girls.

The current order does not prevent him from travelling abroad but requires that he inform police if he intends to stay away for more than three days.

In September, the singer was stopped by Kent police as he tried to leave the country.

He was previously placed on the sex offenders' register after being jailed in 1999 for possessing images of child abuse.
