  His fall from grace happened years earlier after he admitted possessing around 4,000 child pornography images and was jailed for four months in 1999.
  In 2002, he was expelled from Cambodia amid reports of sex crime allegations, and in March 2006 he was convicted of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10 and 11, in Vietnam and spent two-and-a-half years in prison.
  
  Served only 8 years in the UK despite being an unrepentant predator. I can’t image how awful his victims feel about this.
context: Confused Americans might actually know his music more than younger brits who just know his name since his song is apparently played at a lot of sporting events >
  
  I don’t think I’ve ever been to an American sporting event that did not play this song at least once. >
  
  It’s less common than it was 15-20 years ago. A lot of schools realized that the song was from a pedo, and stopped playing it. I watch NHL hockey on the regular and haven’t heard it in forever . But yeah that shit used to be everywhere >
  
  Yeah, I heard it constantly when I was a kid, but it's significantly less common now. I had no idea who Gary glitter was until this post and definitely didn't know the singer of that song was a pedo. Then again, I probably should have assumed since it seems like every big musician or band  from that time period had at least 1 member who is a pedo.
