Gary Glitter
Gary Glitter (born Paul Francis Gadd, May 8, 1944 in Banbury, Oxfordshire) is a rock & pop singer who came to prominence in the glam rock era of the early 1970s. His reputation was greatly tarnished and his popularity quickly declined following a child pornography conviction, although he continued to record and release new work until his arrest and conviction on child abuse charges in 2006.

He had one of the longest chart runs of any solo singer during the 1970s. His success as a live performer lasted well beyond the 1970s, and the chant from his hit "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" is a perennially popular stadium anthem at sports events, particularly in the United States. Glitter's 1973 number 1 "I'm The Leader Of The Gang (I Am!)" also remains one of the better-known songs of its era. He continued to record in the 1980s and 1990s, with his 1984 song "Another Rock And Roll Christmas" being one of the top 30 Christmas hits of all-time. In the UK alone Glitter scored more than 20 hit singles in the UK Top 75, and released more than twenty albums.
In 1999, Glitter was convicted of child pornography offences classifying him as a sex offender under UK law. He went to live in Vũng Tàu in Vietnam in March 2005 and applied for permanent resident status. Glitter then served three years in prison in Vietnam, convicted (in a highly controversial case) of sexually abusing two girls of 10 and 11 years of age, after being arrested on November 19, 2005.
In February 2015, he was jailed for 16 years for pedophilia in the 1970s.

I 100% agree its the best part of the movie but- The reason he was dancing down the stairs is because he was happy about his plan to shoot himself on live television.

I would trust Joker with a child more than I would with Gary Glitter.

@A TC It was Trump who threw Epstein out of his hotel for being sleazy with his female employees and it was Trump who invited those females who were sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton and Hillary abused in the media calling them liars, brought them to one of his rallies. Really is that the act of what your assuming? Maybe look into the crimes of Obama Clinton and Epstein and get back to me when you find Trump guilty of what they did and got away with. Oh I don't believe good old Jeffrey killed himself in jail...….do you?
