Paedophile Gary Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - has lost a Parole Board bid to be freed from jail.
The decision published by the Parole Board on Wednesday continued: "After considering the circumstances of his offending, the lack of progress made while in custody and on licence, and the other evidence presented at the hearing, the panel was not satisfied that release at this point would be safe for the protection of the public.
