Just a note on this- the usual "reliable sources" don't tend to report about
Gary Glitter these days- it's just the low-end tabloids that are avid to get
sightings, pictures, and arguably hound him; obviously they have an axe to
grind and are unlikely to take a neutral stance. That is why such articles
(and I have [[Jade Goody]] and [[Katie Price (Jordan)]] and similar on my
watchlist) should be watched with vigilance to ensure scrupulous compliance
with [[WP:BLP]]. The coverage of OJ & Spector hit much more responsible
media sources.
