Being in prison was obviously not punishment enough for what he did ....Police 'investigate Gary Glitter'
Glitter was released from jail in the UK in 2000
Vietnamese police have reportedly launched a criminal investigation into British rock star Gary Glitter.
The state-controlled Tuoi Tre newspaper said local police are investigating Glitter, 61, over allegations of "obscene acts with a child".
Police said Glitter was allegedly involved with two girls under the age of 18, but declined to elaborate.
Glitter was convicted in the UK in 1999 of possessing child pornography and served two months in jail.
Reports suggest the singer, real name Paul Francis Gadd, fled his rented home in the Vietnamese coastal resort of Vung Tau a week ago.
The seventies rock star, best known for hit single Rock and Roll (Part 2), has been living in Vung Tau since March 2005.
Jail penalty
Ministry spokesman Le Dung said authorities had interviewed a 15-year-old girl whom they found in Glitter's home, and a police manhunt for the rock star has reportedly been extended to the Vietnamese city Ho Chi Minh City.
"If evidence of a (legal) violation is found against Mr. Paul Francis, and especially evidence of sexual child abuse, I believe that very strict legal measures will apply to him," said Mr Le Dung.
Under Vietnamese law, the charge of obscene acts with a minor carries a penalty of one to five years in jail.
Earlier this week, the Foreign Ministry said officials had confirmed that Glitter had applied for permanent resident status in Vietnam.
Glitter was expelled from Cambodia in 2002, although no specific reason was given for his deportation.
