Glitter – real name Paul Gadd – had recently been released from his 16-year prison sentence for abusing three schoolgirls just a month earlier.
Today he is confronted with a parole hearing to decide whether he can be released or serve the remainder of his prison sentence behind cars.
The Parole Board previously ruled that the hearing is possible take place privately to protect his victims.
Normally it takes fourteen days for a decision to be made. This means that Glitter will be able to roam the streets again in a few weeks if he gets the green light.
The decision to give Glitter a hearing has been rejected by lawyers representing one of his victims, who was just 12 years old when the singer abused her.
Richard Scorer, of Slater and Gordon, who is representing her, said: “Throughout the case Gadd has refused to co-operate and has court orders, deliberately making the process more stressful and traumatic for our customer.
“This behavior demonstrates Gadd's complete lack of remorse.
“We have informed the Parole Board of his conduct and they have confirmed that this information will be included in a report to the Parole Board panel prior to the hearing.
“I hope the board takes this matter very seriously as it is further evidence of Gadd's lack of remorse and disregard for his victims.”
Glitter preyed on his young victims during the height of his fame in the 1970s.
He was first jailed in 1999 after a sickening collection of child abuse images was found on his laptop.
Glitter hid later Cuba where he fathered a love child with a Yudenia Sosa Martinez before moving to Cambodia.
But Glitter was deported because of being a suspect child abuse in 2002 and next one settled down Vietnam.
The predator was imprisoned again in the country in 2006 for abusing two girls aged 11 and 12.
Glitter returned to Britain in 2015 after traveling between countries notorious for sex tourism.
The extent of his crimes was revealed years later when he became the first person to be arrested Operation Yewtree – the investigation started as a result of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Glitter was locked up for 16 years in 2015 for historical sexual attacks on three young girls, but was released halfway through her sentence.
