Pedophile Gary Glitter is ‘sent back to prison’ just a month after his release from prison.

Pedophile Gary Glitter is reportedly “sent back to prison” just a month after his release.

The disgraced rock star, 78, is said to have been caught “trying to access the dark web on his phone”.

He was spotted on camera at a bail hostel in Waterlooville, Hampshire, on a mobile phone “asking how to avoid detection while surfing the web” while saying he was trying to find “the onion”.

“The Onion” is a term for the notorious online realm of the dark web, used by pedophiles due to the difficulty of monitoring or tracking users.

Glitter hid under a tan blanket when he was wheeled out of the bail shelter in an unmarked police car on Monday night.

Glitter was released after serving half a 16-year sentence handed down in 2015 for sexually abusing girls under the age of 13 during his glam rock heyday in the 1970s and 80s.

He had previously been sentenced to four months in prison in 1999 for a heinous cache of 4,000 child abuse images found on his computer. Glitter went abroad and was jailed again in 2006 for sexually abusing two girls in Vietnam.

Last night, former Attorney General Robert Buckland called KC for “acting swiftly” after the freed pedophile was filmed apparently discussing the sinister “dark web”.

Leading Tory MP Buckland, who was also Lord Chancellor, told the Daily Mail: “I would have thought there would be licensing terms prohibiting this type of activity and I hope the Justice Department takes action quickly to deal with that. “

Former Home Secretary Priti Patel said if Glitter violated the conditions imposed when he was released last month he should be sent straight back to prison.

“It’s very shocking and sickening,” she added.

The Justice Department said: “Sex offenders are closely monitored by the police and probation services and are subject to some of the strictest licensing conditions, including restrictions on internet use. If an offender violates these conditions, they can be recalled to prison.”

But human rights laws protect internet use even by prolific pedophiles like Glitter. Appeals Court judges ruled more than a decade ago that it was generally wrong to impose blanket bans.

This means it’s difficult to monitor Glitter’s activities. He was freed from Dorset prison and held at the hostel in southern England, which is set in leafy grounds behind security gates.
