Sex beast music star Gary Glitter is said to be petrified of a move to an open prison - in case another con attacks and kills him.
The paedophile, real name Paul Gadd, could have been recategorised and transferred to an open jail 12 months ago. But he is being held at His Majesty's Prison The Verne on the Isle of Portland, in Dorset, south west England. And pals claim the 78-year-old, who is on a vulnerable person wing, is worried that a “psycho” will attack him if he leaves for another jail.
As reported by our sister title The Mirror, one friend said: "He’s a coward. He doesn’t want to move because he knows that there’ll be a target on his back. He feels safe where he is because it’s a prison for sex offenders. But if he moved he honestly believes some psycho could get to him."
Glitter was sentenced to 16 years behind bars in February 2015 but could walk free in a few weeks, as he is due for release after serving half his sentence. The glam rocker was found guilty of sex attacks on three girls aged eight to 13, and is likely to be tagged when released from jail. Because his sentence was a fixed period, the Parole Board is not involved.
A prisoner's release can be blocked by parole chiefs if they're believed to still pose a risk to the public. But sources say Glitter has been a model prisoner since his incarceration and will be freed as early as February. One source said: “He’s entirely within his rights to stay where he is. He’s a notorious inmate so everyone knows what he has done.”
Glitter - whose hits include I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am) - was sentenced at Southwark crown court for “depraved and dreadful crimes” against fans. Between 1975 and 1980, he had sex with a girl under 13, tried to rape an eight-year-old,

Based on one of the most sensational and much-discussed short stories of recent times, which was heralded as the most-read story ever to appear in The New Yorker, Cat Person is a disarmingly creepy film with a disturbing edge that will surely trigger further discussion about contemporary dating and romantic protocols. Years ago, a little film like this would have found a modest but loyal following among young audiences. Now, however, its forthright presentation of the pitfalls of flashing yellow lights where male-female relations are concerned should make this a must-see and a subject of hot discussion at least among teens and young adults.
