27. Gary Glitter enjoyed a decades-long career as a glam rock artist in the UK, and his legacy seemed overall cemented until he was arrested in the late ’90s on child sex image charges. He was found guilty and sentenced to only four months in prison, but his career never recovered. He moved to Cuba, then Cambodia, and afterward Vietnam, where he was convicted of sexual abuse in 2016. Glitter claimed the charges were a conspiracy and that he was innocent. He was sentenced to three years in prison but was deported to the UK after two and a half.
He had initially planned a comeback, but this never materialized. In 2015, he was sentenced to another 16 years in prison for sexual abuse from the ’70s and ’80s. He was released early in 2023, then incarcerated again a month later after violating license conditions.
