I believe Gadd's crimes are abhorrent and should be punished as they have been in a developing country jail which is nothing like a jail in the UK. However I do believe that too many people over react to these crimes. Aren't murder and violent rape just as bad but receive nowhere near this reaction?

Joe Bloggs, NY, USA

That's how it's done!! When someone commits a serious offence, he serves his sentence and is driven straight to the airport and deported and never allowed to return again.

Can we have some of that please here?

Leon Welliver, Whaley Bridge, UK

Rather than just condeming these people shouldn't we try to find out why they do this , its a fairly typical pattern of middle age men , what makes them go like this , no-one ever seems to ask this question for fear of condoning it , I dont believe they were just born like this , they need help

Andy, Chalfont , England

Why should he not be allowed back here, we allow 1000s of Eastern European criminals to come and live on the state and he has a British passport and in the past has paid into the ecconomy

jack, manchester,

Its ironic that the Thai human rights activists who will be waiting at the airport for this old pervert are there to prevent him from entering the country and thus protecting their children, no doubt our human rights activists will be more concerned about how Glitter is treated. says it all.

Martin, Tenerife, Spain

Although probably the highest profile sex tourist he is only the tip of the iceberg and stopping him from travelling will do nothing to prevent the trade. He clearly needs to address his sexual preferences and this is what the authorities should be concentrating on for helping him with.

Ryan, Bolton, UK

Unbelievable that the media is obsessed with this one bloke.

Sky News 8am: a five minute piece trashing Gadd. Isn't this tantamount to harrassment? It's distasteful, prurient and in the gutter reporting. Is this the most important issue facing the UK today?

John Jenkins, York,

Here we go again - allowing criminals back into our country.
This country is is tatters - its been shatterd by Blair and Brown and it just keeps getting worse.

Miacheal Miles, London, UK

I wonder if any one will attack him in hospital gosh no that could never happen, the lawyers would be bursting blood veslcles to scream his human rights had been violated. some have human rights some dont, vile disgusting creeps like glitter will always get protection. it makes me want to puke.

Mary, Stockport, Cheshire

Why does this animal get all this media attention that he will try to manipulate for his own gain? He should be electronically tagged and disappear from the public eye. This man is obviously very disturbed and a danger to society.

David, Cork, Ireland

I cant blame the other counties for not wanting him - its just a shame we have to put up with having him in this country. He should be treated like any other sex offender - instead of which there is already a media circus around him and I bet he will try and make money from it.

Cheryl Williams, Ruthin, Wales UK

It is a well known fact that most "child sex crimes" take place within the family

JP Massias, Casablanca, Maroc

I would like to see him get psychiatric treatment. This could help him and our society. Why wasn't this ordered when he was convicted here in 1997? Surely that is something within the court's power

Dave, London, England

Well said, Tom. This country is obseesed with child sex crimes even when there was no physical harm done. These peopel have to be kept in isolation in jail yet a somebody who tortures and kills a child doesn't? Why? The latter person suffers no vigilante action on release either.

Roger Tilbury, Worthing,

Everyone on the list should be taged with a GPS device so we all know where they are & can make sure they stay away from our kids. To remove a childs inocence is the worst crime a person can do.

Simon Westfield, Darwen, UK

I should hope we don't see anyone paying this disgusting creature for interviews.

Kate, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England

Tom from Ludlow makes a good point. We have extremely severe sentences, and a register for life, for sex offenders yet crimes of violence (ono-sexual ones) are treated almost trivially, by comparison. Why not have a violent offenders register as the distress caused is much the same in many cases?

JonathanL, Newcastle, UK

He's served his time, now he should be left alone.

Colin Lusk, Croydon,

Tattoo his forehead and castrate him.

John, Lincoln,

YUK!

Shirley Bowen, Blackpool, UK

These people are the worst type god ever put breath into. If the death sentance was ever brought back these people should be on the to of the list. As far as the toe rag in this artical all his royalties and any money he makes from records and books should go into trust for victims of these crimes

peter, london, uk

Instead of wasting public money protecting these individuals and trying to treat them surely it would be better to bring back executions such as hanging.

steve tea, manchester, cheshire

How come we have hysteria over sex crimes, yet crimes of physical violence - such as the mugging of older people seem to have no attached stigma, public registers and ongoing monitoring?

Tom Taylor-Duxbury, Ludlow, UK

It's time that either chemical or physical castration for people like Gadd was considered,i don't care about his human rights,we must protect our children at any cost from these sub humans.

Kenneth O'Boyle, Perth, UK

And therein lies the lunacy of this - 'the authorities are powerless to stop him approaching youngsters in this country.' Can't offend his human rights now, can we? I know what I would do with him, but I doubt if the moderator would publish it. Let's hope the press keep him in check, the law won't.

Graham, Bradford, England

Knowing where a sex offender lives and stopping them offending are two different things. The Sex Offenders Register is pretty meaningless in real terms.

Paulus, London , UK

Why avoid the media waiting for him at the prison gates?? Gee, we wouldn't want to upset him now would we! He's a child rapist, he should stay in jail period.

Taz, Portsmouth, UK

No thank you very much, we certainly don't want him in Hong Kong.
I think it's best you keep him in the U.K.

Brit expat in HK., Central, Hong Kong

Glitter mania starts all over again !

James, derby,

The act that empowers the sex offenders registry needs to be amended. There is no way they can be tracked if they leave the country. Since the act is designed to make it easier for authorities to track sex offenders, it should include a revocation of their passports.

Callum, Jakarta, Indonesia
