Netflix has unveiled a trailer for its upcoming investigative docuseries, Hunting Gary Glitter, which delves into the history of child sexual abuse by the disgraced glam rocker. The three-part documentary, directed by Sebastian Smith, follows the journalists and police investigators who played a significant role in exposing Glitter's crimes.
The series details how the musician used his fame to abuse multiple underage girls across various countries, including Vietnam, Cuba, and Cambodia. The official logline reads, "A string of dogged journalists chases fugitive pop star Gary Glitter across the globe — from Cuba to Cambodia to Vietnam — determined to expose the child sexual abuse he concealed behind decades of chart-topping fame."
The documentary covers Glitter's 1997 conviction for possession of child pornography, his escape from justice in the years following, and his eventual incarceration. Convicted in 1999 and 2006 for sexual abuse of underage girls, Glitter was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2015 after being found guilty of abusing three underage girls in the UK.
He served half of his 16-year sentence before returning to prison in 2023 for violating his probation. Hunting Gary Glitter is set to premiere on Netflix on October 14th.
