Former rock star Gary Glitter will be detained in Vietnam for four months over child sex allegations, according to local news reports.
Yesterday, Glitter's newly appointed lawyer said he was seeking his client's release from detention. He also stated there was no evidence Glitter had sex with Vietnamese minors.
Le Thanh Kinh said he met with Glitter, real name Paul Francis Gadd, and the singer had agreed to retain him as legal counsel.
"What newspapers reported is just hearsay, but there have not been any medical certificates to prove there was child sex abuse and how it was conducted," he added.
