A woman who was raped by Gary Glitter at the age of 10 cried after learning he will be released from prison after serving just half his sentence.
The 78-year-old paedophile was locked up for for 16 years in 2015 for hideous child crimes, but is poised be to be freed in the New Year after only eight years.
A victim calling herself, ‘Ms D’, was abused by Glitter repeatedly in 2005 at house in Vietnam.
She has now pledged to see the wealthy former pop star before court in a compensation claim and said: "I’m still serving a life sentence.
She said: "He is free to enjoy his money and his life now, but I live with what that man did to me every day of my life."
The former pop singer, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was sent to jail February 2015 for offences committed between 1975 and 1980.
His heinous crimes included having sex with a girl under the age of 13. He also tried to rape an eight-year-old and molested a third girl.
He received a ‘determinate sentence’ meaning that his likely release early next year – marking almost exactly eight years since he was given a 16-year sentence on February 5, 2015 – will not be independently reviewed over the risk he poses to the public.
At the time of his sentencing judge Alistair McCreath said wished the paedophile could be jailed but was restricted by sentencing guidelines for offences in the 1970s.
Glitter, was also jailed for four months in 1999 for possessing images of child abuse took Ms D to his villa in Vietnam and subjected her to a catalogue of abuse.
She gave evidence against him and a 12-year-old victim before he was given a three-year sentence before he was deported back to the UK.
Ms D, who is now 27, was reportedly shocked after hearing Glitter would soon be freed.
She still has horrendous nightmares about his abuse and feared being linked the infamous case in Vietnam where female abuse victims face stigma.
From her home in Mekong Delta, she told the Daily Mail: "I will never find anyone to love me, and I will never be able to marry because of what happened.
"No man here will accept someone with my past."
She hope Glitter will be banned from travelling again and claims there were many other victims in the country.
Mrs D believes he is a very dangerous man and will offend again.
The fallen 70s star, who still has a home in London and in the past lived in a £2 million property in Marylebone, is expected to face tagging restrictions when he is released.
Gabrielle Shaw, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood believes “ survivors live with the effects of child sex crime every day.
