I’m Gary Glitter’s love child… I hope one day I will finally meet my dad | The Sun
GARY Glitter's love child hopes to finally meet his dad now that he has been released from prison.
The disgraced star, 78, was caged for 16 years for sexually abusing young girls but walked free this month after serving just half his sentence.
He was reportedly in regular contact with his son Gary Pantoja Sosa during his time at HMP The Verne in Portland, Dorset.
And the 21-year-old wants to connect face-to-face and possibly even settle in the same country now that he's out.
Gary Jr, who lives in Gran Canaria, Spain, and wants to be a singer "just like" his father, told MailOnline: "I have never met my father in person, because that has never been possible, but we speak on the phone all the time.
"I hope we will get to meet each other finally. My dream is that we will live in the same country.

"I don't know how we will make that happen, but we have talked about it, and it's possible I will live with my father.
"I know it is dangerous for him in Britain, as there is so much hatred towards him, so we will need to keep a low profile and stay somewhere out of the way."
Paedophile Glitter, real name Paul Francis Gadd, was jailed in 2015 for sexually abusing three schoolgirls.
He was freed automatically half-way through a fixed-term determinate sentence.

The sex offender – who had a string of chart hits in the 1970s – will now be monitored and subject to licence conditions.
He must tell police seven days in advance of any foreign travel, and officers can veto any trip if they fear a risk of further offences taking place.
Glitter, who is holed up in a secret bail hostel, will also have to wear a tag and tell cops if he enters into a relationship with someone who has a child under 18.
The I Didn't Know I Loved You singer was at the height of his fame when he preyed on his vulnerable victims who thought no-one would believe their claims over that of a celebrity.
He attacked two girls, aged 12 and 13, after inviting them backstage to his dressing room, and isolating them from their mothers.
His third victim was less than 10 years old when he crept into her bed and tried to rape her in 1975.
The allegations only came to light nearly 40 years later when Glitter became the first person to be arrested under Operation Yewtree – the investigation launched by the Metropolitan Police in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Sentencing the singer, Judge Alistair McCreath said all the victims were "profoundly affected" by the abuse.
He said it was "difficult to overstate the gravity of this dreadful behaviour" when referring to the assault on one victim, telling Glitter he was able to attack another "only" because of his fame.
The court heard there was no evidence Glitter had atoned for his actions after he was found guilty of one count of attempted rape, one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and four counts of indecent assault.
He later lost a Court of Appeal challenge against his conviction.
Glitter's fall from grace occurred years earlier after he admitted possessing 4,000 child pornography images and was jailed for four months in 1999.

He fathered Gary Jr with Yudenia Sosa Martinez while hiding in Cuba in 2001 before moving to Cambodia.
A year later, he was expelled from the country amid reports of sex crime allegations, and in March 2006 he was convicted of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10 and 11, in Vietnam and spent two-and-a-half years in jail.
