The paedophile glam rock singer, who had a string of chart hits in the 1970s, left HMP The Verne on Friday.
He is now being kept on bail at a hostel close to a children's playground on an estate. Numerous schools are also nearby.Hampshire Police said: “Officers attended the scene and the situation was resolved.Glitter reportedly failed to engage fully with treatment programmes for sex offenders while in prison and was considered to still be a risk to children.Glitter is escorted by police officers to prison in 2015.
The offences for which he was jailed in 2015 took place in the mid-1970s, with Glitter luring girls aged 12 and 13 to his dressing room and away from their mothers.A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: “Sex offenders like Paul Gadd are closely monitored by the police and Probation Service and face some of the strictest licence conditions, including being fitted with a GPS tag.
