==Second arrest and future== Glitter was arrested yet again in 2014 for child sexual abuse, but was bailed and placed back into jail. He was kept there even longer when in 2015, he was found guilty of attempting rape on a minor. This resulted in a 16-year sentence which is still in effect to this day. Glitter has said before that he, when released, wants to make another album. He told The Daily Telegraph in 2008: <blockquote>{{Quote|I have an incomplete album that I want to finish. I have been thinking about the plan during my days in jail. I have sung rock 'n' roll for 40 years. After jail, I will continue to rock 'n' roll.|Gary planning to finish his album|}}</blockquote> Glitter's release will likely be around 2031 or 2032, but a release date has not yet been specified as of 2016. On January 28th, 2015<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11374121/Gary-Glitter-sobs-in-court-as-he-describes-losing-his-dignity-over-child-porn-images.html</ref>, an article was uploaded onto Telegraph.co.uk, claiming that he tried to issue a public apology regarding his past crimes. <blockquote>{{Quote|I was in a very bad place in my life at that time and I had a lot of very serious decisions to make about my future. By the time I had taken my computer to PC World, I then had other allegations come in so the lawyers' fees and the lawyers' bills were tremendous. And I also missed my girlfriend who lived in Cuba. I couldn't get her out of Cuba. I still can't get her out of Cuba. I was drinking heavily, I was doing drugs, and the other thing of course is that I had to find this money to pay for the legal costs and studio, and I was asked by my management to seriously do the one thing which was absolutely terrible - which was to sell my songs to Universal Pictures, and I regret it. I was just in a bad place. I went to prison, I came out. I was remorseful and I am remorseful. I am so sorry. It changed my life forever. I lost my honor, I lost my family. It has to stop, all this internet pornography of children. It has to stop, no doubt about, no doubt about. I was abused as a child so maybe I was trying to work my own feelings out. Today it would not happen, I have no interest in looking at that awful porn now. Absolutely no interest at all, it has destroyed my life, it has destroyed my family's life and it has most likely destroyed all those poor victims' lives - I have total empathy for those poor children.|Gary admitting his actions|}}</blockquote> Gary has also claimed that during his arrest, he was "in a bad place," and claims to have gone through sexual abuse as a child. He even confessed that he had no sexual interest in children. It is undefined whether or not any of this is the truth.
