Any faint hope of a comeback was dashed in the mid-2000s after he was convicted of sexually abusing minors in Vietnam. As such, Glitter is now considered a pariah throughout the UK. Further offenses came to light in 2012 during the Creator/JimmySavile scandal, and in 2015, Glitter was sentenced to sixteen years in jail, of which he served eight before being released on license; he was then quickly reconvicted after he violated the terms of his license. At this point, few expect him to ever make a comeback, being inextricably associated with his storied history as a sexual predator.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In a 2008 interview with ''Cong An Nhan Dan'', conducted during his prison sentence in Vietnam for soliciting sex from minors, Glitter claimed that he was working on a second attempt at a comeback album and planned to release it once he got out of prison. However, any chance of him finishing the project was ended by his 2015 conviction as part of Operation Yewtree and his reconviction in 2023 for violating his parole.

* CreatorKiller: While TheNineties did not bring him any significant hits, he was still a respected and bankable performer and one of the symbols of the '70s GlamRock scene. In 1997, however, he was convicted for possession of child pornography on his computer. In the aftermath, he was banned from all performances and his cameo in ''Film/SpiceWorld'' was cut. With this, and various organizations (including the NFL) banning the use of his songs during events, he was forced to produce and release his final studio album ''On'' (2001) independently as no record company or distributor wanted their name attached to him, dooming it to sell only 5,000 copies. Whatever slim chances he had of winning back the crowd were lost when he was convicted in Vietnam for performing sexual acts on minors in 2006, and again in 2015 (in his native UK) for several child molestation cases from the late '70s.
