London, Aug 30: Pop paedophile Gary Glitter had organised a pool party where he filmed girls in swimsuits on a video camera, one of his victims has revealed. Twenty-four-year-old Amie Bodenham, who was just 12 at that time, says that Glitter had invited her and a friend of hers to the home of one of his close friends.
She said that they met Glitter at a marina where he kept his boat, and that she first thought that Glitter was a nice old man.
However, she said, after Glitter was arrested, she felt “sick to the core” as she recalled how he had been on a sun-lounger, and filmed her frolicking in her swimsuit.
Bodenham further revealed that she believed that the pop pervert was grooming her and her 13-year-old pal for sex, as he had asked her and her friend to spend a night alone with him on his yacht.
“I was young and star-struck and just thought he was a nice old man,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“But now I realise that he was probably grooming us for sex."
“Why would anyone ask two young girls to spend a night alone with them on a yacht?"
“I feel ashamed just thinking about it."
"This all happened only a couple of months before he was arrested for child porn,” she added.
Glitter had bee jailed there in 1999 for downloading 4,000 images.
