POP paedophile Gary Glitter faces being made bankrupt for dodging a compensation payout.
The shamed star, 80, has ignored a High Court order given last June to pay £508,000 in damages to a woman he raped when she was 12.
But the victim’s lawyers at Slater and Gordon have now issued enforcement action against him.
This would mean the case going back to the High Court, which could make him bankrupt.
A trustee would then take over his assets, including the £2million London penthouse flat he owns outright, and use them to repay the victim.
A source said: “He thinks he is above the law, but he is not.”
Richard Scorer, Head of Abuse Law at Slater and Gordon – which acts for the victim – said: “Last year Gadd was ordered to pay over half a million pounds in damages to my client.
“So far he has failed to do so, or indeed to respond at all.
“This confirms that he continues to treat my client and other victims of his vile abuse with contempt.
“We are pursuing enforcement proceedings against him.
“We are aware of a new potential parole hearing and have asked that the Parole Board be updated about Gadd’s ongoing behaviour.
“Given that Gadd continues to show no concern or remorse towards our client, and given that he continues to present a risk to the public, it would be utterly outrageous if he were to be released from prison on license now.
“We trust that the Parole Board will make the right decision, and take into account the important information we have provided.”
Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was jailed in 2015 for the abuse of the victim and two other girls between 1975 and 1980.
