Personally i do not think his sentence was harsh enough, and that he should get a much longer sentence, years longer- but i do hope that in all this controversy, that perhaps this really will spark more concern and action against vietnams sex trade, as its somthing that is very bad and there has not been done alot about it over the decades. Hopefully this isn't somthing though that will fizzle-out once the hype and interest about glitters case dies down...
