LostProphets Singer, Ian Watkins Sentenced To Thirty Five Years For Child Abuse

posted Dec 18, 2013 at 7:40 PM by Diamond Oz.  (11 Comments)

Former LostProphets vocalist, Ian Watkins, was today given a sentence of thirty five years for his sickening acts of child abuse, including the attempted rape of a baby. Twenty nine years will be spent in prison, with a further six on licence. His two co-defendents, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were sentenced to fourteen and seventeen years behind bars. The Welsh singer pleaded guilty to thirteen child sex charges at Cardiff Crown Court last month and the judge today stated that his actions "plunged into new depths of depravity."

Police are now working with authorities in the United States of America and Germany, as it is believed he may have committed similar acts in these countries. It was also revealed today that over 27 terabytes of data, around five times the size of the South Wales Police database, containing highly explicit images has been found in his home. He concealed his collection using encrypted files on an encrypted database, though experts from GCHQ, a British spy agency, were able to gain access to them.

I don't even get the point dude. Even if you did something useful with him that'd be good, like medical experiments or he can run a generator attached to a stationary bike for part of the day or something. Give some electricity back to the building he's stuck in. Nope.....just sit and walk around in this building for a few decades.......that'll teach you.

Not sure how it works across the pond, but stateside prisons are full of men who miss their children while they're locked up. This leads to continual harrassment (as well as physical violence and sometimes horrific death) against the child sex offender. If he was here he may be sitting in a cell, but he'd be constantly watching his back everytime he left the confines of his cell. The constant fear of an attack is befitting IMO and somewhat of a personal hell and is far more just than the justice system.

Pretty much works the same here, BG. Something tells me the guards won't care too much about leaving him unattended in a room full of violent men.

And of course his band mates were aware of the years of child buggery........ even fans were aware of this 'open secret'....... the entire lot should be charged for aiding and embedding.

A video was just removed from YouTube in which a girl states that she is underage, at which point LP drummer excitedly yells "right answer" while motioning to Ian Watkins. My advice to all the band members is to keep your crappy, soulless side projects in Europe..... and away from the States where sex with infants is less tolerated than in the circles with which you run.
