WTF, looks like another Paul Gadd on our hands. Sicko
Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has been remanded in custody after appearing at Cardiff magistrate’s court to face child sex abuse allegations.
The Welsh rock star, whose band has sold over 3.5 million albums, is alleged to have conspired with a woman to rape a one-year-old girl, the court heard.
He also stands accused of two incidents of conspiring to engage in sexual touching with two young children; possessing, making and distributing indecent images; and possessing “extreme” animal pornography.
The conspiracy charges related to a period between May 1 and Monday, while the indecent images related to a period between August 12 and Monday.
Defending barrister Tom Crowther said his client would be denying the charges.
Presiding magistrate Alan Knight opted to remand Watkins - along with two women aged 20 and 24 - into custody.
The women, who face similar child sex allegations, cannot be named for legal reasons. All three will appear before Cardiff Crown Court on December 31.0 -
Oh my dear God.
I do not know him or his band - this is just too sick for words.0 -
He needs putting down0

That really is shocking. If true then there isn't a harsh enough punishment available.0

Proper mad, I've seen the Lostprophets a fair few times as well. The feller wants shooting if this is true.0

Bloody hell, i've got a few of their albums and i used to own one of their early demo tapes...this is a bit of a shocker :00

Not a big fan of the cliche, but "he could have anyone he wanted" springs to mind. Really don't get it.

Take him to the Tower, off with his head. Never had this nonsense with Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas and Gerry and the Pacemakers.0

Hi
Absolutely but Tom's initial query was why he'd not just go after the groupie/fan type.sidcup-red said:

Appallingly horrible if true.

Absolutely horrendous and a quite unimaginable charge/act. Let's have the matter tried and resolved as soon as possible.0

Too horrible to contemplate. If found guilty he should never be let out. And offered no segregation in prison. Then he will understand what it is like to be defenceless in the face of unbelievable abuse.0

Anyone who goes out with women like fearne cotton should have questions asked to them. A girl that has the body of a malnourished 13 year old boy.
But seriously, innocent until proven guilty and all that but the cps do not bring charges like that without good ground to. Absolutely disgusting0 -
A one year old girl my whole body just shook in anger and disbelief
What sort of animal scum is this person
I hope he gets his veins ripped out and bleeds out the filthy no good words you can't say0 -
If he's found guilty......0
-
That's got to be incorrect about the age of the would-be victim surely?0
-
I stand corrected. I just read the news report and if it is true he should be given the toughest sentence possible. Truly disturbing and why any person would get gratification out of such a vile, horrific act is beyond me.0

Absolutely shocked, loved the LP in my earlier years.0

can anyone tell me why his name has been allowed to be put out there but neither of the women involved can be named for legal reasons. Why not?0
-
I don't know but it could be that the two woman had some sort of care/responsibility for the child. In which case naming them might identify the child.LargeAddick said:can anyone tell me why his name has been allowed to be put out there but neither of the women involved can be named for legal reasons.

But as I say I don't know.
The whole thing is too distressing to even think about.

makes my blood run cold.
nothing, and i mean nothing, would be harsh enough punishment for the scumbag.0 -
"and possessing “extreme” animal pornography"
And he's Welsh. Cue the sheep jokes.
EDIT: I know this isn't really a joking matter before someone has a pop.

With him being kind of a celebrity I think they thought it would help in getting people to come forward on the matter.LargeAddick said:can anyone tell me why his name has been allowed to be put out there but neither of the women involved can be named for legal reasons. Why not?

Still seems a bit harsh , does the judge have to allow for him to be named or is there a presumption that all adults can be named unless there's a good reason not to ?cafctom said:
