Thumbs down Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins facing six child sex offence charges

Quote:
THE lead singer of Welsh rock band Lostprophets has been charged with conspiracy to rape a child under 13.

Ian Watkins, 35, of Pontypridd, appeared before Cardiff magistrates yesterday to face a total of six charges relating to sexual offences against children.

The 35-year-old, whose band have sold more than 3.5 million albums worldwide, is alleged to have conspired with another woman to rape a one-year-old girl, Cardiff magistrates 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 — dressed in a black hooded top and looking visibly tired — would be denying the charges and argued that his celebrity status could help to enforce bail conditions.

He also added that Lostprophets had cancelled a planned tour, Watkins had no previous convictions and his mother, who was sitting in the public gallery, was willing to put forward her house as a surety.

But 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 Monday, December 31.

I'd make a joke right about now, but those allegations, if true, are just too fucked up.
What a cunt.

Lostprophets (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...peaker.svg.png /lɒstˈprɒfɪts/) are a Welsh rock band from Pontypridd, formed in 1997. Founded by vocalist Ian Watkins, bassist (later guitarist) Mike Lewis, drummer Mike Chiplin and guitarist Lee Gaze, they were originally a side-project to hardcore punk band Public Disturbance. To date, Lostprophets have released five studio albums, including their most recent release Weapons on 2 April 2012. They are also part of the Cardiff music scene.[citation needed]
The band have achieved two top ten hits on the UK Singles Chart ("Last Train Home" and "Rooftops"), one number one single on the Alternative Songs chart ("Last Train Home"), several Kerrang! Awards and nominations, and have sold around 3.5 million albums worldwide.

So, these guys are like the bridge between post-Strokes and emo-pop?

This is pretty gross.

I did like that when it came out. Then I heard a second song, and it got worse from then on.

Haha, Visible Noise Records disabled the comments under all of their Lostprophets videos. Probably a good idea.

How does "extreme" animal pornography differ from just regular animal pornography?
