Well they're listed under counts 18 and 19 in that, and then:

In your case Watkins I have to consider the remaining counts in totality. On counts 13, 17, 18, 19, 30 and 31 there will be concurrent sentences of 12 months.
I'm not great at law so I assume that means he was sentenced in part for them? I don't really see a criminal offence with those...the girls consented and were of age

I don't know then, very strange. Unless there was more to those situations than what was said, which is unlikely.

Edit - with the second girl he videoed her taking cocaine, so that would be an offence, but then Watkins and the document refers to the first girl as underage. :shrug:

I felt the life draining from my face when I read that.

I have to warn you, I had to stop reading as I found it way too disturbing.
Some of you; with a stronger stomach than I, may be interested.

After the little I managed to read,
I hope he rots.

I read 4 pages and gave up because I wanted to vomit all over his repulsive face.

Me too, but in some ways I felt angrier at the Mothers who put their infatuation for him above their babies.

Can anyone explain to me how he was actually caught?

Those women are disgraceful human-beings as well, there is nothing I want more than to be a parent when I'm older and to think that these people have the thought process to do such things to their own children.. disturbing and unforgivable.

I didn't get very far into tbh sick ****ing bastard and those "mothers" jesus christ

Z 19-12-2013 11:32 AM

I read that entire document, I've actually gone pale wtf

arista 19-12-2013 11:33 AM

sick Evil mothers as well

Tom4784 19-12-2013 11:35 AM

Ugh, hopefully none of them will last long in prison.

The sentencing report made for harrowing reading, such depravity hardly seems possible. Anyone that's capable of things like that must not have a shred of humanity in them.

Z 19-12-2013 11:36 AM

Thank GOD he was given such a lengthy sentence - total abuse of power, I'm shocked that one of the mothers is a similar age to me (the younger one, she must be 21 or 22 now) - you know right from wrong, how could anyone do that to their own child? How can you carry a baby for nine months, go through child birth and bring up a little baby and then do that to them? This upsets me so much.

Cherie 19-12-2013 11:44 AM

Anybody know how he got caught?

No but I would also be interested to know that

Watkins was only stopped late last year after South Wales Police raided his home on a drugs tip and stumbled upon his hard drives containing images, videos and conversations about him attacking children.

Apparently female fans and his girlfriend had told the police of his obsession with child porn 4 years ago. :conf:

Ian Watkins 'fan gets tattoo of paedophile's police mugshot and 'mega lolz' slogan'

The image - posted on social media site Reddit today - appears to show the vile child rapist's face and the phrase 'mega lolz'
http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/arti...oo-2944300.jpg

A fan of Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins appears to have had the paedophile's MUGSHOT tattooed on his leg.

The sick image - posted on social media site Reddit today - seemingly shows the vile child rapist's face and the phrase 'mega lolz'.

That was the term Watkins used to describe his evil crimes the day after he admitted a string of child sex offences including the attempted rape of a baby.

The 36-year-old - jailed for 35 years yesterday - phoned a friend from prison and said: "It was like either me go up there and say 'Come on, it wasn't that bad, nobody got hurt'.

"I do my charm or do I end up making things worse for myself or do I just say I was off my head and can't remember?"

"I'm going to put out a statement on the 18th now (the day of his sentencing) just to say it was mega lolz, I don't know what everyone is getting so freaked out about."

http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/arti...er-2939274.jpg
Slogan: Ian Watkins (centre) of Lostprophets performing in front of Megalolz banner
PA
Lolz stands for "laugh out loud", and the phrase "mega lolz" was used by the Lostprophets on some of their t-shirts.

The group also performed in front of a back-drop saying MEGA LOLZ! on the main stage of the Reading Festival in 2010.

The user posted the image on to the 'cringe pics' section of Reddit - a place for images that 'embarrassment and shame just by looking at them'.

They claimed it was a 'friend of a friend' who had got the tattoo done.

Other users commented on the "utter stupidity" of the inking, while one called for the person to be "named and shamed".

Fans Launch ‘We Support Ian Watkins’ Facebook Page

In a rather incredulous turn, there is apparently a Facebook page for supporters of newly convicted pedophile, ex-Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins. The page currently has 40 likes and launched on December 10th—well past Watkins‘ own guilty pleas to numerous child sex related crimes.
The page—which may very well be an elaborate troll—goes so far as to post messages of support for Watkins, with fans adorning their wrist with logos of “IW Forever”. If the comments are any indication, the site isn’t being well received by the general public.

But in her defence, they were mistakenly tweeted; and made public knowledge, by the court houses twitter themselves.

The one looks so regular and normal and her facebook is still online with pictures of the poor child.
The other one looks typical 'goth' but still, both so young and you'd never suspect either of such a depraved crime.

Do you have some link?

The weird and disgusting thing is, she carried on seeing him and having sex with him even after he admitted sexually abusing a 5 year old in the USA.

She claims that she carried on seeing him to 'gather evidence'.

Z 31-12-2013 02:01 PM

How long do we reckon he's going to last in prison? Either he'll kill himself or someone will beat him to it... do not see him lasting in there

Black Dagger 31-12-2013 02:07 PM

I said about 18 months.

It'll be like Brady. He'll be kept separate from other inmates, constant suicide watch and force fed through a tube if they have to.

He doesn't deserve to die. That'd be too kind to him. :idc:

But then plenty of notorious criminals have been stabbed in prison or have committed suicide, prison officers can only do so much for any one individual inmate, they have to be vigilant about all of the inmates, not just one celebrity inmate... I reckon he'll be gone within the year, personally.
