Ian Watkins (Lostprophets): Sentenced To 35 Years
 

Thoughts?
Is it okay to still listen to their music?

(have listened to start something since) try to block out what he did when I did tbh

the whole thing still feels really, really weird

Yeah, I think I feel the same.

I know that 'innocent until proven guilty' should stand but the evidence seems stacked pretty high.
Plus, I haven't read evidence so shocking since the Bulger case tbh.

Still, I find myself listening to their songs sometimes and find myself feeling bad for doing so.
But then one person shouldn't be able to taint the career of five people I guess...

yeah. and the band wouldn't have immediately quit the band if there wasn't something in it, they would have been behind him

I've stopped listening. I wrote in the "irritate thread" once that I was going through my old cd's, heard their song and remembered what he did. I hate peados with a passion so it's best to stop listening if you don't want to think about it everytime. They made some good tunes but they weren't THAT good.


I still don't understand how you rape a baby, especially a guy that was as great looking as him and could get any woman he wanted. (not saying how you look determines anything). Paedophilia, mental issue 100 %.

It was conspire to wasn't it? He didn't actually do it (don't know)

Exactly. When they announced the break-up, I think that pretty much sealed the nail in the coffin.

yup

"Mr Watkins is accused of two separate counts of baby rape and conspiracy to rape another child.

He is also charged with one count of sexual assault, one of aiding and abetting sexual assault by penetration and conspiracy to sexually assault a child.

In addition he faces 17 counts of making, taking and possessing indecent images and one of possessing extreme pornographic image involving an animal.

He denies all 24 charges."

Jaayyyyysus

Tell me about it :shocked:

Is he Guilty
or was he set up

Thats a lot of charges

raping a baby - thats Evil
if he is Guilty.


[This case involves allegations
of sexual abuse of very young children
Judge Justice Royce]


do they have proof?

What evidence is floating about on tinternet? I know nothing about the case, really. I feel awful for the other bandmates having to ditch this stigma though... will never happen, most likely.

If there was one or even two charges you could probably make a case for him being innocent, with 24 charges against him there is no way he was not involved on some level. Throw the book at him.

I remember when this first came out and H from Steps got a **** load of abuse... :blush2:

He's pleaded guilty...

Disgusted, I used to love his work, Rooftops and Last Train Home are two of my all time favourite songs.

I don't get what goes through people's mind sets to do such things :mad:

Ughh...just sick

I hope the child's mother is spayed like the dog she is.

Raping an 11 month old baby, jesus christ.

This.

This is actually so horrific....what a ******

I was going to say that he should get the death penatly, along with his friends that are involved, but that would be too good for them. I hope they all live until they're 90 and suffer for every single second of it.

He admitts doing the baby


Send him away

There's some weird people about

For anyone that has knowledge of law, I take it the difference between sexual assault and rape is that the latter involves penetration? Also, how come he can be named but the co-defendants are to remain anonymous for 'legal reasons'? Seems a bit unfair. And I read yesterday that jurors can't search the internet for details about the co-defendants, do they not know them by name either?
