Lostprophets' Ian Watkins sentenced to 35 years over child sex offences

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-25412675

never heard of him before but that terrible

It was a longer sentence than I expected him to get, but still nowhere near long enough. Same goes for the two mothers, they should have gotten as much as him. Scum the lot of them.

Never heard of this either but yes awful   

It is so sickening - you just can't believe that there are such depraved people in the world. I hope everyone who is in the prison as any of these monsters gives them are really really hard time.

 Lock them all up and throw away the bloody key

Unfortunately, Lynda, he'll be segregated for his own safety!  

What an evil man.

I was a massive fan of Lostprophets seen them live etc not sure how I feel about listening to their music now despite some of the tracks having quite fond memories from some personal good times

glad to see mother A and B getting lengthy sentences too it always baffled me why they would allow and encourage his behaviour and possibly further time to be dealt to him with this investigations in US and Germany. Can't see it being long tho before he is badly injured in prison despite segregation seems that someone always finds a way

We can but hope, Caryll and Jules - we can but hope.

Money. Greed. Drugs.

Absolutely horrific what he did while their mothers allowed it I hope they rot in hell.

Completely agree in most circumstances this just goes that step beyond scary to think about the levels of manipulation and grooming that he and other paedophiles are capable of

I love their music

But can you still listen to it & not think about what he did?

nope, it's ruined it for me

Sick just sick   

Im a big fan fo the music too (even had this perv on my wall!) i havent listened to the music since i heard, but i havent really felt like listening to it. I think i still would if i wanted to though, i dont really associate music with the singers, if i like the song i like it, if i dont i dont. Doesnt matter who it is lol

not really no, but i like some of their songs, older stuff mainly

It is horrific, what possesses someone to do that? It beggars belief   

I used to think the band were okay, he is utter scum, I would gladly watch him hang! On another note I'm on twitter and follow various musicians, one of them ( famous in rock circles) posted a photo of himself and that scumbag, saying ' feel a bit dirty, mega lolz' that made me really uncomfortable for some reason ( Watkins had said much the same) so I reported it. If anything it just bloody insensitive!

I used to listen to them when I was younger and a few of my friends went and saw them with backstage tickets    apparently they're planning to stop selling their music in shops etc! Sick b*stard.. and shame on the police for not listening to the reports early on. The fact that he described the abuse as "megalolz" just says what a sick, deluded man he is. They probably will keep him segregated for a while, but there's bound to be a "slip up" at some point. Prison's too good for scum like that!

i feel sorry for the rest of the band, they will forever be associated and their own lives will be ruined.

I never much liked their music, but if I had then I couldn't listen to it again. I know the other band members weren't involved, but surely they must have known there was something a bit odd about him?

Anyone who buys their music now is funding the sick bas*ard for when he eventually comes out of jail (if he ever does).

Apparently he's earnt £100,000 while he's been on trial... and somebody has had this done http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ian-watkins-fan-gets-tattoo-2944435   

That is just horrible. He must condone what he did, that is so sick -bowk   

Prison is too good for him   

Jesus! What's going on in people's heads?

Totally agree saz

I know what I would do but its not for posting on here!

He will get what's coming to him, no doubt about it! Karma is a bitch!

me i would get nasty meant hurgery rotties and let them chew on him stop before he dies make him better and when hes fully recover let it happen again

Kelsbels wrote:He will get what's coming to him, no doubt about it! Karma is a bitch!

Yes I believe in karma

Personally I don't think he is even worth you all wasting your breath talking about him.  

I'd keep him alive, let some parents with sharp implements in to torture him daily, give him every nasty illness, disease on earth and watch him suffer
But what goes around comes around, he's gonna suffer anyway, I just hope it's painful and lasts for the rest of his life same as what he done to those poor babies

Well they dont like pedos in prison so he'll get what's coming to him.....

the mothers of the kids were in on it.

they have already said he will be segregated for his safety. personally i think he will hang himself within about a month, then that will be that.

Good point!

he won't be kept separate the whole time, he's not that special

He has a lot of money, i bet he can pay his way into a single cell, so who knows    

sorry to say but im just listened to "fake sound of progress" nd still love it

He won't be in isolation for his full sentence, I know the mothers were in on it, I ment good parents who are rightly sickened. Inez makes a good point though! The guy is scum, I won't waste any more time or energy on his pathetic existence

No, but whenever he's within reach of other prisoners he'll be guarded extra heavily. Shame - let them get to him, he deserves whatever happens.

...usually with the full knowledge of the guards; they don't like scum like him either.
