LOSTPROPHETS Vocalist Charged With Child Sex Offenses - Dec. 19, 2012

According to BBC News, singer Ian Watkins of the Welsh rock band LOSTPROPHETS has been accused of sexual offenses against children. He was reportedly refused bail and will remain in custody until December 31. Along with him, two women aged 20 and 24 have been remanded in custody on similar charges.

The 35-year-old musician is charged with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a one-year-old girl and possession/distribution of indecent images of children.

Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Peter Doyle said: "Specially trained staff are available to speak to anyone with concerns or information regarding this investigation and a dedicated telephone number has been set up.

"I want to encourage anyone who has any concerns or information which they think may be relevant to contact us.

"Safeguarding children involved in such cases is always a high priority and as such measures have already been taken."

LOSTPROPHETS has sold more than three million albums worldwide and topped the U.K. chart with 2006's "Liberation Transmission".

The band's most recent CD, "Weapons", came out in April.

As much as I hate this band, but just the fact that he is charged with something doesn't make him guilty yet.
If he is, though, he should be raped in prison.

The warning signs were there, this is from 2010:

Lostprophets have announced that they are set to return to the secondary school the band members used to attend.

The invite-only gig at Pontypridd's Hawthorn Secondary has been organised as part of the Valleys Homecoming campaign – which aims to highlight contributions to music, arts and comedy culture in the Welsh Valleys

"That fucking asshole from The Who" was found not guilty. Do some research it's really not that hard there's a site called google that's a good place to start.

Pete Townshend signed up for a child porn site and admitted so, saying it was for 'research'. They cautioned him as there were no images on the computers they checked, which means they couldn't find anything...on those computers. Because people have one computer for life...

The rumour is that Ian Watkins was arranging to meet a fan to molest her one year old daughter. He has NOT been convicted...innocent until proven guilty, none of us know the facts. Either way, that band are over.

I know I'm using an apples-to-oranges comparison here, but just because someone was exonerated, doesn't necessarily mean he or she is totally innocent. Cases in point, OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony.

But seriously, anyone ever notice shitty bands are always the ones that end up having sex offenders? At least this band and Static-X come to mind. Gun control? We need nu-metal control.

A six month investigation prior to his arrest is not a fucking set up. The fact that he was refused bail also means that the prosecution have enough evidence to make him a flight risk.

You can sit and speculate, but even without the conspiring to rape a baby, his computer is full of photographs of sexualised children, some of which he had taken personally AND extreme beastiality.

How does one set someone up that way?
