Ian Watkins' crimes and convictions as Lostprophets singer 'fighting for his life' after prison stabbing
The disgraced former Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins is reportedly 'fighting for his life' after being stabbed in prison.
But who is Ian Watkins and what horrific crimes saw him serving his 29-year sentence? Our colleagues at WalesOnline have reported what Watkins was convicted for - and the sentence he is now serving. The court heard he plotted to abuse two babies with their own mothers in text and internet messages in which he spoke of his desire to “cross the line” and to intoxicate one young victim by blowing crystal meth smoke into the child’s face. And the judge heard details of a sickening 17-minute video shot in a London hotel room which showed Watkins perform a sex act on a child.
Sentencing Mr Justice Royce said the case broke "new ground'" and "plunged into new depths of depravity". He said Watkins had a 'corrupting influence' and had shown a 'complete lack of remorse'. He added Watkins posed a significant risk to the public in particular to women with young children. In 2019 Watkins was later handed an extra 10 months after he was discovered to have a mobile phone in his possession while behind bars. Initially, he denied having a three-inch GSTAR phone in his cell. As the verdict was read out, Watkins claimed that "known murderers" in his prison told him to keep an eye on the phone after chucking it on his bed.
