I hope they had their wombs taken away.

How so?

Jesus, this thread has really turned in to something else.

@ThePieceHall i was horrified what she went through. She was a hero frankly & my estimation of the police dropped below the floor with what they tried to do to her. How many other people who might think twice about reporting, knowing that any moment they could be accused of the same? It was truly awful. She was a very brave woman.

My thoughts exactly. Its good news that he is dead.

The world is a better place without that piece of shit.

I read them at the time, and I do think about it randomly sometimes. Utterly shocked how a mother could sacrifice her baby like that. If anyone hasn’t read the sentencing remarks from the trial - trust me; don’t do it. Harrowing. I shed no tears.

You know nothing about my moral compass.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for Watkins or any other despicable piece of shit who abuses children. In fact I am a survivor of CSA and have worked with children who have been sexually abused and exploited my whole adult life. I can be disgusted by Watkin's crimes and still think that some of the comments and jokes on here, as well as the insulting comments about people who work in prisons, are in poor taste. If you don't agree that's perfectly fine but your insinuation that my feeling uncomfortable with people falling over themselves to express jubilation at anyones death means I'm somehow excusing child abuse is hugely offensive, as well as completely illogical.

How can you say that, it is most likely true.

Yep it was horrifying that they just ignored her

Excellent news!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Gary Glitter next please!!!

Thanx for letting us know! Time to open up a bottle or champagne to celebrate. Always nice to know when these vile humans don’t get to live out a long comfortable life in prison.

MNHQ unsure why some of my posts have been deleted?

Are you on glue?

@ThePieceHall they went on to arrest her after his trial & accused her of colluding with him. Because she had the images that she’d shared with the police in the first place. It was dropped, but the stress of that experience following being publicly thanked for her part in bringing him down must have been hell.

can you even imagine.

It was sarcasm @Lesina

I only managed a couple of paragraphs and feel completely traumatised. Utterly sick, vile, pieces of shit (not even worthy of being called human beings). I hope those wombs (they're not mothers) never get to see their children again.

I've had many obsessions with rock stars, but the most I did was turn up to the concert venue really early to see the band and hear the rehearsal.

He got what he deserved, no doubt about it. But the 2 mothers were worse in my mind. He couldn't have done what he did without them offering their children to him. Their own babies.

I read the sentencing remarks after the court case and those women were very willing participants. Absolutely sickening.

The police also need to take some responsibility for repeatedly ignoring that woman who tried to tell them what he was doing/planning. Had they taken her seriously, he wouldnt have had the chance to abuse anyone.

So yeah, it's no loss he's dead. But he should never have had the opportunity to commit these crimes in the first place.

Persistently mocking her in an an embarrassingly cringeworthy manner, with the sorts of insults that most teenagers would find embarrassingly immature, and doing a particularly witless job of it (and, hilariously, trying to hold yourself out as the adult in the exchange.

While, all the while, apparently being too stupid to follow the conversation that you're attempting to have.

Genuinely thought I mind die of secondhand embarrassment reading your halfwitted attemps at shit posting.

Here we go again.

No, I am not. Read the thread then take that bloody back.

Did you, aye?

The sarcasm wasn't obvious at all though...
(I thought you'd got confused as to who he was)

I think the OP (and a few others) have made it clear it was sarcasm now though!

Just to pick up on this one point, actually it can be better to know. I've lived with mental distress all my life, due to events that happened in childhood.

But when I was finally informed of a (roughly) 12 - 16 week period of extreme neglect as a newborn in between biological and adoptive parents then finally some of that distress made sense. The damage can't be undone but at last I know why the distress seems to go so deep. It was a very big piece of the jigsaw puzzle and it has helped a great deal to know what happened. It stopped me feeling there was something intrinsically wrong in me.

It also explained certain physical skin issues that according to the biological parent I wasn't born with, but adoptive parents said were present when they got me, and the issues are most likely to be the direct and lifelong aftereffects of a physical experience. For me, finding these things out has been a good thing and oddly enough, mentally freeing even though the skin problems and other distress will remain.

It's incredibly difficult to know what to say or not say for the best, and also at what point anything should be said.

Can't believe we have Ian Watkins Truthers now - a man of whom there was reportedly a wealth of photographic and video evidence showing him participating in his crimes, as well as a wealth of witness evidence, and who ultimately plead guilty and then made light of his crimes.
