Lostprophets' Ian Watkins denies 23 child sex offences

[rumtumtugger]

Am gobsmacked. More here

I really wish I hadn't read that

He has been CHARGED. I know innocent til proven guilty, but what a hideous collection of offences to be associated with. Absolutely vile.

God, I used to really fancy him. Ugh. :-/

The awful thing is I'm not even shocked anymore

So much coming out and I'm glad that the authorities are able to charge and try the people responsible for such hideous crimes.

It seems times are changing for the better in that respect.

I imagine there are an awful lot of abusers around the place who don't sleep very well at night with the fear of having their collar felt sometime soon. That is a very good thing imho.

so how come they name just him and not the two women?

I would suspect naming the women may identify some of the alleged victims. I would be surprised if they were not related to at least one of the children

Really wish I could link.

Both females are mothers and one has pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a baby and sending graphic photos.

According to the mail Watkins has pleaded guilty to "baby rape" think that terms disgusting

I think it is appropriate for the crime tbh.

No point dressing it up in order to make it sound less worse.

Baby rape sounds vile because it is vile imho.

I think the opposite tbh that it doesn't cover quite how severe it is.

I just hope that the poor baby has no lasting damage
