this is a decent video about the whole thing leading to him going to prison. He had groupies give their kids to him.
May the perpetrators get a few blocks of ramen in their books.
So apparently the two guys killed him because of a prison debt, not because he was a nonce.
One of them was a drug dealing murderer and one kidnapped and brutally raped a lady in her 50s.
Let’s not glorify them. Not as scummy as Watkins but still pretty scummy.
We had 3 shit humans yesterday and they self-regulated to 2 shit humans today. I say keep it up.So apparently the two guys killed him because of a prison debt, not because he was a nonce.

I was confused how this dude could be such a total evil piece of shit............. then I read he was Welsh.
Hey we should create a company like GoFundMe except it will be exclusively for prisoners, so we can give them extra ramen or other items when they kill a chomo or do other good behaviors.May the perpetrators get a few blocks of ramen in their books.
Cause it's not normal. He has been convicted of touching kids not 17 year olds.Why are people even surprised when these 30 something year old guys, who wrote music that is clearly made for teenage girls, are into teenage girls? This guy, Jared Leto, and more I’m sure.
You know what I mean. These guys are writing songs that only a teenage girl would listen to. It shouldn’t surprise anyone when they’re kid touchers.Cause it's not normal. He has been convicted of touching kids not 17 year olds.
Guy was into literal babies, dude. None of it is good, but this guy put in the extra effort to be a special kind of shit bag.Why are people even surprised when these 30 something year old guys, who wrote music that is clearly made for teenage girls, are into teenage girls? This guy, Jared Leto, and more I’m sure.
He wasn't after teenagers though he was obsessed with molesting and touching literal babies.Why are people even surprised when these 30 something year old guys, who wrote music that is clearly made for teenage girls, are into teenage girls? This guy, Jared Leto, and more I’m sure.
Actually he does deserve deathWatkins's abuse and misconduct with children was reported as early as 2008 to South Wales Police, though the authorities repeatedly failed to act upon any of the leads. This included both sexual abuse and giving drugs to children (including cocaine).
Joanne Mjadzelics, an ex-girlfriend of Watkins, recalled him possessing graphic images involving minors and drug paraphernalia as early as 2010. In 2010, an Australian woman accused Watkins of assaulting her child, though the allegations were not investigated any further by authorities. During the recording of the band's fourth studio album, The Betrayed, in 2009, Mjadzelics was made aware by Watkins that he was abusing a two-year-old child in California whilst the band was recording in Los Angeles. Mjadzelics contacted the child's parents, who had also reported him to Welsh authorities (child sex offences committed by British nationals are crimes of extraterritorial jurisdiction in England and Wales), though again, no further action was taken to investigate the matter.
Watkins was first apprehended in June 2012 in connection with various drug charges, and he was granted bail shortly afterwards. Watkins had already attracted attention from Welsh law enforcement after several friends reported that he was frequently smuggling cocaine and methamphetamine from Los Angeles. He was arrested again on 4 November, for drug possession, and a separate allegation that he possessed an obscene image of a child. He pleaded not guilty to the charges of possessing explicit material, shortly after being granted bail yet again. Watkins performed his final show with Lostprophets on 14 November 2012 in Newport, Wales. He was arrested for a third time on 17 December 2012 on another drug possession charge. South Wales Police immediately conducted a search of his home and computer in connection to their prior investigation. During the search officers discovered numerous indecent images of children stored on his computer.
On 19 December 2012, Watkins was charged at Cardiff magistrates court with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a one-year-old girl and possession and/or distribution of indecent images of children and 'extreme animal pornography'. He was remanded in custody, as were two females who stood co-accused.
On 26 November, Watkins pleaded guilty to attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13, but not guilty to rape. This was accepted by the prosecution. He further pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault involving children, six counts of taking, making, or possessing indecent images of children and one count of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal. His victims included a baby boy, and he sent a text message to the mother of one victim that said, 'If you belong to me, so does your baby.' The South Wales Police investigation into Watkins, codenamed 'Operation Globe', required the co-operation of GCHQ to decrypt a hidden drive on his laptop, which was found to contain video evidence of his abuses. Investigators later bypassed the encrypted password to Watkins' laptop, noting that it read 'I FUK KIDZ'.On 27 November, the day after his guilty plea had been accepted by the prosecution, Watkins referred to his sex offences as 'mega lolz' in a recorded phone call to a female fan made from HM Prison Parc.
The judge said the case 'plunged into new depths of depravity', stating that Watkins had a 'corrupting influence' and had shown a 'complete lack of remorse'. A senior investigating officer on the case described Watkins as a 'committed, organised pdf file' and 'potentially the most dangerous sex offender' he had ever seen. In July 2014 Watkins's appeal to reduce the length of his jail term was rejected. Appeal judges said his offences were 'of such shocking depravity that they demanded a lengthy prison sentence.'
