Deano6 Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Blimey Charlie. Gulp! Reading through that report, which admits that it is a censored version of the true extent of what went on, is truly disturbing. However one part seemed quite incongruous with the rest of it... The court heard in Oct 2006, Watkins met up in a hotel with a 16-year-old girl from Boston, whom he had met during during a Lostprophets concert. She dressed in a schoolgirl's outfit and he filmed their encounter. In Oct 2008 he filmed himself having sex with another 16-year-old girl, who was also a Lostprophets fan. Why was that part of it? It's not illegal to have sex with a 16 year old is it (assuming it happened in the UK)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly certain that sexually explicit images of somebody under 18 are illegal in the UK unless taken, and kept, in the context of an established relationship. From the CPS : "The fact that the subject of the indecent photograph(s) is aged 16 or 17 has no impact on sentencing starting points where the activity depicted is at level 5."

bpsaint Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Been reading the tweets from https://twitter.com/rupertevelyn this afternoon, makes some of the Saville stuff pale in comparison. Utter utter sick individual, deserves to be put down, in an entirely painful way. To think I paid money to see that ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see myself as a vindictive person - and I am very much against capital punishment, even though stuff like this does test my resolve. In this case, I think that would be far too easy a let off. He will have a horrific time in jail. Though, I suspect he may "take matters into his own hands".

benjii Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Like Saville, it seems as though a lot of people must have known he was up to something awful for a long time. And, like Savile, if you look at the weight of material on the Internet (there is plenty predating the criminal charges against Watkins) it is hard to imagine how he was able to carry on like this without the involvement of the authorities sooner. This case, aside from the shocking child abuse, also offers a stark illustration of the vacuity and danger of celebrity-obsessed culture and idolisation in general. It seems that his "star" status was used as a lever for abuse for years and that a lot of young women may have been victimised through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 He will have a horrific time in jail. Not necessarily. Prisoners like that are normally segregated from the main prison population for their own safety and end up on dedicated wings with like minded mates.

Usually in these cases the perpetrator has been sexually abused as a kid themselves. I think there's a strong case for chemical castration in extreme circumstances.

Edit: Just for the record, I thought Lostprohets were shit even before they started raping babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsaint Posted 27 November, 2013 Share Posted 27 November, 2013 I have never heard of Lost Prophets (except in relation to P*mpey's finances) before this. So while it's horrible I suppose he's just another sick bloke to the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
