Lostprophets Frontman Ian Watkins Denied Bail Once Again

Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins Denied Bail Once Again

Ian Watkins, the frontman of Welsh rockers Lostprophets, has once again been denied bail after being arrested for various charges of child sex offences.

Watkins, who was arrested back in December, has been refused bail once already during his case, and has been forced to appear at courts via a video link each time he’s been due to attend. He has been held in Parc Prison in Bridgend since his arrest (alongside two females ages 20 and 24 held for similar offences), and it looks like he’ll be staying there until at least his next court date, which will take place on March 11th.

As well as conspiring to rape a one year-old child, Watkins has been charged with conspiring to abuse two young children, as well as producing, possessing, and distributing indecent images of children - and even possessing extreme animal pornography.

His band Lostprophets have sold over 3.5million albums worldwide, but their future is seriously in doubt now. His bandmates have expressed their shock at the situation and have nothing to do with the charges, and we wish them all the best in their future endeavours, whatever they may be.
