Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins admits attempted rape of baby and 10 other s-x charges

After admitting to a number of child abuse offenses, including the attempted rape of a newborn baby, detectives will continue to look into rock musician Ian Watkins.

The musician amended his plea from not guilty to guilty today at Cardiff Crown Court, admitting that he is a paedophile. According to Wales Online, his two female co-defendants agreed to multiple s-x assault counts against youngsters.

Watkins, on the other hand, claimed that he couldn’t recall conducting the “depraved acts” since he was a “heavy user” of crystal meth at the time.

The musician, who has sold 3.5 million records, confessed to planning to rape a kid under the age of 13, and his voice wavered as he meekly answered “guilty” to a charge of conspiring to sexually attack a child under the age of 13.

He also admitted to multiple counts of having indecent images of children, as well as two counts of taking indecent photographs of children from 2007 to 2008.

Watkins acknowledged to having and manufacturing child p-rn, as well as plotting to rape a newborn.

Watkins also acknowledged to having extreme p-rn of a person performing a s-x act on an animal.

According to the court, he claims he has no recollection of what would have been vital video evidence at the trial depicting the abuse of his one-year-old victim.

He had vehemently rejected the allegations, and devoted supporters had shown up in court to offer their support.

Watkins and the ladies pled guilty to virtually all of the counts against them on Tuesday, after jurors were informed they would have to study some very upsetting photographs and preparations were made for them to undergo counseling following the trial.

Prosecuting QC Chris Clee presented specifics of Watkins’ offenses after he acknowledged to committing them. “Ian Watkins was the lead singer of a successful band called the Lostprophets. He was also a determined and committed pedophile who engaged in serious s-x offences involving two babies”, he stated.

The 36-year-old Pontypridd singer will be sentenced on December 18. Judge Justice Royce told the jury that there would be no trial: “You have been saved from having to watch extremely graphic and distressing material.”

Watkins texted one of his co-defendants that he intended to “cross the line,” according to the court. When she responded with “A summer of incest and child p-rn” he replied: “Hell yes baby.” He then told her: “The sooner we start training her the better.”

According to the court, the two mothers sexually assaulted their children at Watkins’ request and were willing to make the youngsters accessible for s-x. Watkins attempted the rape while staying at a four-star hotel in west London shortly after speaking on BBC Radio 1, according to the prosecution.

The Pontypridd musician will be sentenced at a later date.
