Lostprophets Singer Ian Watkins Taken Hostage and Brutally Stabbed in Prison

Good riddance. I have no sympathy for pedophiles and repeat sex offenders.

I don't know the man, nor am I familiar with the crimes he committed. They are heinous, and a man guilty of such crimes deserves harsh punishment. Still, this is also horrific.

Better off dead.

A pedophile isn't in himself a valuable "hostage". There is more to this story that was left unsaid.

....

I thought the same thing, R4.

I don't think they were holding him because they wanted to punish him for the nature of his crimes.

It sounds like they were trying to extort money from him, or something like that.

[quote]attempted sexual assault of a baby

JFC. I second what R3 said.

The heard about this a few days ago. He needs to hurry up and die already.

*I

Old news!

Go away, R10.

No one cares about your stupid thread.

He is a monster. Too bad he isn't dead yet.

Sorry, bad link. Try this:

He was "brutally" stabbed? As opposed to a nice gentle stabbing.

[QUOTE]The band broke up in 2013 in the wake of the horrific charges against Watkins, with the other members eventually forming the new band

I have to wonder if any band members had an inkling or outright knew what was happening.

Oh dear how sad never mind

Fucker had it coming

"He was eventually freed by prison guards and treated in an ambulance"

I suspect the rescue effort consisted of the guards asking Watkins's captors if they were done yet.

This might not be true but I read that the guards didn’t intervene right away even though they knew what was going on. Ian was “tortured” fur 6 hours or something.

No pity for the shitstain, r18.

Molesting a BABY? How fucking sick do you have to be?

He deserved it.

That’s nice to hear. I hope it somehow injures him for life.

I don’t want him to die. I hope he somehow survives and can be brutalized by his fellow inmates and corrupt prison guards for years to come.

Chomos usually get their due in prison. Too bad it took 10 years.

Well damn. Those guards sure slow walked that rescue, didn't they? Six hours?! 🤣

[QUOTE]I don't think they were holding him because they wanted to punish him for the nature of his crimes. It sounds like they were trying to extort money from him, or something like that.

Extort what? What kind of money does a minor rock figure from the Aughts command? Whatever cash he had must've been eaten up by lawyers then.

My bet would be that after a careful, measured decade plus, relatives managed to get inside influence with the help of sympathetic guards. Six hours isn't even a pound of flesh for some using his penis to tear apart child and adolescent vaginas or anuses.

Didn't similar arrangements occur for Jeffrey Dahmer and Boston "Father" Geoghan?

According to someone who works at the medical center / hospital that IW was taken to he has tried to commit suicide many times and this also isn't the first time he has seen attacked. Wakefield manged to keep it out of the press before because he has never required outside medical help. He had teeth knocked out, serious right eye and right ear injuries, and was stabbed in the neck at least six times. He won't be a pretty boy anymore.

Been^

This guy on TikTok who served time in a tough prison has talked about what happens to chomos. He’s like, the whole time they serve it’s a living hell. There is no peace for these guys.

Shit! I meant the whole time they’re in not “serve.”

I'm very surprised that Wakefield has managed to keep IW attacks and suicide attempts so secretive considering what a huge story this is in Britain.

He resembles Satan

He also fucked animals, including his pet dog. I have no clue what could possibly happen to someone to make them that sick and evil. I read about his crimes 10 years ago and tbh, it kinda felt like it darkened my soul a bit.

How's Momma's mussy doing? Hanging in there?

I looked it up and it was several babies R19.

When a dog turns on humans and attacks it must be put down. So must people who rape babies. There's no question about it.

My only disagreement with you, r33, is that trapped and mistreated dogs just don't turn on their people. Unless cornered and threatened. They're not usually genetic threats like Pitt bulls.

I was more talking about dogs like Pitbulls and other well-known aggressive breeds R34. Completely different when a mistreated, threatened animal tries to protect itself.

This filthy paedophile sexually assaulted several babies - amongst all the other children he raped. I don't think he deserves to live and whatever happens in prison to him is just deserts.

Oh no!

Anyway....

Why did they wait ten years?

[quote] He had teeth knocked out, serious right eye and right ear injuries, and was stabbed in the neck at least six times. He won't be a pretty boy anymore.

Damn, I didn't know that.

I guess child molesters are treated the same in the UK as they are in the US.

[quote] I have no clue what could possibly happen to someone to make them that sick and evil

I was wondering the same thing.

This guy was smart enough and talented enough to become a lead singer in a popular band.

He had fame and made lots of money.

Yet it sounds like his mental illness became progressively worse.

His Wiki says that he even started isolating himself from his other band members, as they toured more.

Something was definitely up with this guy. Shouldn't a man like this have a full-on psychological assessment?

If for no other reason, than to understand the underlying factors behind his tendencies.

I have to wonder if any band members had an inkling or outright knew what was happening.

Ian's Wiki page doesn't mention anything specifically.

However, this incident made me wonder:

[quote]Watkins had also chosen to minimize personal contact with most of his bandmates, spending more of his time at his residence in Wales during much of their off-time, while the rest of his bandmates resided in Los Angeles. Bassist Stuart Richardson recalled during a December 2019 interview the tensions escalating into an altercation with Watkins after he failed to show up for a show:

[quote] I come off the stage, fucking livid. Go on the bus, Ian's on the bus. And I'm like 'nice one'. And he gives me some shit. And I black the fuck out and I'm laying punches into his face. I'm not fucking proud of it. But I'm laying punches into his face for 10 seconds or 10 minutes. I don't know. And I'm a big boy compared to him, so I'm not proud of this. And then he gives me this fucking look after I hit him. I had this can of Monster Energy in my hand and I smashed this fucking can into his head. And I'm like 'fuck', I go outside and puke. And for the next three weeks he's like black eyes, cut on his face and I'm like feeling fucking horrible about the whole thing. And that's what I did when he missed a show.

[quote] — Stuart Richardson in 2019

For Richardson to unleash that much rage on Watkins, they surely must have known or suspected what was going on.

Even more interesting, I think Watkins knew that he deserved it.

Because after that severe beating he received from Richardson, he came back to work the next day, despite his injuries.

Another thing his Wiki page mentioned is how the police in Wales just completely ignored all of the accusations and complaints made against Watkins:

[quote] Watkins' abuse and misconduct with children was reported as early as 2008 to South Wales Police, though the authorities repeatedly failed to act upon any leads linking Watkins to these allegations. Around 2006 or so, whilst on tour in support of the band's third studio album Liberation Transmission, multiple band members and road crew employees recalled seeing Watkins backstage with multiple underage fans.

[quote] Watkins' former bandmates claimed they were unaware of his conduct as his drug use had begun to cause heavy strain on his relationship with them. Watkins had requested his own private dressing room away from the other five band members, where much of his abuse of children allegedly took place.

[quote] Joanne Mjadzelics, an ex-girlfriend of Watkins, recalls him displaying multiple graphic images with minors or drug paraphernalia as early as 2010. Appalled by the content, Mjadzelics had made multiple complaints with South Wales Police, though very little action was taken at the time.

[quote] Mjadzelics was one of six people who had spoken to the police in regards to Watkins' conduct from 2008 to 2011. In 2010, an Australian woman had also come forward accusing Watkins of assaulting her child, though the allegations were not investigated any further by authorities.

[quote] During the recording of the band's fourth studio album The Betrayed in 2009, Mjadzelics was made aware from 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, though again, no further action was taken to investigate the matter.

The Welsh police should be held to account, as well.

The one place these criminal hate to go is prison.....hell on earth.

That's just stunning, r40. And depressing. 😔 He received implicit permission from authorities.

[Quote]Watkins that he was abusing a two-year-old child in California whilst the band was recording in Los Angeles

Why not report it in California where it happened? Welsh authorities have no jurisdiction there. Sounds like a lot of covering their asses after the fact. Is there evidence of reports filed way back when? No of course not, how convenient. I'm sure the authorities dropped the ball but I hate these self appointed 'heros' if only someone listened types. Yuck, the whole story sucks and I feel depressed for having read about it like the poster upthread said. I hope everyone involved in his life has received therapy because they need it.

Well, if this monster had RAPED A GODDAMN TODDLER in California and had gone home to Wales, then there would have to be extradition to get him to California for a trial. So the Welsh authorities would probably have to be involved, one way or another.

Now I'm thinking he lived in Wales precisely because the authorities were so negligent. Why the hell was that???

I remember reading about his case just after he was jailed, and some of that information will not leave my brain. Amongst many other acts, he tried to rape a baby of 11 months old. He persuaded 2 mothers to hand over their children, writing “if you belong to me, so does your baby”. And they gave their children to him. Not much shocks me in life, but the idea that mothers would do that is truly disturbing.

I don’t know how you rehabilitate someone like him. He’s highly manipulative and was entirely flippant about what he was doing. This creature will be eligible for parole in 2031.

Intellectually/philosophically, by instinct, I am totally against vigilante justice of any kind, but the amount of sleep I would lose if this man was wiped from the earth is precisely zero minutes.

So, do the assailants get early parole for this?

R39 - That makes a lot of sense. The attack, at least by his description, was out-of-character and the violence was disproportionate to the situation.

That fucking mom should be strung up too. Named and shamed. She's actually worse than this fuck, he has no connection to the kid.

I honestly think there was some jealousy with the other band mates. IW received all of the attention because of his looks and because he was the lead singer, the front man. IW was also, according to everyone, including his fans, extremely arrogant and unpleasant. The band absolutely knew he was messing around with with underage fans but I really don't believe they had any idea about children, just the teen fans. IW underwent a prolonged beating and his mouth and eye, and right ear are said to be mangled. He was stabbed 6-8 times in the neck/throat. IDK if that was done on purpose to ruin his voice, but IW was still very arrogant and it was said that he still " Strutted around the prison like he was still a rock star "

R48- You know, most of us are born with an instinct to protect children, especially your own flesh and blood. It is why cats mimic the cries of a baby when they need help or just want our attention. How anyone, especially a parent, overcomes this natural instinct or just buries it is beyond my comprehension. I realize that IW started grooming them when they were 12- 14 years old, but still doesn't explain it and it definitely doesn't excuse it.

[quote] I honestly think there was some jealousy with the other band mates. IW received all of the attention because of his looks

Ian wasn't really all that hot.

I think Stuart Richardson (the guy who beat his ass, blond in linked photo) is much hotter.

Ian's mom looks so nice and normal.

What the hell happened to him?

Maybe she always looked at him adoringly like that no matter evil shit he did.

*no matter what evil shit

I remember Peaches Geldolf REGULARLY brought up this guy and his sick shit in the tabloids . She said that the mothers/groupies were in on it. That it was vile, and nothing was being done about it. She was shocked. She overdosed before he was arrested. Poor fucked up Peaches. She tried.

Here is a link to Peaches being told to shut up and not name anyone publicly.

And how did Peaches Geldorf know???

Was her dad friends with this monster?

R57- This was being talked about all over the net years before he was arrested. Many knew.

Death to them all is the only answer. Slow and painful death. I wish I had not read what the mothers and he did. Beyond depraved.

Exactly the same as Michael Jackson R58. Many people knew about what he had being doing to young boys for decades but didn't want to do anything to jeopardize their cash cow or attract negative publicity.

Going against MJ was trickier. He had a huge cult fandom and his persona was that he was fragile and child-like. Not predatory. As the ps made him more grotesque that image was harder to believe, but it worked for a long time.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Was he sodomized repeatly & forced to eat dirty prisoner manseed?

Did he swallow?

Sexual predators are skilled at manipulating people around them, who either refuse to believe they're really doing what they're doing or are willing to overlook it for whatever reasons. The police hate charging them because these cases hardly ever lead to a conviction, so they feel like it's a waste of their time.

And yes, people pimp out their kids all the time, especially when money's involved.

This guy was exceptionally depraved, I think he edges out Jimmy Savile for the UK title.

I love current year! I was just wondering why those pussies at his prison were allowing this fucker to breathe. Someone just got some money put on their commissary account!

Let us remember his password was "I FUK KIDZ" and also ""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 " oh Ian, now the mega lolz are on us!

So long. Farewell. The only good baby rapist is a dead one. Real justice caught up to him, which is actually rare for pedophiles contrary to popular belief. I’d give some money to his killer’s legal defense if I could.

......

Possibly the ultimate "and nothing of value was lost".

He was caught with 27 terabytes of CSAM? In 2013? Jesus christ You know, everytime I see these sorts of things, I always think "How is there THAT much child abuse content." Every time, always shocks me. It probably shouldn't, but still. Awful.

Sing it, Cube.

I just (queasily) read this thread without first noticing the story and most of the replies, including R27, were from 2023. It was a relief to see this monster finally met his fate.

I wonder what took them so long? I hope his years in prison were hell on earth.

About time.

Sadly, the first time he was stabbed it was because of a drug debt. I bet this time it was too. He had some money so he was able to buy some friends and protection. I know that people are molested go on to molest and I do have sympathy for them. But fucking babies? That's just sadism and there's no redemption. And he wasn't trying to be a better person whilst in the clink. He wasn't doing counseling or participating in drug groups, he was fucking texting dumb cunts and molesting vicariously through them. So fuck him. At least Mark Salling had the dignity to take himself out. I agree with R69 and would like to add this, from Norm.

Pedo justice. Drug debt. Tetanus from a thumb tack. Sometimes when good things happen in the world, it doesn’t matter why. 🤷‍♂️

Throat slit in prison.

We all get what we deserve.

R75 - The DM article at r62 suggests it was more than a drug debt. Hate and envy mixed in because he didn't share? I'm stunned that a) he was allowed visitors of this sort given his sex crimes; and b) that he wasn't in protective custody or isolation given the previous attack.

[QUOTE]The attack stemmed from a row over visits from Watkins alleged younger 'girlfriend' as well as guitar lessons.

[QUOTE]In 2017, it was revealed the paedophile was allowed to have three 'groupies ' visit him in jail on a regular basis, one of which he was seen holding hands with and kissing.

Yes R78, he was still doing his same bullshit. One of the chicks who wore a wedding ring from him had a two year old which I think she lost custody of. It's infuriating he was allowed to have all the tools that he used to commit his crimes in the first place. This motherfucker was never going to change. I wonder if his people will sue the prison. I bet they do.

Rest in piss with your fellow pedophile Diane Keaton.

r80?????

Sorry, R81, I read that somewhere and was shocked and had to laugh at it. I meant to put quotes, it was so bizarre I had to share.

Diane Keaton?

R13- that transcript made me sick to my stomach. how that hel does a person get so fucked up as to hurt babies? and doubly sick he finds mothers equally sick, who enjoy sexually torturing the own babies?

i hope he survives his injury but is severely physically and mentally impaired. prison alone is not punishment enough.

the horrible thing is we’ll never know the extent of his crimes. he clearly had a pattern of abuse stretching over years, not limited to the crimes he is charged with.

R84 This thread started in 2023 when Watkins was attacked, but survived. It was revived fourteen hours ago because this time he was killed.

Its unfortunate he’s a sick pedophile. He’s hot.

oops. read he died. too good for him

When he was taken hostage and stabbed in '23, they had him for 6 hours. I can imagine the guards saying, "We negotiated really hard, but for them to hand him over they'd have to stop stabbing him, and neither side was willing to agree to that."

Guess he finally got his comeuppance.

Thank You DL, I never heard of this man or his band until I read it yesterday.

I'm glad he's DEAD, I hope it was very painful for him; hope he enjoys HELL

They need to interview every kid from this video. God also those shitty aught bands seemed pedos. Blood on the dance floor was another one with a creepy front man, but at least he was just banging teens, not babies. The music, the hair, the whole aesthetic is so horrible.

After I read that article and saw what the password for his computer was, I was done.

I remember reading a transcript of his texts or instant messages with one of the whores whose kid he was trying to fuck. He was saying how they were going to have another baby, strictly for abusing. He said something like, "all babies have the rooting reflex so they will suck anything that comes to their mouth". What the fuck. Is he just a sadist? He's tight with his mom, or was, ha ha. I wonder what she has to say about this. People like this can't be fixed. A bullet is the only cure.
