Lostprophets' Frontman Child Sex Case Adjourned

posted in: Music News

Closing yet another chapter of this ongoing story, Cardiff Crown Court has adjourned the case against Lostprophets frontman Iat Watkins.

Watkins, 35, of Pontypridd, will now appear in court in May to face his charges. He is accused of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child under 13, more specifically conspiracy to rape a baby, and four offenses of possessing or distributing indecent images of children between May and December 2012.

The story does not end here. Accused along with Watkins is a 24-year old female who has been charged with the same offenses, as well as a 20-year old female charged with five of the same offenses but not conspiracy to rape. Their names have not been made public.

A statement released through Watkins’ attorney reads: “Mr Watkins furiously denies all of the charges and allegations made.

“He intends to fight to the bitter end to clear his name. He wishes to thank the fans, family and friends for the constant love and support they have given and continue to give throughout this testing time.”
