LostProphets lead singer (peadophile)

[JustOne]

I actually read somewhere he has admitted all charges, so yes.

Singer Ian Watkins has pleaded guilty to 13 sexual offences, including two of attempting to rape a baby, but denied two counts of raping the child.

So did he?

Do not think he did actually, it was attempted rape still sickening all the same

I stand corrected, said the man in the orthopaedic shoes.

Shame they are shutting down Dartmoor prison as that is a cold, dank, hole of a prison like the one used in Porridge.

He may be wrong in the head but he still knew what he was doing was wrong and for that the crimes he has committed are unforgivable, ever.
He has committed one of the crimes the criminal fraternity despise as much as the rest of the nation and for that he will have prison punishment dealt out to him on every occasion possible. This man is not fit to be part of society and very few who commit these crimes ever stop the urges or the intent to commit them. So why should the rest of society have to endure the ever present danger of having him around them?

My view on this is that what he did is serioulsy shocking and no was is it excuseable but the people calling for him to be hung need to really think about what they are saying.

If it was your son,brother,dad that had commited this crime could you honestly say you would want to see them hung or beaten to death in prison?

I'd much rather the person lived but spent the rest of their life with the guilt of their crime hanging over them for the rest of their lives.

Honestly?

If a family member of mine was a kiddie-fiddler they would be praying the law got to them before the rest of us.

 

[bozza]

So taking the law into your own hands and mudering someone is the the answer then?

Anyway I've said what I wanted to say on the matter and it's not a subject I want to argue/debate over as it's not a nice subject so won't comment anymore on it.

When I saw the thread title, I thought this was about someone who loved peas. What an unpleasant surprise.

 

[cleanstrike]

I don't know about the rest of you but I cannot even begin to contemplate the mind workings of a person that would ever want to attempt sex with babies. It's just too bizarre a concept for my brain to get to grips with. I'd love to see the psychologists reports on this bloke just to try and understand what's going on in his head.

Paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder. As much as it sickens you that he committed these acts they were no more a conscious decision to this man as your own sexual orientation.

I love how people who don't want to see individuals beaten or murdered for a crime that have been captured and dealt with automatically become "do-gooders"

 

[jimbob.someroo]

There's an interesting read in vice which sort of sums up my feelings and those of a lot of people my age - http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/ian-watkins-has-forced-thousands-to-forget-their-adolescence

edit should probably add that the article is a bit sweary (from the first couple of lines) for those easily offended by that sort of thing.

So your saying he didn't know what he was doing was sick & wrong?

 

[Imurg]

I have no qualms in saying that I don't care either way what happens to him inside.
He's off the streets so can't do it again, and the extra expense to the tax payer is not worth working out its so small.
Should something unfortunate, violent and/or painful happen to him I'll have no feelings for him whatsoever. Not wishing it on him, wouldn't even do that to my worst enemy, but I really don't care if it does or not.

 

[woody69]

So your saying he didn't know what he was doing was sick & wrong?

No. I am saying he had no way of controlling his compulsions.

 

[Pin-seeker]

No. I am saying he had no way of controlling his compulsions.

But he acted on those compulsions. You'll be wanting us to feel sorry for him next.

Is it only me that finds it a bit strange that people nowadays no longer are content with being repulsed with an obviously horrible set of incidents, but feel the need to share that repulsion and feel that topic is worth discussing? And that then ends up with some daft argument over justice. I know it's a forum for discussion and all that, but nevertheless.....

This year keeps getting worse

I'm old enough to remember jimmy Saville and even wanting to be on jim'll fix it, and Rolf Harris etc but still young enough to have "liked" this band when they first came about

It's like having to completely re access your formative years

What this guy has done is beyond sick and wrong, and the parents of the kids are far worse, mothers are supposed to protect their kids from stuff like this not be willing participants!!!

The only plus from this is that the kids are far too young to remember anything and at least they will hopefully have been taken away from that kind of environment and can possibly live better lives in the future

 

[woody69]

There you go again with the statement that because I don't believe he should be hung, drawn and quartered, I now think we should all feel sorry for him? How about just accepting that he now has his liberty taken away and will no longer have access to children and justice has prevailed? Taking someone's life isn't justice, it's revenge. I again have to reiterate the point that he has a psychiatric condition. It is a mental illness and he is incapable for controlling his compulsions. I abhor the fact he acted on them instead of getting treatment / help, but seeing as society's general view to a condition they know little about is usually one of disgust and this overwhelming desire by some in society to cause that person physical harm, maybe you can see why he kept quiet about it.

I think you'll find people have always shared their feelings and discussed topics such as this, but with social media, the Internet and 24 hour news the information is more freely available. It's why some people feel like the world is going to the dogs. It isn't, they just hear about it more often.
