Ian Watkins

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
I had to report my ex last year after I found out from his own (adult) daughter that he had sexually assaulted his new girlfriend’s daughter. Not one person had done anything about it so I contacted social services who got the police to investigate but nothing came of it, as far as I know the girlfriend is still with him and I reckon they got the daughter to go back on what she said. ducked up.
Thing is, I bet you were the one who was ostracised! I don't get why people stay with people like this.

Not much is done when caught. One freak in my area has just got two years SUSPENDED for 2000 images of CSA including rpe of newborns. I nearly chucked up my dinner. Walking the streets he is. Out of prison. What are these judges thinking! Where do they think these images come from!

I read an old tabloid interview with his stepdad last week where he does blame drugs for Ian's decline and crimes.
I work in forensics with SO’s. What the step father said could hold an element of truth. Crystal meth is rife in chem sex parties, is used to enhance the experience. However, if you already have a sex addiction, that with access to the internet would have progressively worsened the content to satisfy it. 1 in 6 men have accessed CSA material, most of it isn’t down to peadophila alone. It’s down to sex and porn addiction which gets worse through seeking more extreme content going from hardcore sex, to grape, to incest, to teens, to children and animals. IW was also a sex worker, he used to work alongside his ex girlfriend Joanne M dubbed themselves the brother and sister slave duo. Your average man ‘only’ has access to the internet and if they physically offend, they will seek a vulnerable single mum or groom a vulnerable family. Watkins had access to the entire world and more which enabled him to offend the way he did with nobody stopping him, with no real life consequences. I mean, if I had a severe drug addiction and didn’t turn up to work or was using at work, I would lose my job, then I would lose my home, etc. IW didn’t have this, so there was no stopping him. Even though JM went to the police, I do doubt her intentions behind her reporting. I don’t believe she did it for the benefit of the children.

I hadn't heard this before, do you have any more info about it? When did news of this emerge?

In 2012/13 when he was arrested, it was all on forums. There were also text messages from her to him saying something along the lines of ‘I can’t wait for you to get me pregnant so we can abuse the baby’ not those exact words but exact context. She did the correct thing going to the police, but seems she only did it to spite him every time he dumped her. I can see why she was investigated herself.

It’s all very odd and something just doesn’t sit right.

There’s a video on YouTube of her doing an interview some years ago with a guy asking her about her rock star ex boyfriend and her sexual activities. And she starts telling him in graphic detail about
having incestuous sex with a sibling when she was a young child
She was framing it as being sexy and funny rather than horrifically depraved :sick:

Yeah she don't sit right with me either... I was reading one of the forums from back way before he got caught. Everyone knew. I won't even go into what's written on them but easy enough to find. Sick sick sick evil sick man.

Yes she’s never sat right with me. Something off about her
Why would you keep going back to ‘collect’ more CSA images when you have them already? Especially when you have a son of your own. She went back because she was infatuated with Watkins. The police do not need a large collection to act. In fact they didn’t initially arrest and raid him for sex offences, it was for drugs. They found the images themselves on his devices.

Where can I find that? I'm inept when it comes to this kind of thing!

I'm quite sure they knew a good amount of what he was up to - probably not the ages of the children involved but definitely that he was skirting with legality (if not morality) of who he was getting involved with. I remember rumours that he was selling himself on a website, including very graphic photos and I managed to find said website and I am not great when it comes to the Internet etc so if I managed to find it - proving that rumour to be true - I'm sure they knew what he was up to in many ways.

My opinion is that if they truly know nothing, the best thing would be to stay quiet and deal with any accusations privately, rather than threatening people online. The person Lee Gaze is in a spat with has said 'I have the receipts' and is willing to take him on in court and I reckon you wouldn't do that unless you really, really had proof given the severity of Watkins crimes and how serious the nature of that kind of libel actually is.

ETA @shellie what band was it??
Black Veil Brides. Even roadies and people who worked with them talked about it when it ended up online so there is no way the rest of the band didn't know.

She also claimed his jail sentence was too harsh 🤦‍♀️
Yeah her little plan backfired. I think she thought he’d get a few years in prison, if that, then cancelled and blacklisted from his celeb status with only her to run back to. Guilt must have ate her alive knowing she was part of it all. The only reason the judge let him off the actual grape charge was because the video of him SA the baby boy didn’t show a ‘complete grape’ so they couldn’t prove it. The courts only know what happened through Watkins home made footage, which did not show the extent of the abuse - which is horrifying with what we already know.

Where was this?? Is this forum still visible?

I tried to quote the above from Archduchess of Luxembourg’s post but messed it up, sorry.

Anyway, the forum doesn’t seem to be visible anymore but I took that screenshot from the YouTube vid where she’s being interviewed talking about
childhood sexual activity

The interview has now been removed. The person who posted it got told to take it down due to copyright violation.

That makes sense. A scorched earth eradication of all the competition and then she’d support him through his “trauma recovery” 🤮

I remember all this on a forum I joined, there were loads of pics of him in bondage gear, doing lines, photos of JM entertaining pages and some of her with clients, endless screenshots of her arguing with groupies on sites, she also had a young son at the time of her seeing Watkins - and kept on seeing him after he told her everything, disgusting. She is definitely not the white knight everyone makes her out to be, she was jealous and did it to spite him. I also remember some aussie girl who shagged him being on the forum, can't remember her name but I'm sure he told her something or she saw something - was back when it all came to light. Happy the bleeps dead! Feel so much sadness for the children involved, hope they are in better places now.

I don’t fully buy Joanne’s story either. I don’t think it was about protecting kids - like others said I think she was pissed off she was scorned.

If he did this in 2008 - why on earth are you going back to him? And doing interviews calling him your lover in 2010-2011?
