[B]The lead singer of Welsh rock band Lostprophets has been charged with conspiracy to rape a one-year-old girl.[/B]
Ian Watkins, 35, of Pontypridd, appeared before Cardiff magistrates facing six charges relating to sexual offences against two young children.
He faces a charge of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child under 13 and four offences relating to possession and distribution of indecent images of children.
He was remanded in custody.
The court heard that he had not admitted any of the offences, which date from May to December this year.
A 24-year-old woman has been charged with the same offences as Mr Watkins, while a 20-year-old woman is charged with five of the same offences but not conspiracy to rape.
Bail applications by all three were refused and they are due to appear before Cardiff Crown Court on 31 December.

The fuck
Please let this turn out to be not true because that is fucking terrifying.
This is unbelievable. I really hope he turns out to be innocent, I'll never be able to listen to Lostprophets the same way if it's true.
Even if he does turn out to be innocent, his career is over and they will not recover from it, this sucks.
He's also standing accused of possession of child/animal porn. I've never seen someone get accused of possession and end up being innocent. It's pretty safe to say that this guy is dodgy as hell. Of course it's not proven and all speculation but I reckon it's true.
looks like they'll be getting some lost profits on their albums
I hope it's not true, so many people being accused of being pedos this year after Jimmy Saville
Interesting, another source I read mentioned he had animal porn too, yet the BBC doesn't note that.
Take it lightly..

"He also stands accused of two incidents of conspiring to engage in sexual touching with two young children; possessing, making and distributing indecent images; and possessing “extreme” animal pornography."

Who to believe?
He was charged pretty much as soon as he was arrested. Seems pretty guilty to me.
I feel this video is somewhat relevent

BBC will only say what the court has told them or what they know is fact, unless it's a quote. Other news sites will post rumours.
Huge shame, I've never grown tired of listening to Lostprophets. Strange thing is, Ian Watkins really doesn't come across as the type you'd normally associate with this kind of behavior.
I used to like the Lostprophets when I was younger
Please don't let this be true
