Ian Watkins remanded in custody until March
Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has been remanded in custody on child sex charges until March.
The Welsh rocker has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a female under 13 and three counts of possessing, making and distributing indecent images of children. He is also accused of possessing "extreme" animal pornography.
Earlier this month he was ordered to spend Christmas behind bars, and appeared via video link at a hearing at Cardiff Crown Court from Parc Prison in Wales on Monday, where he was remanded until 11 March.
Two women, aged 20 and 24, who are facing similar charges, were also refused bail at the hearing. They cannot be named for legal reasons.

If found guilty i hope he rots in jail from a previous story it was a one year old girl he was planning to r*pe with the help of the females facing charges. Sick, sick person to even think of doing such a vile thing - if true.

Innocent until proven guilty I suppose. If this man is found to have done bad things involving children then he should have the book thrown at him. Peter. Holmfirth.
