0

British musician Ian Watkins received a 29 year prison sentence Wednesday.

The 36-year-old former lead singer for the rock band Lostprophets was jailed on 13 charges including the attempted rape of an infant, molestation of a 1-year-old, and producing child pornography.

British judge John Royce says, “Those who have appeared in these courts over many years see a large number of horrific cases…this case, however, breaks new ground.”

Police are continuing their investigation into whether there are other victims out there.  Meanwhile, Watkins will be made to serve at least two-thirds of his sentence.

Lostprophets has announced their break-up in light of Watkins arrest.
