Ian Watkins on Suicide Watch


Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has been placed on suicide watch while being at Parc Prison in Wales and is now trying to be relocated to a psychiatric hospital.


Watkins has been charged with various crimes, such as sexually assaulting an infant, possession and distribution of indecent images of children, possession of extreme animal pornography and conspiracy to rape a one-year-old child.

In December he was arrested in the UK and it was revealed that Lostprophets singer was charged with a total of 24 crimes.

The singer had reportedly two female co-conspirators who also attended court. While one is denying all charges, the second one has already admitted to sexually touching a child and being involved with the possession and distribution of indecent images of children.

Ian Watkins attorney, Sally O´Neill, is now attempting to get the singer on medication and moving him to a psychiatric hospital – “He has been seen by a clinical psychologist and he should be receiving anti-psychotic medication. He is on suicide watch five times an hour.”

Judge Eleri Rees adjourned the hearing until October 14; meanwhile the three individuals will remain in custody.
