Singer Ian Watkins could be at risk of attack from fellow inmates inside Wakefield prison, the general secretary of the Prison Officers Association said. The ex-Lostprophets frontman was jailed for 35 years for a string of child sex abuse offences.
The 21-year-old woman who allowed Ian Watkins to abuse her baby committed the "greatest betrayal a mother could", a judge said. Known only as "mother A" to protect the identity of her child, the woman was an obsessed fan almost half Watkins' age when she first met the singer in 2008.
They began a sexual relationship and Watkins filmed their sex sessions when she was just 16. Sentencing her to 14 years in prison, the judge said:
"That you were manipulated by Watkins may be obvious, but you were a mother. A mother naturally loves, protects, shields, nurtures and cherishes.
"Your infant would have trusted you implicitly. You totally betrayed that trust. Could there be a greater betrayal?"
Her barrister dispute Watkins' claim that she was equally responsible, saying she had been corrupted by the rockstar. He said:
"He darkened her world with drugs and even injected her with heroin. She sacrificed her own moral compass so she could sustain a relationship with a man she was obsessed with.
"She was a girl doing her A-levels. He was in the limelight and a rock star. She was vulnerable and exploited."
