Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for child sex offenses.
The judge told Watkins, “You are a sexual predator. You are dangerous. The public, and in particular young females and children, need protection from you.”
The singer was sentenced to 29 years in prison with an extended license of 6 years, meaning his total sentence will be 35 years. He is to serve two thirds of his sentence before he can be considered for early release.
