Lostprophets Paedophile Ian Watkins Faces Brutal Prison Ordeal After Inmate Attack
Paedophile Ian Watkins attacked in prison

Notorious paedophile and former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has become a target for relentless violence behind bars, with prison insiders revealing he's known as 'the most hated man in the UK prison system'.

The 47-year-old convict, currently serving a 29-year sentence at the high-security HMP Wakefield for what a judge described as 'unfathomable' child sex crimes, faces daily threats and has suffered multiple attacks from fellow inmates.

Life Inside for 'The Monster'

Prison sources have disclosed that Watkins spends up to 23 hours each day confined to his cell for his own protection. When he does venture into communal areas, he requires constant supervision from multiple prison officers to prevent violent confrontations.

"Every inmate wants a piece of him," revealed a prison insider. "He's attacked on sight - they queue up to get at him. Watkins is undoubtedly the most hated man in the UK prison system."

A Catalogue of Depravity

Watkins' crimes shocked the nation when he was convicted in 2013 for a series of stomach-churning offences including:

  • Conspiring to rape a baby
  • Sexual assault of a child under 13
  • Creating and possessing indecent images of children
  • Possessing extreme animal pornography

During his trial at Cardiff Crown Court, the judge condemned his actions as "so grave that they require consecutive sentences", resulting in his extensive 29-year term with an additional 6 years on licence.

The Prison That Houses Monsters

HMP Wakefield, known colloquially as 'Monster Mansion', houses some of Britain's most dangerous criminals, including:

  • Serial killer Levi Bellfield
  • Child murderer Roy Whiting
  • Former cop and murderer Brian Blackwell

Despite being surrounded by other dangerous offenders, Watkins remains a prime target due to the nature of his crimes against children.

Prison authorities continue to face challenges in keeping Watkins safe while he serves his sentence, with the former rock star likely to remain in protective isolation for the foreseeable future.
