Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins has been charged with conspiring with a woman to rape a one-year-old child and other crimes, according to Gigwise. Watkins appeared in magistrates' court in Cardiff Bay yesterday (December 20th) where it was revealed that he is facing six charges relating to sexual offences against two young children, reports BBC.
He faces one charge of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child under 13 and four child pornography related charges.
A 24-year-old woman faces the same charges as Watkins and a 20-year-old woman faces all the charges except conspiracy to rape.
