    I absolutely support torture and/or the death penalty in cases like this.

    He's not a man, he's a fucking monster. Has to take the cake for most nastiest piece of work I've ever read about. How on earth could someone become that way????

    It's not as straightforward as 35 years unfortunately:

    http://themusic.com.au/news/all/2013/12/19/disgraced-lostprophets-frontman-receives-35-year-sentence/

    He's been given a 29 year sentence with six years on licence and will be eligible parole after serving two thirds of his sentence. I hope they are 29 very painful years.

    The link above also says that he's still eligible to receive royalties as his offences don't relate to his music. I can't imagine anyone buying his music now (I deleted fakesoundofprogress from my laptop out of disgust) but their songs are played during the news coverage.

    I hope anyone who's been a victim of his actions has the courage to come forward now. The BBC news report stated that he had 29 TERABYTES of data on his computer. This is beyond fucked up.

    Its likely he'll be free in 20 years and then spend the last 15 on licence, but still 20 years is a long time and he will be coming out an old man, and rightly so.

    The really sickening thing is he was quoted as saying he 'didn't know what all the fuss was about, and he was till LOLz about it all'.....WTF

    I give it a couple of a months before we hear that he has been utterly fucked up beyond all recognition in prison... at least I hope so. I think what is coming to him is going to be brutal beyond words. I'm sure he'll take the cowards way out at some point in the next few years.

    British jails are nowhere near as dangerous as US jails in this respect.

    I cant take a direct comparison on a US prison as I have never been in one but I know for a fact that a certain Sex Offenders wing in a cat A prison in the UK is no where I would EVER like to be near again.

    but then again it shouldn't be good or fun. it makes me sick.

    Too bad this didnt happen in a country where they just take you outside and execute you. He doesnt deserve to breathe oxygen. The fact that he can get out is sickening. Cases like this should be the death penalty. You cant exist with other humans.

    The fact that he will be able to live in the free world again is so fucked up that I don't even know what to say. Fucking disgusting.

    From the BBC:

    "The women, who like Watkins had admitted child abuse offences at a hearing in November, were given 14 and 17 years in jail respectively."
