lost prophets singer accused of child molestation.

The fact that he only got 35 years, especially with all of the documentation the courts had surprises me.

 

I also don't understand how the two mothers received such small sentences as well.

So, will he die by an inmate or hang himself?

As if the situation weren't already fucked up....

I dont think the fact that there was only one on ebay means that people are buying up stock on the shirts.

 

Also, not that I agree with it, but the reason the mothers got less years than him is because he had many more counts against him. As the judge said, the fact that they allowed this to happen is the ultimate betrayal. I also think that the fact that he was a celebrity who used his power over the mothers was factored in. The judge also said that one of the mothers was showing some regret of allowing it to happen. He still shows no remorse for it, so I think she got a little slack because of that.  As a parent, it absolutely breaks my heart that someone volunteered their kids up for this. I cant even begin to fathom how you even entertain the notion of doing that to your own child.

I guess I don't agree on the decisioning for the lesser sentences. Especially given the fact that the mothers did this to their children willingly.

 

I think they should have gotten equal sentencing simple for the fact that they were the primary guardians of these children and they willingly allowed and participated in their abuse.

[sacredheart]

I think they should have gotten worse sentences. He is a sick fuck who rapes kids. They are sick fucks who rape their own kids and let others rape them too.

Watkins got a longer sentence because there were other charges unrelated to the attempted rape of those women's babies. He has child porn and beastiality on his computer, for example.

[ronniegwilliams]

He'll serve ten to fifteen years, and contrary to popular belief, rape doesn't happen as much as you would think within prison walls. However, the dude's career is ruined and he'll spend the remainder of his life as a nobody sex offender, so that's promising

The document Scott linked to said, Watkins will have to serve at least 2/3 of the custodial term. So this would be at least 23 years.
