Lostprophets singer Watkins applies for permission to appeal

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014 ... ies-appeal


	Quote: After sexually touching a groupie's 11-month-old baby, Watkins tried to have penetrative sex with the child. He also encouraged a second fan to abuse her child during a webcam chat and secretly stashed videos of child abuse, some of which he had made himself.

Yeah, good luck with that one...

I doubt that he will get much support with that.

Re: Lostprophets singer Watkins applies for permission to appeal

I'm curious as to what basis he is trying to appeal with.
He confessed to what he did, was a corrupting influence on at least 2 other people and, as far as I remember, was thoroughly unrepentant about what he'd done.

If anything his sentence, in the view of the public at least, wasn't long enough. If it wasn't the absolute maximum that could have been dished out at the time then any appeal to could backfire anyway (and I doubt there would be that many people who would be sad if it did).

+1 I do hope that it backfires and his sentence is increased to the maximum possible.
