HMV has removed all Lostprophets’ albums from sale following former frontman Ian Watkins’ trial, in which the now-convicted paedophile admitted to a series of horrifying child sex charges.
In a statement released to NME, the retailer confirmed that it is pulling all of the band’s music from its 140 stores, as well as its website.
Police are now attempting to uncover any more information regarding further crimes committed by Watkins, after the 36-year-old was found guilty of 13 child sex charges, including sexually assaulting a child under the age of 13 and the attempted rape of a baby. He was convicted alongside two women, aged 21 and 24 years-old, who admitted to aiding Watkins in sexually abusing their children.
Bizarrely, it was revealed by the police that the singer’s laptop password was the brazen “Ifuckkids”, which was discovered by crackers before they found “explicit and disturbing” images on his hard drive.
