Mostly otm rage, a few despairing attacks on British penal policy. Nothing that really feels disproportionate. Watkins has surely claimed Worst Human Of 2013

if theres a worse human than he is i dont wanna know

don't think the cafc end of season awards are important enough that he will get day release clearance

i was on my way and Tom beat me to it
tbh the thought of likely violent outcomes for Watkins just makes me feel sadder still. i understand people's need to vent in these circumstances, but this sickness doesn't need a ceremonial sacrifice to underlie it. let him live with the life he's made for myself and let him confront it every day.

underline it, i meant
imagine being one of those groupies he filmed. more than punishment for having terrible taste.
― kinder, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:10 (ten years ago) link
aiui those groupies were providing the guy with access to their infants? or were there other groupies involved? i don't really want to know tbh, wasn't reading the details too closely
― Windsor Davies, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:14 (ten years ago) link
he shagged some 16-year-old girls, assume no infants involved at that point. but who tf knows.
― kinder, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:17 (ten years ago) link
there were underage groupies (16 yr olds) and then there were these first round elimination mother of the year candidates discussed in the trial.

idk he seems to have been carrying on a fairly typical provincial ephebo rockstar teensex lifestyle at the same time as he was being a depraved psychopath
― A Skanger Barkley (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:18 (ten years ago) link
(16 isn't underage in Britain) (Can't believe I'm making that point on this thread)
― kinder, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:20 (ten years ago) link
these first round elimination mother of the year candidates
thank you for this

I find it hard to believe the other guys in his band had no inkling about what was going on tbh
― subaltern 8 (Michael B), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 20:21 (ten years ago) link
I'd hazard a guess that they knew about the usual teenage groupie fucking but probably not about the baby etc.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 20:26 (ten years ago) link
As lex posted above of the person who tweeted about hearing rumors of it since she was a teenager, if there were rumors, then the band really probably knew.
― Murgatroid, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 20:32 (ten years ago) link
more likely they knew the teenage groupie rumours

god that whodatedwho thing is one of the most depressing things i ever read on the internet. there are posts from years ago on there accusing him of similar things.

yeah one wonders if the police or social services were entirely unaware of this until the end of last year

oh no this is just beyond words
god i wish i hadn't been curious as to why this thread had been bumped a lot for a couple days

M@tt we thought we were prepared for it until read the details and THIS still sticks in my mind
Some of the evidence was too extreme and distressing to report.

guards can be bribed
― sarahell, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 21:25 (ten years ago) link
reminds me of the Ariel Castro story in its total depravity and cruelty. Also the worst thing abt that result was Castro killing himself just a couple months in. Dudes like that deserve to rot. Also it's not a good look to use child molestation as an excuse for drive-by zings.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 21:29 (ten years ago) link
Guards don't need bribing tbh, don't wanna impeach the integrity of the members of Her Madge's prison service, but turning a blond eye to attacks on vulnerable inmates isn't unheard of. It isn't even particularly uncommon
― Windsor Davies, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 21:33 (ten years ago) link
there probably would be significant competition to be the guy that does him in

Tabloid headlines have a certain vocab,probably more strongly worded in the body of the text,ie: the words sick,monster,beast,wicked etc. will be used.
a genuinely horrific case.
