"This case causes a very disturbing reaction for anyone who has anything to do with it. We accept these matters are very serious," she said. "But by pleading guilty my client averted the need for a most distressing and unpleasant trial for all those concerned, especially a jury.

I feel that the expense of keeping yr nonces separate from general must be looked at in light of budgetary constraints certainly if that leads to a somewhat higher occurrence of such events I'm not for it but these are hard times and the money is surely better spent in local communities or easing the burden on the squeezed middle dont u agree nakh

Joanne Mjadzelics: Ian Watkins' ex cleared over abuse images
Speaking through tears after the not guilty verdicts she said: "I shouldn't have even been here - just for doing the police's job that they couldn't be arsed to do."
Ms Mjadzelics reported Watkins to police and social services in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 to raise the alarm over his child sex crimes.
But a court heard police refused to collect the phone and computer of Mjadzelics after she told them he had sent her indecent images of a "very young girl being raped".

Well I’m loathe to do this – but the answer to this one comes from the philosophy of aesthetics. When someone asks “What does a work of art mean?” the least problematic answer is “Whatever the artist intended it to mean.” That’s why Duchamp’s ‘Fountain’ isn’t just a urinal, and it’s why John Cage’s ‘4’33”’ is a piece of music, rather than a pretentious four-minute exercise in pointlessness.
It follows that if an artist intends something to be part of a piece of art, it becomes part of that piece of art. What’s more, in some cases you’ll find that the personal lives of a band’s members are part of the art in an even more direct way – for example, The Wonder Years took Soupy’s most personal thoughts and anxieties and made it the subject matter of their last three albums.
If something’s not actually part of an artwork, it shouldn’t really colour your opinion of that art. So if an artist didn’t intend their personal life to be part of the music, you shouldn’t really judge the music by their life ‘off record/stage’.
But that’s the problem – what Ian Watkins allegedly did shouldn’t affect what you think of their songs, but it does. So you can’t help but feel sorry for the rest of Lostprophets now they’ve been forced to call it a day because the charges against him dragged the band’s name through the mud.
I routinely find I enjoy the personalities behind my favourite music as much as the music itself. That’s why I love Fat Mike, Tyler, The Creator and Ke$ha. And why shouldn’t I? Maybe a better definition of the meaning of a piece of art would be “Whatever the listener derives from it”.
To hell with all the complicated philosophical implications – that best-describes the meaning I grasp when listening to music, so I’m sticking with it. It also explains why I can’t listen to ‘Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja’ anymore without feeling a shade guilty.
