United Kingdom - Rocker gets 35 years

British rocker Ian Watkins of the band Lostprophets was jailed for 35 years on Wednesday for a string of child sex crimes including the attempted rape of a baby, as police said investigations were also underway in the United States and Germany.

Watkins, 36, who admitted 13 offenses at Cardiff Crown Court in Wales last month, had “plumbed new depths of depravity,” his judge said. The singer, whose band sold millions of albums around the world, plotted the abuse of two children with their own mothers.
