Lostprophets Singer Facing Child Sex Charges

I already said i'm not making comment on whether it's a good or bad decision, i'm not skirting over it, i'm just not partaking in that part of the discussion because I don't care frankly.

My point is very simple. The kids names will not be remembered. It's nothing to do with who is or isn't a victim (as i've already said), it's to do with whose names are publicised and popularised.

These kids names will not be remembered in exactly the same way Venables mother isn't, because nobody is interested in them or who they are particularly. They might be the victims but there is no focus or attention on them, it's all on Watkins and a bit of peripheral attention on the mothers and that's as far as it goes. Much like Venables mother, she was of no interest, her name wasn't massively publicised and no one will remember it.

As such, making the comparison and suggesting these kids will be remembered in 15 years times with the same sort of recognisability as Venables and Thompson is completely retarded, only Watkins will be.

I'd put money on hardly anyone knowing these kids names in 10 years time but it'd be pretty pointless as I highly doubt we'd still be contact in 10 years time :p

this is the internet age you total fool of COURSE their names will be remembered - regardless or not if anyone cares

such is the power of a greedy press, social media and "big data" - you are living in the 90's and need a serious present (and future) reality check
 
With the names out and the inevitable mob bloodlust which will follow - expertly encouraged by the Mail and other rags - I imagine paediatrician's up and down the country will be double checking their locks tonight :/
 
yeah just watching on the news now, seemed he thought it was all a joke until very recently..

I hope he ends up wearing his ass round his ankles tbh.
 
35 years seems very lenient, unless it's 35 years minimum. In which case, well deserved.
It's actually very high compared to many other crimes.

It's one of the highest I've seen for this kind of offence, the serial nature & lack of remorse most likely he's going to always be a danger to the public - so better him him to be kept locked up indefinitely from the looks of it.
