*Update* Ian Watkins has been stabbed to death in Wakefield Prison by two fellow inmates, on Saturday 11th November 2025. He was previously stabbed in 2023, when he was taken hostage for six hours by a group of inmates. Here is our full episode from 2019.--Ian Watkins was the lead singer of Welsh rock band Lostprophets. He toured all over the world, playing to sold out stadiums of adoring fans - so in 2012 when he was arrested and charged with 13 counts of child sex offences, including against a child as young as 11 months old, the world was shocked.This is a particularly troubling case because it of course covers the abuse this depraved man doled out to incredibly young victims, but there are also deeply troubling questions raised about why authorities missed chance after chance to catch Watkins.Exclusive bonus content:<a href="https://wondery.com/shows/redhanded/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wondery</a>&nbsp;- Ad-free & ShortHand<a href="http://patreon.com/redhanded" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a>&nbsp;- Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>Visit&nbsp;our website:<a href="https://redhandedpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a>Sources available on&nbsp;<a href="https://redhandedpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">redhandedpodcast.com</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
