3. One of the most heinous examples on this list is Ian Watkins, the lead singer for the alternative rock group Lost Prophets, which was active in the 2000s. In the late 2000s, police became aware of allegations of sexual abuse of children, but Watkins was ultimately not arrested until 2012, though this was due to drug-related suspicions. However, once his home and belongings were searched, the police quickly pivoted to an investigation of child sex abuse. He was ultimately hit with 24 separate sex offense-related charges, including attempting to rape a fan’s baby, sexual contact with a one-year-old, and charges related to his filming and possession of child sex abuse. He was ultimately sentenced to 29 years in prison, where he has been ever since.
