Lostprophets’ paedo Ian Watkins wrote ‘can you handle me, minx?’ and begged for explicit pictures in sick love letters to mum of girl, 6
PAEDO rocker Ian Watkins begged a young mum for raunchy pictures from his prison cell in a string of twisted love letters, The Sun Online can reveal today.
The disgraced singer – who is serving a 29-year jail term for sex offences including the attempted rape of a baby – has an army of besotted fans writing to him at HMP Wakefield.
Last week, a court heard the 42-year-old receives “hundreds and hundreds of pages of letters” behind bars, mainly from females.
In 2017, one fan – a 21-year-old mum – had her two-year-old daughter taken into care after exchanging letters with the fiend and wearing an engagement ring at his request.
Now, letters revealed to The Sun Online reveal how the predator begged another mum in her 30s to send X-rated photos and search for porn pictures of him online.
Watkins, originally from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, was banned from contacting the woman by prison staff and social services when it emerged she had a six-year-old daughter.
She was told by prison bosses the sicko poses “a serious threat towards your daughter’s safety and your own wellbeing”.
SEEDY LETTERS PLEADED FOR PICS
In a series of sleazy messages, the pervert begged the woman for pictures and repeatedly told her he would send a secretive ‘gold letter’ once she had his trust.
The young mum sent Watkins an e-mail behind bars and was later bombarded with messages begging her for pictures.
Watkins referred to the mum as ‘Minx’, ‘Pretty One’ and ‘Princess’ in various letters – signing off as ‘The King of Dancers’, ‘Trouble’ and ‘The Boy Wonder’.
In one early letter Watkins said: “The next things I want to get from you are your phone number and lots of hot pics. Think you can handle that? I guess we will see! Clock’s ticking…”
In a later message, he wrote: “I think you should send me… pics. After all the drama you’ve caused it’s the least you can do.”
Another said: “I think it would be much easier for me to forget/overlook your r*****ed/douchebaggy behaviour if I had more pictures of you to look at.”
Watkins boasted about working as a prostitute in London through escort website AdultWork before he was caged.
The disgraced star ran a profile under the name “f***nastyf***you” and posted pictures of himself having sex with women and men.
In one letter, he wrote: “My AW (AdultWork) location was London there was always way more work there and way more fun. If you still can’t find it then a lot of pics from it are still online in other places too.
“Go find em. I wanna know what you think and if you like them.”
In another message, he said: “We could have had a joint AdultWork profile. Full of pics and video of us being very bad. Hehe.”
The next things I want to get from you are your phone number and lots of hot pics. Think you can handle that?
Letter from Ian Watkins
He later wrote: “When are you planning on taking pics and vids for your profile? You’d better send me a lot of those as well… I’d make those pics and vids even hotter.”
The predator appeared to lose his temper when she failed to send her phone number, writing: “Am I supposed to guess what it is? Is there someone I can ask who knows it? Do you even read my letters when you get them? Because you don’t seem to be paying attention to what I’m asking you.”
In another letter he said: “This might come across as slightly demanding I know, but after 3 months of… banging my head against the wall I think I’ve earned the right to assert some dominance into proceedings and get us back on track” before asking for pictures.
Referring to a ‘Gold letter’ he planned to send, he wrote: “I still have the ‘Gold’ letter btw. Should I just bin it or did you still want it at some point? To be fair, I don’t think you’re ready for that type of knowledge just yet.
“If you’ve decided to stop f***** around and bring your ensnaring A-game from now on. You might convince me.”
In another, he said: “I still have the other letter that I wrote to you but didn’t send it. If you want me to, I’ll send it. But I guess it really depends on what you want from this… and if you can handle it…”
“Until I know what you’re gonna [sic] do and what’s going on with us I can’t send the ‘other’ letter either. Tbf I have no idea if you could even handle it, or if you’d even be into it. It will prolly [sic] just freak you out. LOL.”
WATKINS BANNED FROM CONTACTING YOUNG MUM
The mum, who has asked to remain anonymous, was told she would be blocked from contacting Watkins by the Ministry of Justice in 2017 following a meeting with social services.
A letter from the MoJ stated: “Contact between yourself and Ian Watkins will cease immediately.
“The reason for this decision is that we believe that there is potentially a serious threat towards your daughter’s safety and your own wellbeing.
“Ian Watkins is (a) prisoner who is subject to management under the Public Protection Manual… your contact with him must be prevented as it is not in the best interest of your daughter, yourself or Ian Watkins as it may undermine his rehabilitation.”
WOMAN STILL SUPPORTS PAEDO ROCKER
The mum-of-one had a previous sexual encounter shortly after Watkins found fame as frontman of Welsh rock band Lostprophets.
She first messaged Hopkins through the Email a Prisoner scheme before contact was stopped around six months later. Despite his evil crimes, she wants to support the paedo.
She said: “He’s a very sick man and I don’t think he’s in the right place, he needs to be in a proper hospital.
“I didn’t think his messages were inappropriate. I think he’s a bit of a flirt and it was just flirty stuff which went both ways, it was harmless.
“Someone reported me to the police and the social services and that was the end of our contact.
“I can understand why. I didn’t feel there was a threat personally but I can see why they would think that and why they have to be careful.
“I don’t condone what he did, no-one could. But he was a sex addict and a drug addict and clearly suffering from delusions. He wasn’t in his right mind.
“I know he’s had a lot of fans writing to him but a lot of them have just been trying to exploit him.
“Knowing him and people who knew him before, his crimes aren’t the real him. I don’t think he’s evil, he’s someone who needs help.”

Watkins was convicted at Leeds Crown Court last week of possessing a mobile phone in his call after being rumbled when he texted an ex-girlfriend, who reported him to police.
He was jailed for an extra 10 months after being found with a mobile phone up his bum inside high-security Wakefield Prison.
Watkins told the hearing he keeps letters in his cell from female fans describing their sexual fantasies.
