WalesOnline can today publish previously unseen pictures of Watkins sent over Skype, as well as extracts from graphic instant messenger chats he sent using one of his online aliases, Sanscommunique – as a sickened mum reveals how he begged to have sex with her 10-year-old daughter.
The woman, who had a sexual relationship with the shamed star spanning several years, also claims the singer asked to have a baby with her so that he could sexually abuse the newborn while her other child watched on
.
“Monster” Watkins, who faces a lengthy jail spell after admitting crimes including the attempted rape of a baby, even pleaded to have a threesome with the woman and her mother during lurid online chats.
The woman, who is not being identified in order to protect her daughter, today reveals:
* how Watkins told her seven-year-old daughter she was “beautiful” and later bragged they would make a “good-looking couple”;
* how the singer, now 36, asked her to help him find “young sluts to abuse” at his gigs;
* how “insane” Watkins claimed to get “filthier” as he experimented more with drugs; and,
* how their relationship came to an end when he offered to DJ at her daughter’s birthday – if he could have sex with the little girl.
Speaking exclusively to WalesOnline, the woman told how the pair first met backstage at an overseas gig in 2004 and exchanged contact details.
Two years later she messaged the rocker asking for tickets to a music festival.
Watkins obliged and after meeting in a hotel room the couple began a sexual relationship which included meetings over several years.
The Lostprophets frontman, who has sold more than 3.5m records, even met the woman’s daughter when he invited her to a gig in 2007.
The woman, in her late 30s, said: “We went to the show and we were backstage. He came out and met her and took some photos and everything was normal and then he later signed a poster addressed to my daughter, describing her as “beautiful”.
She added: “Later he actually saw the photos of him and my daughter and her friend and a few years later said him and my daughter would make a really good-looking couple. She was seven in the photo.”
The woman, who lives abroad, described how Watkins “got weirder and weirder and more dark as the years went by”.
She said: “By 2010 I felt like ‘Oh my God, he is just insane’.”
The pair would meet up regularly and chat online, while the internationally-renowned frontman would invite her to gigs around the world.
“He was always inviting me to his shows not to ‘abuse’ me – that’s one of his favourite words – it was to help him,” she said.
“He wanted me to help him – I think it was because we were about the same age – find young girls at the show.
“He would say: ‘You can find us some young sluts to abuse.’”
The woman added: “I told him: ‘You are using your fame – those little girls love you and you are using your fame to live out your sexual fantasies.’”

Watkins kept in touch with a network of groupies around the
world, according to the woman, who said she personally knew at least
seven others scattered throughout Europe and America.On one occasion he asked her to set him up to have sex with one of her friends in a European country.
The star ordered the Lostprophets fan, who was in her 20s, to come to his hotel room in high heels, have sex on camera and then leave without saying anything.
“He does really have a role in his life for every single girl,” the woman said.
“He would try and convince each girl they were the only one he would talk to, they were the only important one.”
From early 2010 Watkins would talk almost obsessively about drugs and his child abuse fantasies to the women he was meeting for sex, the woman claimed.
“He would talk about what he wanted to do to babies but you never think there’s a fan out there that would say: ‘Here’s my baby’.
“We knew what he wanted to do but it’s an unthinkable act – you don’t think he is going to attempt to rape a baby.”
She added: “He wanted to be evil. He would say he was evil and would say he wanted everyone to know.”
Watkins even suggested to the woman that the couple should have a baby together – so he could sexually abuse the defenceless infant.
“In 2010 he mentioned that he wanted to have a baby because he wanted to raise it to be evil like me and him – apparently I’m evil now too,” she said.
“A year later he said he wanted us to have a baby so he could have his way with the baby and my daughter could watch how it’s done.”
The star’s perverted fantasies were not limited to children, the woman claimed.

“In 2011 Lostprophets went to play a festival in the country where my mum lives and he offered to get me tickets.“We were talking on Skype and he said: ‘You can come and help me abuse young sluts after the show.’”
When she declined, Watkins asked instead: “What about if we hook up – me, you and your mum?”
The woman added: “He got obsessed about it for a few weeks – his little obsession while he was there was me, my mum and him.
“I wouldn’t fly there so he just kept asking me for my mum’s phone number and address – he said he would go there and surprise her.
“He said: ‘She won’t be able to say no to me, no-one says no to me.’
“He mentioned my daughter around the same time – she would have been 10 – and that’s when I was like ‘Oh my God, you need help and we can’t talk ever again. You’ve really crossed the line now by talking about my daughter.’
“I was talking to him on Skype. He wanted me to go and get her from the other room – he was masturbating – so she could see how hot he was and so that she could tell me how much she wanted him.”
In one chilling message, sent on March 4, 2011, the woman innocently asked him to DJ at her daughter’s birthday party.
Watkins replied: “Only if I can **** her.”
When the woman protested, the twisted star posted a winking face and wrote “haha” before telling her: “Show her that pic of me and see what she says. You hate it that she thinks I’m hot.”
Later in the conversation Watkins offered to be the woman’s “slave” and her “toy” – but only if she went to live with him and brought her daughter,
The woman said: “That must have been one of his little games, to get a woman with kids or something.”
Watkins also told her she was “pretty much the only girl I’ve ever fully respected and who has kept my attention and lust”.
In a string of other messages, Watkins sent “really weird” images of what appeared to be himself performing sex acts on young girls.
He also claimed to be part of a pornography company and said he was getting paid to have gay sex and shoot porn films in Los Angeles.
He even asked the woman to fly to LA to join him and told her: “I’ll introduce you to all the porn peeps... We can use and abuse all the groupie sluts I know at your pleasure.”
Another message sent by Watkins read: “The more drugs I do the filthier I am and the younger I get – it’s a curse.”
The woman broke off contact with Watkins following the graphic messages he sent about sleeping with her young daughter.
She said: “When I asked Ian why he was doing what he was doing he said it was because he was bored and wanted to spread his evil.
“I’m not even sure if he was born a paedophile. He said it got boring having 16-to-20 year-olds throwing themselves at him – it was no challenge so he decided to use his fame to play power games and wanted to see how far he could push the boundaries. He just wanted to shock.
The woman added: “He was a cool guy that had good looks, money and fame. He indulged too much in drugs, could have whoever he wanted and he turned into some kind of evil monster.
“He was obsessed with the ‘dark side’ and wanted to go to hell.
“He used his power to push the limits. I guess it was all the drugs – he just went way, way, way too far.”
The woman contacted South Wales Police and passed records of her conversations with the star to investigators following his arrest in December 2012.
“I was so relieved when he was arrested. I thought: ‘Finally,’” she said.
“I thought he was going to get caught one day.
“You can’t be that public about what he was doing and get away with it.”
Watkins’ admission in court that he was a child abuser was “not a surprise at all,” the woman added.
“He is a very sick person, controlling and manipulative,
“I still can’t get over those women not protecting their babies when they knew what he was capable of. That is the most shocking.”
