Ian Watkins: I’m Not That Ian Watkins

A man from Stoke called Ian Watkins has pleaded with Stokies to stop giving him abuse after his famous namesake pleaded guilty to numerous child sex offences.

"My life has gone to cock," says the Cobridge native. "Every day I have to deal with a torrent of abuse and hatred. People call me names like Little Timmy Todger Toucher, Paedo Griffin, Pee Wee's Perv House and more. It's madness and it has to stop."

"Yes my name is Ian Watkins," adds Ian. "Yes, I have got convictions for various sex offences of my own and am on the sex offenders list. And yes, I've just started up my own rock band which happens to be called Lastpuppets. But this is no excuse for people's stupidity."
