Paedophile star may pocket €100k royalties

Paedophile rock star Ian Watkins will continue to rake in thousands of pounds in royalties even as he spends years behind bars.

The depraved former Lostprophets lead singer could pocket an estimated £100,000 (€118,520) in royalty cash generated since he was charged last year.

After Watkins is jailed at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday, a continued stream of cash for past work will ensure he remains a wealthy man. His notoriety could even cause a cash generation spike as music sales and internet searches rise.
