UTG has learned this morning that a police watchdog has been hired to investigate whether South Wales police moved soon enough in the investigation of Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins. Watkins was arrested back in December for conspiracy to rape a newborn baby as well as four offenses relating to indecent images of children.

Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) representative Tom Davies told force told sources, “Our investigation will determine whether or not South Wales Police failed to take appropriate and timely action.”

“We received a referral from South Wales Police on 25 January 2013 relating to Ian Watkins. Following a thorough assessment I have decided that we will carry out an independent investigation. Our investigation will determine whether or not South Wales Police failed to take appropriate and timely action in relation to information they were in receipt of in advance of Mr Watkins subsequent arrest. We are aware of four forces having provided South Wales Police with information but, as criminal proceedings are active, it would be inappropriate to publish further information at this time.”
