This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ian Watkins, the former lead singer with Lostprophets who was jailed for 29 years for child sex offences, has reportedly been stabbed at HMP Wakefield.

A source told the Mirror he had been taken hostage by three other inmates on Saturday morning.

A Prison Service spokesperson said: “Police are investigating an incident which took place on Saturday at HMP Wakefield.

Watkins was jailed for 29 years in December 2013 with a further six years on licence, after admitting a string of sex offences – including the attempted rape of a fan’s baby.

The disgraced singer was arrested following the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on 21 September 2012 when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized.

Analysis of the equipment uncovered Watkins’ depraved behaviour.

i am vehemently disgusted by people who suggest that the victims of violence in prison are deserving of it, but if anybody were to deserve to be stabbed and held hostage it might as well be this truly fucked up person
Obviously not happy to hear about anyone being stabbed but if I had to choose...
Maybe a hot take, it certainly would be on Reddit, but I rather see this pos rot in prison for the rest of his life than have him getting killed by some other pos.
