Ian Watkins Watkins founded Lostprophets in 1997
"He accepts he was a determined and committed *****phile."
Watkins also admitted three counts of sexual assault involving children and six involving taking, making possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
The evidence against the defendant came from computers, laptops and mobile phones. with some recovered from "cloud" storage.
