Show notes

The Kirtland Cult were an offshoot of an offshoot that broke away from the Reorganised Church of Latter Day Saints in 1987. Like most cults they were led by a single-minded, self-appointed, narcissistic leader - Jeff Lundgren - who demanded absolute control of his followers; exploiting them psychologically, sexually and financially. Soon after the group moved onto a remote compound in Kirtland, Ohio the stockpiling and the paranoia began - and it would end in the brutal murder of a family of 5.

Episode 81 - Ian Watkins: Rock Star, Paedophile, Nepiophile Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

This week the girls delve into the all too common world of the celebrity paedophile and institutions who turn a blind eye.

Ian Watkins was the lead singer of Welsh rock band Lostprophets. He toured all over the world, playing to sold out stadiums of adoring fans - so in 2012 when he was arrested and charged with 13 counts of child sex offences, including against a child as young as 11 months old, the world was shocked.

This is a particularly troubling case because it of course covers the abuse this depraved man doled out to incredibly young victims, but there are also deeply troubling questions raised about why authorities missed chance after chance to catch Watkins.
