Lostprophets rocker Ian Watkins was a drug-addicted pedophile who abused hundreds of kids during his years as a rock star, his ex-lover has claimed.

Joanne Majic, 38, said the sicko singer – who this week admitted trying to rape a tiny baby – used his band’s world tours to have sex with underage fans.

She claimed she even went to cops in the star’s native South Wales to complain about his depraved actions.

But police dismissed her fears – and took no action.

The singer pleaded guilty to several child abuse charges, including the attempted rape of a baby.

“I said to the police there’s hundreds of victims out there and you’re never going to find them because the mothers are in on it,” she told The Sun.

Majic’s staggering revelations came at the same time it emerged that Watkins, 36, would tour hospitals and pose for pictures with sick children.

His charity work made him an “ambassador for young people” by the Kidney Wales Foundation in 2008.

He’s since been stripped of the title.

Watkins pleaded guilty on Tuesday to at least 13 child sexual assault offenses – including two counts of trying to rape a baby.

He denied charges that he raped the 11-month-old child, but admitted to the two counts of attempted rape.

The accused pedophile denied at least 24 sexual offenses against children. Some of the crimes detailed in court were too graphic to be published.

The musician also admitted to sexually assaulting at least one child under the age of 13, aiding and abetting a female unnamed co-defendant to sexually assaulting a child under age 13, and conspiring to rape a child under the age of 13, Wales Online reported.

He is now facing years behind bars after admitting to carrying out the harrowing child abuse.

Two women, aged 21 and 24, have also admitted a string of sex offences.
