Bob Geldof's daughter could face a criminal probe after she named two women who allowed their babies to be abused by rock star Ian Watkins.

Peaches Geldof posted the names of two women involved in the case on social media after reportedly reading them on a US-based website, which later removed the details, the Mirror reported.

The 36-year-old 'Lostprophets' singer was termed as a "determined and committed pedophile" after he pleaded guilty to a string of sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby.

However, publishing details about sex offence victims that can lead to their identification is a criminal offence as they have automatic lifetime anonymity.
