Adam Johnson guilty - 6 year sentence

Ah. I see. Any research that doesn't support "conventional knowledge" is "borne out of a personal agenda" and can be dismissed as "nonsense".

Conventional knowledge as in actual reality? Yes.

Even if you'd studied law at A-level you'd know that wasn't true. Hell, a quick Google would tell you it isn't true. Women are, generally speaking, treated much more leniently than men in the criminal justice system. This is demonstrable fact.

And as per the other poster's subsequent admission, the example to the contrary isn't even credible research by any measurable standards but simply a "briefing paper", and the author had a clear agenda to find a potential inequality against women given that was the very purpose of the paper.

So yeah, nonsense. My assessment was clearly bang on.

Eh ? As it happens, I did study law to A Level. Forgive me, I'm trying to work out what your argument actually is. Are you saying women are treated more leniently, as you say above and as the research behind the briefing paper suggests, or that they are treated less leniently as the alternatively selective statistics suggest ?

Mate, you've completely misunderstood.

The agenda driven briefing paper, harbouring no credible research, suggested the complete opposite was true, that women are treated harsher than men in the criminal justice system. Which, I think it's fair to say, is nonsense.
 
In reality if Johnson behaves himself he will not serve six years but three and then be out on licence. I am not getting into the disparity of sentencing between men and women argument,Johnson got six years and deserved to do so.He knew the girl was fifteen yet carried on grooming her and being a star struck kid she of course fell for it. If anyone can remember being fifteen we all felt really grown up and thought we knew it all but the reality was very different. He had a stunning girlfriend who he had just had a baby with and countless women over the age of consent he could have had affairs with if he wished, but for a reason known only to himself he chose a fifteen year old kid. Since his sentence it has come out that he also had loads of bestiality pictures on his computer so another charge is probably awaiting in the wings.His family have hardly come out of the whole sorry episode with any credit either.I am sorry this cretin ever wore our shirt!
 
Makes you wonder why fckers like him are good at manipulating... TEXT MESSAGE TRANSCIPTS: THE JURY HEARD JOHNSON AND THE TEENAGE GIRL EXCHANGED 834 ONLINE MESSAGES DURING A TWO-MONTH PERIOD
He messaged her on WhatsApp in late December 2014 and asked if she believed it was him.

Girl: Still not 100 per cent sure ha ha

Johnson: You sound a bit unsure lol x

Girl: I don’t know it’s just surreal ha ha

Johnson: Why?

Girl: Like you are my favourite footballer. You could update your Twitter saying Happy New Year and then I’d believe it’s you.

(He then sends the requested Tweet)

Girl: Ok I believe you.

Johnson: Lol

(He agrees to sign her club shirt and they chat about plans for New Year’s Eve)

Johnson: Where are you going out at?

Girl: …I’m not old enough to go out

Johnson: Yeah but you look old enough

Girl: No believe me when I say I’m 15

Johnson: Ages then lol



(Later they chat about the girl being shy and her ability to handle alcohol)

Girl: It seems like I’m the only one who can handle vodka

Johnson: Bet you are not shy with vodka

Girl: No not at all

(Later Johnson talks about their meeting)

Johnson: Thought I would get a proper thank you kiss for the shirt

Girl: Didn’t ask

Johnson: Well I can come back and get one

Girl: Why didn’t you ask us for the thank you kiss?

Johnson: I just didn’t think you would have wanted to

Girl: Wouldn’t have bothered me

Johnson: You are meant to want to kiss someone

Girl: Well I do want to absolutely

Johnson: Well we need to make it happen then

Girl: And we will then



(Later they continue)

Johnson: Am I only getting a kiss?

Girl: It depends on what else you are after

Johnson: Dunno depends on what you are up for. A little bit more than kissing.

(After their encounter)

Johnson: Think we had better go in the back next time

Girl: Yeah yeah

Johnson: That wasn’t convincing

Girl: Sorry my hands are freezing

Johnson: Was worth it though

Girl: Do you think?

Johnson: Do you not?

Girl: Yeah was checking that you did

Johnson: Yeah was class. Just wanted to get your jeans off.





Johnson made two internet searches for ‘legal age of consent’ after his car park meeting with the girl, court told

Adam Johnson made two internet searches about the legal age of consent after engaging in sexual activity with the 15-year-old, the court was told today.

The prosecution allege sexual activity took place between Johnson and the girl in his car and that previous messages sent between the two prove the then 27-year-old knew she was under the age of 16 before the incident.

A court heard that during one exchange, the defendant sent the girl a message which asked if she was in the last year of school, to which she replied she was in Year 10.Makes
 
Just reading that transcript makes me wish he's getting a daily raping in whichever prison he is banged up in. How anyone can defend him is beating a joke. That there is clear actions of a predator, sick **** and all round dangerous bastard.

Women are generally treated more leniently as any 15 yr old bloke getting 'raped' by a fit older bird is fucking lucky. The courts are generally less likely to impose a custodial sentence on a lady as they are likely to lezz off with each other all the time like in cell block h. Hardly a punishment, especially if they are both fit like in porn.
