Is the sentence date at the end of this week?
In no way a defence of him, but it winds me up far more than it should that female teachers are always in the news for having groomed and had sex with underage students and yet they get given suspended sentences.
Whats the difference. Its Adult and Child! It Needs consistency!
Just reading a local paper, 22 year old convicted of 2 counts of having sex with a 13 year old, while previously being convicted of 2 offences of indecently exposing himself to a woman, jailed for 2 years and 10 months. So using that as a benchmark,I think 6 years might be a tad excessive for touching or kissing a 15 year old.
No he should have a heavier tariff than what Joe Public would get, not only has be abused his position in society from being a (famous) footballer he also like Coppers, Civil Servants, MP's have to be seen as an example. I saw a Policeman a few weeks ago had 'played with his Mortgage' and was sacked, a Tesco worker wouldn't have had his work affected at all.I think he's an obnoxious twat who deserves to be punished. But he doesn't deserve to be treated differently from any other person simply because he's a footballer. Any sentence that appears to be based on his profession rather than his crime is bound to be appealed.

you think one sex offender should get a lesser sentence just because another one did ? How very oddJust reading a local paper, 22 year old convicted of 2 counts of having sex with a 13 year old, while previously being convicted of 2 offences of indecently exposing himself to a woman, jailed for 2 years and 10 months.

So it will be covered up then?No he should have a heavier tariff than what Joe Public would get, not only has be abused his position in society from being a (famous) footballer he also like Coppers, Civil Servants, MP's have to be seen as an example.
