Adam Johnson guilty - 6 year sentence

[M18CTID]

That makes it sound like she was 14. She wasn't. She might have been nearer 16 than 15 for all we know. Still legally it's wrong. Morally it's debatable at 15. Would you be just as outraged if he was 32 and she was 16. Is it morally outrageous to have sex with her a day before her 16th birthday but perfectly morally acceptable after midnight the same day.
I think people are getting morality and legality a little confused. Johnson has crossed the red line of the law for which he will pay the price. I would hold back from labeling him a monster who can't be trusted with his own daughter.

Seriously, what have I just read? You're splitting hairs about him saying she was nearly half his age? He was 28, she was 15. That's nearly half his age ffs!

The gut is a fucking idiot - having thrown away a fantastic lifestyle and career.

The fact that the girl involved was below the legal age of consent, and he knew it, just makes him an even more stupid.

And as for the posters who are discussing the correct legal age for consent I am of the opinion that they are just as stupid . The law states that the girl involved is below the age of consent in the UK, so whatever goes elsewhere is absolutely irrelevant . End of !

Some posters arguing just for the sake of it ffs !

Why try and and muddy what is clear water ?

To be fair, the vast majority of us men on this thread have been full of condemnation for what he's done.

I was annoyed anyone would excuse him and also had the Evans thread in mind,sorry if i annoyed any of the other guys in here

He realised what he was like once he'd signed him.
Remember him being hotly tipped for making the World Cup in S Africa but Capello didn't like his attitude....

He never looked good enough from day one and had few positive attributes. Still, Inter Milan's gain etc.

Disgusting clickbait by the MUEN. Leading headline says "former Manchester City player" ... when he has been at Sunderland twice as long than at City.

MEN = biased fuckwits belonging to the equally corrupt Mirror Group = Rag driven propaganda machine .

People saying he ruined his life, imagine this has ruined her life too.

Come on tell the truth

I am. Saturn and Jupiter wouldn't be enough. I'd not take a penny and ensure a paedophile was brought to justice.

Not annoyed me Kaz, there only 2 or 3 defending him in this case, not sure if they are doing it for the sake of it, or they are really defending the actions of a nonce.

10 years ago I found out my 14 year old daughter was with a 22 year old lad.i went to the police who wernt intrested unless I caught them having sex. I said youd be arresting me for murder then pal.unreal the difference a celebrity makes to the outcome

That photo was a fake

What photo. The one i saw was direct from a twitter account the girl looked very much like another in a different pic purported to be the same victim. It maybe a hoax but all i can say is the girl in those pics looked much older than 15. But thats by the by johnson admits her knew her age so that changes everything. He wont take to signing autographs now, given theyll be on the sex offendors register.
