If found guilty he can look forward to a good few years inside
I hope.

I've just said that some countries make allowances for small age differences even if they have a lower age of consent. So a 17 or 18 year old having sex with a 15 year old will be allowed. But a 28 year old won't.
Either way, I'll repeat - it's downright fucking weird for a 28 year old man to hit upon a 15 or 16 year old even if he wasn't breaking the law. Anyone who thinks that's normal needs to have a word with themselves.
What is morally outrageous today becomes totally normal and acceptable tomorrow. There was a time when being gay was not only illegal it was considered morally outrageous. in fact the safety of gay people was put in jeopardy by people who thought that it was their business to dictate the standards of morality. Fast forward to today and homosexuality is not only legal but gay people have the right to marry each other. So how is it that an act that was considered immoral to the point of violent and legal persecution can become morally acceptable since it's legalisation. How is it also that sex outside marriage once considered morally outrageous is now morally acceptable and has indeed become the norm. It was considered immoral in certain parts of the world for a black man to consort with a white woman that also changed. I could go on. Morality is a fluid concept that is informed by the zeitgeist of the age.The truth is that most people are sheep, who have no opinion forming capabilities of their own and are open to manipulation and moulding and rely on others of stronger mentalities to form their opinions for them and generally like to be seen to be following the crowd by regurgitating what they think they are supposed to say. Hence there is no moral compass only a desire to be part of the group. I would guarantee you that if the age of consent was lowered to 15 it would not be very long before it became perfectly morally acceptable, quite apart from legally, for older men to be having sex with 15 year olds.I've just said that some countries make allowances for small age differences even if they have a lower age of consent.

Nice to see Quinten Crisp gets a near mention .What is morally outrageous today becomes totally normal and acceptable tomorrow.

Legally Johnson has committed a crime but that could change with time. Morally it is open to debate and that will remain so until the opinion formers want us to think differently then it will become perfectly acceptable.
By the time I reached a near fumble I`d suffered from the "wet dream" scenario.Totally off topic, and nothing whatsoever to do with this AJ case but:-
I expect many on here (male and female) used to have a "kiss and a cuddle/fumble" with their fourteen or fifteen year old girlfriends/boyfriends, when they were sixteen or seventeen......
Quite legal in all these European countries.I repeat, do you think its alright for a 28 year old to groom and want to have sex with a 15 year old?
