There's a lot of discussion about the varying ages of consent across different countries and questioning about whether that makes them have different views/standards of morality. I dont think it's that simple though. There probably isn't much difference between how people in the European countries being mentioned view the idea of a 28 year old sexually exploiting a 15 year old.
We all know that most kids start wanting to explore their sexuality before the age of 16, and broadly speaking, most people can understand a 14 year old getting up to stuff with someone of a similar age. We have laws that make it illegal for two 14 year olds to sleep with each other even though I dont think as a society most of us are morally outraged by it. It's how you protect young people who might be sexually active but still young enough to be vulnerable to predatory behaviour that's in question. Obviously it complicates things a little to say its ok at 14 but only if the person is close to your age so for the sake of simplicity there's an argument for having a slightly older cut off at 16. I dont think the morality behind those laws is actually that different, it's more a case of how each country thinks its best to achieve clarity in the law without needlessly criminalising kids but at the same time protecting them.

Why would he be sued when he`s been sacked ? Sunderland have done the only thing they could based on his admission.I bet a pound or two they won`t be looking at suing him.
Well Mutu got sued after Chelsea sacked him.

Supposing a City player who of overseas origin in his mid to late 20s turned out to have a 15yr old bird whom he was shagging royally whilst residing in Germany for example, where he would not be breaking the law......would everyone be demanding he be sacked or sold and demanding public castration?
The fact he played for City and that I personally think anyone who would go near a 15yr old when they are 10 years older really need to have a word with themselves but am not sure I would have the right to condemn that player?

Was he a kiddie fidler ?Well Mutu got sued after Chelsea sacked him.
And in some countries you can have an 8 year old bride.What do you say to that ??
And in some countries you have Nacho Vidal and Keiran Lee who have legalised rape in the form of "Porn" with the help of the same governments and people who are now calling Adam Johnson a "Pedophile".

Thing about whether they will sue him is if he has misled them by pleading innocence prior to his trial, thus them sticking by him and paying him for another 6 months, only for him to plead guilty. In that circumstance they could claim they would have sacked him earlier had they known he was guilty and thus he has defrauded them. I'm not a legal expert but I could see why they would think they had a case.

I dont care about those countries, I think its weird for a 28 year old to have sex with a 15 year old. In addition in Germany I know he would face jail, the lower age there is only when there is a small gap in the age.
This is not my argument and I am not seeking to express a moral judgement either way. But just to point out, your comment above is incorrect. In Gemany a 65 year old can have sex with a 14 year old girl and it is perfectly legal. It only becomes illegal if the girl makes a complaint, AND the man is proved to have exploited a lack of judgement on their part due to their immaturity.
If there is no complaint or no exploitation is proven, there is no offence.
