Adam Johnson scandal re-emerges

Page 1 of 2

Much as what he did is wrong and he shouldn't have been daft enough to put himself in that position he does make several valid points.

Six years for that is absolutely ridiculous given sentences people receive for far far more.

The headline makes it sound the exact opposite of what he's said as usual. It's his mistake at the end of the day, he only got himself to blame. But the justice system is flawed when real pedos get much less.

Prisoner: “How long you got, six years int ya?”

Johnson: “Yeah.”

Prisoner: “And you never even f***ed the bird?”

Johnson (laughing): “I didn’t even get my c**k out.”

Prisoner: “It’s not like you f***ing raped her or owt like that?”

Johnson (laughing): “No, I wish I f***ing did for six year.”

Johnson: “I was going to the home games like, you park your car in the car park and she was at my car every game right, waiting for me, just standing there like in all the gear and that… like tight jeans, little shirt, t**s out (makes crude gesture), not like skirts and that.

“Then after the game she was asking for pictures all the time.

“This went on for about six months and the next thing she says, ‘Can you get us a signed shirt?’ and uh… then she added me (on social media).

“I accepted her, got talking to her, I didn’t, I didn’t know, I just thought she was 17, 18.

“Got talking to her for a few weeks and then I met up with her and f***ing kissed her and…”

Prisoner: “Next thing you’re doing a six stretch.”







6 years for that, really crazy.

Johnson pointing out the obvious, well done. Ofc someone as high profile and in public eye as him using his position as underage girl's role model for seeex will get a longer term punishment. Judge said so too, justified why he felt he needed a longer sentence. All the yer das on ja606 feeling sorry for the guy

Don't feel sorry for him at all, regardless of how "unfair" his sentencing is.

And he clearly shows no regrets over what he's done in that video.

Pretty sure he regrets it Meke, he won't want to show it in that environment but his foolish actions(i can't call them criminal) have ruined what would have been a very easy and enjoyable life.

What i am a little confused by(living abroad i missed most of this story) is what the father was doing each time whilst she would loiter around his car at fifteen years old?

I kind of assume she didn't go to games alone.

He just said he wishes he raped her. Why is there sympathy for this guy? He has no remorse.

Given all the evidence the sentence seems very harsh. He may well be an utter tosspot but that doesn't mean he should have got such a ridiculously long sentence.

posted on 21/4/17

Given that for many other serious crimes they give out stupidly short sentences this does seem a bit harsh.


British justice is a shambles.

Also...why are the lords not being investigated for proper pedo allegations?

Exactly.

Ofcourse the source of this is a Murdoch mouthpiece, the sun. A paper that contains about 3% truth in it.

It's probably all made up.

the bloke didnt even get his tackle out with this girl, and got 6 years

and as he said there are guys in there who have facked 12 yr olds on a 13 month stretch

there's no doubt he's been made an example of, and royally facked over by the law

How can you respect the law and the police when stuff like this happens?

It's actually shocking there are people on here excusing what he's done. As Mr C said, the guy clearly shows now remorse or regret in the video since he's sitting there laughing about it. Wonder how differently people on here would react if it was their daughter he was sticking his tongue down their throat.

Johnson has committed a far less serious crime than many people who are serving much shorter sentences - that's the issue here.

And you have to look at the others they caught like Rolf Harris etc...but no lords or politicians. Despite some damning evidence. That's also a huge issue.

The age of consent is a tricky subject IMO. I'm all for there being tiers of "minor-ness" for e.g. u-12, 12-14, 14-16, 16-18 etc.. This is not to condone some forms of paedophilia as more acceptable than others but more to reflect that adolescence is a gradual process and does not magically occur in an instant once you hit 16.

Lots of girls and boys are physically ready to have secs at a much younger age. If it's a question of being mentally ready and being able to consent, then I'd argue 16 years is too young in a lot of cases. You see these 19/20 year-olds getting knocked up on council estates, who are barely literate and have no concept of financial planning, and you're telling me they're mature enough to have secs and handle the consequences? The 16 years threshold is outdated as kids are maturing quicker physically and slower mentally with each passing generation.

My personal opinion? Whether Adam Johnson was legally-wronged or not does not change the fact that he was messing around with someone who was an immature child. Even if he thought she was 17, he took advantage of her naivety and admiration for him as a famous footballer. That's low.

How many years did Lee Hughes serve again for killing someone through drink driving?
