Hmmm.

Completely ruined the bloke's life, used violence and this victim has had 3 heart attacks as a result and will never work again, but the perpetrator gets 3 years, 3 months.

Adam Johnson gets 6 years.

System is nuts.

And the bloke has form, 3 years?

Somebody said something interesting as a point last night.

"As a bloke, imagine you had a 15 year old son, and he slept with one of the Saturdays".

While wrong, it sounds different when you spin it.

No doubt you wouldn't mind if your 14 year old daughter was being groomed by a man in his late 20s.

Fair enough.

nobody said it was banter? strange?

equally suspicion, isnt guilt, and no pursuing usually means it wasnt true

anyways, back to the facts, absolutely staggering sentence taking many other cases into account

No doubt you still think a 14 year old girl is a 'whore' as well.

Havent read this whole thread. He deserved jail time but im shocked that its six years. Especially compares to other crimes. What did Lee Hughes get?

A bloke from around here has just been sent down for 3 years after (being high on drugs) crashing his car (his girlfriend was killed in the crash) and doing a runner from the scene.

Bit weird that so many are looking to defend the sentence of a convicted sex offender who groomed a 14 year old.

Weird.
Nobody is defending it, they are saying there is no consistency. Female teachers have full sex with pupils and get less than half of that?

Totally agree, I don't think anyone is defending the crime, I would have liked it to be longer, however people have been given far lighter sentences for what could be perceived as more serious offences.

Trouble is, showing remorse doesn't mean it is genuine.

Somethings not right their. He was in a position of trust over the girl in the cadets. Had sex with 2 different 15 year olds, got one of them pregnant and gets a slap on the wrist. Hasn't even lost his job!

You'll also more likely find that it was the grooming aspect that got Johnson the longer sentence. However, I'd claim that he is too thick to be able to actually do it on purpose.

I don't get the point of this.

Is it supposed to be saying scumbag Johnson who should have his balls chopped off has been hard done by or something?
