Was he? He abused the silly fan worship of a young girl, but was that abusing a position of trust in legal terms, not just media speak?
Hm ok, I thought that was how he initially had contact with her. Thank you for clearing that up. I think it would still constitute a position of trust, but then I don't know the details of the prosecution's case on that regard.
I think he was more harshly treated as he abused his celebrity status, but in legal terms he wasn't in a position of trust.
What would constitute a position of trust? You don't know the prosecution's case in that regard? Can't you just admit you were talking bollocks? I suggest you google re positions of trust and who and what they cover.
Footballer Adam Johnson refused bid to appeal against child sex offence conviction... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36772586
Probably some other rules to go with. For example in Italy the legal age is 14 but you have to be within 2 years age difference upto the age of 21 I believe.
