Off Topic Adam Johnson gets six years

Well deserved IMO and could / should have been more.

 

Good,they should put him in a cell with Charlie Bronson !

 

Nonce case got what he deserves... No excuses

 

6 phucking years!!!! He'll do 3 at a push. Phucking joke. Lock the KUNT up and throw away the key.

 

Good & deserved, no time for these sort of scum bags & had england caps taken away.

 

I believe the offences he has been convicted of only allow for a 10% reduction and good behaviour isn't assessed, so it should be at least 5 1/2 years

 

6, 51/2, still not enough.

 

To play devil's advocate and taking the emotion out of things, why should he have got more? Seems very much in proportion or harsher than similar offences in the past. Six years is a bloody long time.

 

Harsh imo. should he of known better, yes. Has he done wrong, yes. But to label hIm a peado/nonce , a term I think applies to kiddie fiddlers is a bit ott. I think he's been made an example of because of who he is. Real peados get a lot less for a lot worse.

 

Agreed but we did all this in the last thread. As with so many issues on here, both footballing and non footballing, the views held are often diametrically opposite and deeply entrenched. No one changes their mind!

 

he knew what he was doing, she was just a child. He earnt another 3 mill whilst lying to his employer before changing his plea at last minute thinking he would get away with it. Wonder how the innocent child in all this feels. Johnson should have known better. Wonder how he would feel if his offspring suffers the same thing his victim got. 6 years for me is not long enough.

 

Again, bringing in irrelevant factors because it's an emotive case.

 

Agree. 6 years for going with a 15 year old sounds very harsh.

 

And if it was any of our 15 year old daughter's he went with?

 

The court wouldn't care any more or less.

 

I mean that's why some emotions on here high!

 

No,but you would if it was your daughter !

 

Yes, obviously, but it's completely irrelevant when considering what a fair punishment is for the crime.

 

Watford - we may not agree with my earlier comment - however, the victim and the impact of these events on her life appears to have been forgotten in all this. Johnson got off lightly, although considering what sentences Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall received it would appear to be a "normal custodial sentence" whether I agree with it or not.

 

And it if had been my daughter his football career would have been over before it got to court
