    She's not blameless. 15 year olds in this day and age know a lot. I believe they know better than to meet up with a stranger in his Range Rover down a dark ally. She wouldn't have done t if he wasn't a celebrity.

    The adult should know better than to even ask to meet a youngster. Only him to blame. It is absolutely disgraceful to take advantage of a young fan.

    Not denying that, but she's also a very silly girl. She put herself in a situation and allowed it to unfold.

    She may or may not be as pure as the driven snow, but that is completely irrelevant here. The age of consent is 16, Johnson knew that as had looked it up on his iPhone. Once he knew her age he had no excuse to carry on pursuing her.

    Why did Reeva Steenkamp date a man who owned a gun? How irresponsible of her to get in that situation

    It's still not her fault she was nieve. It isn't her fault that her idol took advantage of her being nieve. If you are to blame anything for her being this way it's the education system.

    She was naive. She idolised him. She's a teenage girl - she would have had a massive crush on him. He took advantage of this and knew full well she was 15. She can't bear any of the blame.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    Huge difference in the two cases, but nice try!

    He's the criminal here I'm not denying that. But if she was 16 and all this took place, Johnson would come up smelling of roses and she would just be a star struck slut.

    Irrelevant and kind of distasteful to compare the two. She was murdered in her home.

    A few posts back I put the majority of blame on 'celebrity culture'.

    She's the victim and AJ is a nonce none of this can be argued. She met up with him before anything happened. She went back to see him again with an idea of what he wanted from her. She said herself she's annoyed at what she's done. If i was her father I'd be disappointed. She can't take blame for Johnson being a criminal, but she can't certainly take blame for putting herself in this situation. "Don't get in strangers cars" is like, the first thing you teach your kids.

    Having probably had zero experience, I doubt she believed it would unfold like that, though. If he was her hero, she would definitely have had a more romantic image of him than is realistic. Almost certainly would have afforded him the benefit of the doubt in any of the dodgy things he was saying.

    Am I the only one who, all things considered, is uncomfortable with this way of trial by Internet?

    I have voiced my opinion / liked a post etc, just a general question.

    I'm guessing the six packs on here come with ringpulls. :)

    What we say doesn't affect the trial outcome. Now the internet exists you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
