arrogant, rich, untouchable, can have anything that he wants. More money than sense. Isn't that a typical modern day football player. He will get his comeuppance in prison....and I bet he will think twice about picking up the soap from the shower floor. Maybe this ex football player would like to discuss this with the father of the child he assaulted.
Do you really think anything will happen to him in pen ? Them aye are long gone , he will be on a nince wing and probably open Nick within a year . Pick up the soap .....
After what will be a lengthy prison sentence to rightly punish him; I wonder what the plan will be for rehabilitation.
I've not followed the story closely but he didn't assault her did he? Whether we like it or not whatever physical acts performed were consensual, albeit following the online grooming, which is probably the most heinous part of the affair. I wonder how many 15 year olds would actually identify as a child, actually I don't as I know none would.
The law states that an underage child cannot legally give consent. Therefore any sexual contact he instigated is an assault. You don't have to be violent to sexually assault a child.
That's precisely the problem these days a 15 year old girl can look 20, it really is difficult to tell. But like I said earlier if he knew her age he shouldn't have done what he did
I don't think that option is available in the UK. Serious point though. How do you rehabilitate a sex offender to guarantee that re-offending does not take place.
Providing the other party is a willing participant it can't be deemed an assault. At 15 you may not legally be able to give consent but that doesn't prevent you participating voluntarily, it should however have stopped him. What Johnson did was absolutely wrong and he deserves a fitting punishment. Personally I stick by the fact that no 15 year old would consider themself a child, no matter what the law says. It's such a murky subject though.
Willing participant or not, the law stands. He groomed her through exploiting his fame, giving her gifts, and getting her to a point where the sexual activity took place. He has been found guilty of sexual assault on a child. It doesn't matter whether the girl considers herself an adult or a child, the law is the law and Johnson knowingly broke it.
He had it all and threw it away. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Footballer Adam Johnson sent a 15-year-old girl a seedy message about taking her jeans off 30 seconds after receiving a picture of his new baby - a court heard.

Stacey Flounders, mother of Johnson’s 13-month old daughter Ayla Sofia, said she wanted a family with the disgraced footballer but could not live with the reality of his crimes. She accompanied Johnson to Bradford Crown Court through most of the trial but it was revealed halfway through that they had split. please log in to view this image Stacey Flounders, pictured with ex Adam Johnson outside Bradford Crown Court before his child sex trial please log in to view this image Johnson is led away from court by a friend last night. His father Dave, who has attended every day of the trial, is seen in the background holding onto a television news reporter According to the Daily Mirror, Miss Flounders told friends she went to the trial to ‘find answers’ but added ‘the truth broke my heart’. Today Johnson was preparing for time behind bars after the trial ended this week and he was convicted of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. Judge Jonathan Rose left the disgraced footballer in little doubt about the punishment that awaits him when he returns to court in two weeks' time to be sentenced at Bradford Crown Court. The judge told him: 'You must understand that when you return here at the end of March you will receive a substantial prison sentence.'

He will also be sentenced for grooming and kissing the girl Miss Flounders showed no emotion as the verdicts were returned after the jury spent more than nine hours deliberating. Previously she gave evidence to the court and insisted she would 'remain friends' with her ex. She wiped away tears as she described how the 28-year-old had told her 'everything' about kissing a 15-year-old girl when he returned home after being questioned by police. Asked if he talked about other things during their heart-to-heart, she said: 'The other women that he cheated on me with.' Miss Flounders was then asked by Orlando Pownall QC, defending, if the sportsman named the women. She replied: 'Just one. He wouldn't tell me the other names.' When asked how many there were, she said: 'Quite a few.' Miss Flounders told the jury she had initially stuck by Johnson after his arrest because he was 'honest' with her and she knew he was 'telling the truth'. But, when asked about the future of their relationship, she said: 'We're just going to remain friends.' In two further confirmations of their split, Miss Flounders dramatically admitted to the jury that she saw no future in their relationship. Johnson's denial of the charge meant the young victim was put through two gruelling days of cross-examination last month, during which she regularly broke down in tears. In a emotional statement released after the verdicts, Johnson's young victim said the build-up to the trial has been 'the hardest year of my life'. She said: 'I've had to face so much abuse after he claimed his innocence. I was made out to be a liar, if anything, I held things back because I didn't want all of this to come out. 'What happened in his car has turned my life upside down. I have lost all of my confidence. My school work has suffered.
