These stories almost always pan out the way this one has - people trying to figure out exactly which shades of grey were in place here, and others who see it entirely in black and white.
Ms. Hopkins adopts her usual bullish approach, which centres round her usual 'My child would know better than to get into a situation like this ...' - which by default paints her as the perfect parent who has made sure of that.
But the truth is, no matter how well we educate our children, there are situations out there which they are utterly unprepared for, and young girls exploring their sexuality are prone to quite a lot of them.
I have said previously when this was debated - young girls do throw themselves at famous young men, but that doesn't mean that famous young men are obliged to catch them!
Are some girls of fifteen streetwise, and know what goes on? Indeed they are, I know, I raised one.
Are some girls of fifteen far more naïve and prone to the sort of hero worship and innocence that has trapped this poor girl? Indeed they are, I know I raised two of them as well.
But - and this is the salient point - at fifteen, dressed go out, they all passed for nineteen, and happily they didn't get themselves into a situation like this - but the situations they could have been in are outside my, or any parents' control, no matter what Ms. Hopkins' lofty pronouncements about her own children and parenting may say.
Johnson is a not a paedophile - but he is a reptile with no brains and no morals, and ... and this is the point ... he has broken the law and been tried accordingly, and will be punished accordingly.
Johnson is the criminal here, not the girl, she is the victim here, not him.
Ms. Hopkins has an audience for her views - a large one, but a volume of agreement does not make any viewpoint the truth - Hitler had a nation behind him, but it doesn't persuade many people that Nazism was a good idea for anyone.
The day I find myself thinking what the majority of Katie Hopkins' hate-bait writing is saying is the say I will stick a fork through my face.
