For every single case brought before any court on any day in any country, there are superficially comparable cases that will have attracted a greater or lesser sentence.
The judgement is down to the judge, based on his or her interpretation of the individual facts of the case, and including sentencing guidelines.
What we think about that really doesn't matter - it is the way they law works, and will continue to work.

It is the way the law works and that must be acceptedbut it does go to show that judges are not objective robots and in this case, as backed up by some very emotive posters on this thread, that this judge also viewed this case with particular disgust.
Adam Johnson was 100% wrong and yes very stupid but 6 years is harsh IMO.

Do you not think though that the reason he got 6 years is because he knew her age and carried on regardless and because in his 'job' he had access to lots of 'youngsters' and that the judge was sending a message!
In my mind he was in a position of trust - someone mentioned that instead of jail he should be made to coach a load of children - I would not trust him near a child in all honesty!

I believe that the sentencing of criminals is deigned to send a deterrent message to others minded to commit a similar crime.
Whether the huge number of over-paid immature predatory young sportsmen out there who behave in this abhorrent fashion with impunity will make the connection between their base urges and arrogant use of strangers, and the offenses and punishment here is extremely unlikely, but that is never a reason not to try and educate them.

My point was that this judge handed out one sentence, albeit a message maybe, another may have given a different sentence so it's not a science, it's based on subjective influences. If AB did a poll on how many years he should get there would be probably a normal distribution with a mean of about 3 years, that's just a guess.
