Adam Johnson's case provoked much discussion on here but will any top club be interested?

"Let’s see if you would be so laid back if he abused your daughter"

Why dont you try reading posts properly instead of diving straight into your usual nastiness.

I am not laid back, just pointing out simple truths and you have no idea on my private life.

And, any chance of an answer to the OP or is just attacking me enough for you?

The guy was trying to get his hand inside her knickers, according to her account. Have you read the context of some of the texts he sent her; "Think we better go in the back next time. It was class. Just wanted to get your jeans off."

[Ken4155]

Yeah, but as you say, youngmaf, Evans was acquitted.

I have read the replies including you dismissing the child abuse

[Baldric]

Rockrose, who is that aimed at ^^^ ?

[ummmm]

Grooming a 15 year old still doesn't make him a paedo. It makes him a disgraceful dirty scumbag but not a paedo.

Whaaa?? Surely it does!? Less than 16.. in my eyes is a child.. Even if she was 16 that's bare dodgy.

Legally speaking it’s to do with the age of the child spath and 15 is above the paedophile age range

[spathiphyllum]

in my eyes anyone over the age of 21 sexually attracted to / grooming/ looking at sexually a person younger than 16 is a certified nonce.

[spathiphyllum]

RockRose do you think that's due to physical development? Because mentally, a 15 year old is blooming young, very young.

[Baldric]

First time we've agreed for ages spath ;o)

[Rockrose]

a child under 13 is presumed to be too young to give informed consent

[jackthehat]

Graham Rix, anyone.....?

[spathiphyllum]

LOL baldric, must be a blue moon tonight



RR but you would consent because you've been groomed.. if you get me? the guys worth at least a million (or was?) so any 15 year old looking at that will be like omg my life is sorted and set up, in reality adam just wanted some hanky panky didn't he, the pervert.

Rockrose:-
The law on sex - Factsheets - FPA

Jump to The age of consent for sex - The age of consent to any form of sexual activity is 16 for both men and women.

[spathiphyllum]

So he's not a pedo but if they went through with sexual intercourse he would be a certified rapist?

[dannyk13]

Spath, yes
