Should He Now Be Able To Resume His Football Career?

[agchristie]

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

What a nonce. In my opinion, if you're engaging in any kind of (sexually) intimate activity with someone who is not of an age to consent.. Then you're a paedophile. If the law see's that differently fair play but i'm going to stick to my opinion.

Spath, which you are entitled to do however wrong you may be,

[spathiphyllum]

That's OK looking at the data technically i am wrong because he's not classed as a pedophile, but i mean.. He can stay away from my teenage daughter.

Rockrose:-
The law on sex - Factsheets - FPA
https://www.fpa.org.uk/factsheets/law-on-sex
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.

Danny
I am sure she knew that pertaining to USI. She was a Law Enforcement Officer once upon a time.

Retro, maybe she was thinking about the normal age under which paedophilia is considered.

[ummmm]

Spath - paedophiles are attracted to prepubescent children. You know, little kids that are yet to hit puberty. Johnson was clearly attracted to a girl who probably resembles a woman. Well, she must have done as she was getting into clubs...

Not condoning him in any way, I think it's sick, but using the word paedo so easily takes away from the real victims of paedophilia. She was a victim of underage sex by a man who groomed her. There is a difference!!

Ken: //The guy was trying to get his hand inside her knickers, //

he did rather more than that Ken - read the sentencing statement from the time.

No fans of any football club would want him anywhere near their ground.

It's not even as if there is a shortage of footballers.

[dannyk13]

Talbot, maybe not in the Premier League,m but below that?

What did Jack mean at 14:30?

Was Graham Rix allowed to resume his football career?

[Deskdiary]

Graham Rix was a coach.

He had consensual intercourse with a 15 year old who told him she was 18 and voluntarily went to his hotel room.

[spathiphyllum]

Oh, after a google i thought it was a racial thing.. but how odd that is such a case you could liken to this one

[spathiphyllum]

did it end his footie career?

[EDDIE51]

I very much dought any club will want him !

[hc4361]

Why has Bill Wyman never been prosecuted for grooming 13 year old Mandy Smith when he was 47 and admitted having sex with her when she was 14?

He should have been.

[spathiphyllum]

Seems adam knew her age? Did he not?

[hc4361]

Adam did know her age from the outset.

[hereIam]

No, I think he's vile and I hope no Club will take him on. I remember at the time of his trial that bestiality sites were found on his computer, that's enough for me to hate someone, apart from what he did to the young girl. Out shopping today, I noticed the headline in a newspaper that he will not be allowed to spend time with his daughter without supervision - good.

I would hope the fans of MK Don's have the same morals as Manchester City fans, Danny.

Retroclod o was talking about the age when a suspect is considered a paedophile.
Stop bringing up my previous jobs it has nothing to do with you.
