That's not exactly true and you probably should look up the actual laws as they're staggered depending on the age of the adult in question. I think off hand it's something like 14 if your 18 or below, the consent age rises with the age of the adult so it's 16 at 21 or over. Something like that anyway, but for those examples above, he'd still be guilty in those countries.

Ridiculously long sentence for a crime that very many young men commit. What is the benefit of putting him in prison for that long? His career is already ruined, I am sure he has learnt his lesson. Wouldn't six months have done the job?

Young men, he's 28!! Seriously, how many people in their 20's do you think court girls just turning 15!!!
What shall we do with our justice system, just scrap sentencing guidelines as someone lost their good job and learned their lesson!? Glad it wasn't you daughter I suppose, although I know the stock answer to that will be 'my daughter would never do a thing like that' and there in a nut shell we still have a society that all too easily reverts to 'she was game for it...'.severnside gull

Frankly sickened by the apologists on here. Clearly some people don't understand morality or social responsibility let alone long-term grooming, the control it seeks to exert, and the mental harm it can do. A child's life could be irreparably harmed, she has already attempted to take her life, but never mind as long as some minor celebrity gets his rocks off it must be the law that's at fault.
He's not a young man. And he's shown no ****ing remorse.
Suggest you read this. All of this. https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/r-v-johnson-sentencing.pdf
The guy is obviously a predator, had it of just been a one off with no other history to speak of he may have only got a couple of years if that.
The sentence probably is a reflection of how long the judge thinks Johnson needs, to be able to address his offending.
If he attends all the courses convinces the psychologists he's been rehabilitated he could be out in 3.
But if he feels he's been hard done by, and doesn't co operate he'll just serve the full 6 years.
Personally I feel he should never be released if the parole board feel he could still re offend.

Came on this thread expecting to agree that this sentence is too short, JESUS CHRIST some people are saying its too long.
He knew what he was doing and did it. The situation doesn't matter, he did it and should have got many more years, do we want people like him on the streets?

Didn't Graham Rix only get 12 months for actually having sex with a 15-year-old girl, which is a lesser crime than what AJ has committed? Unless I'm missing something?

He believed she was older. No such mitigating circumstances for Johnson.

Ah, cheers for the additional context. Wasn't aware of that.
Agreed. Disappointing to see that so many NSC users (inc moderators) are paedo apologists.

With you there.
Personally don't think it's too long but it's sure as hell not too short either.
I don't understand why his career being ruined is mentioned either, like his potential discomfort has any bearing when the victim is likely going to be suffering in some form or another for a while yet.
You are disgusting. Because people debate the minutiae in this instance you feel fit to label them child sex apologists. Prat.

Good grief! Your ignorance just gets worse. You've completely fallen for the lie that laws like this are made in Brussels. They are not and never will be.
you are right Lord but what backs up that claim. Just asking so that everyone else may know why.
EDIT: Thought I better point out that I was talking about who sets 'law'!

Outrageous comment.
I wouldn'y be surprised if yoh are someone who wat hes kiddie porn.
Can you type? Or are you drunk?
Well this is my view.
Adam Johnson guilty 12 month suspended sentence. Big pay out to chav family.
Johnson going on TV to say how stupid he has been, and will go on a course set by the police to learn his lesson.
Johnson career can continue, everyone happy.

Given the type of porn he was in possession of I hope they dont show Disney's Beauty and the Beast in prison as I would expect Johnson to get very excited at the prospect of watching that
