She did actually get her suspended sentence over turned and was given a 2 year sentence behind bars. I agree though regarding the difference in sentence and how a female grooming a male seems to be treated far more leniently.
I suppose there's some justice there, still lenient though.
There are so many factors in these things. It's a lot more complex than just the offender's age and the victim's. Certainly Johnson's lack of remorse would've counted against him, as it diminishes any argument that he would not continue to be a threat.
No England won those games with 10 men. There is no Adam Johnson
They do that? Seems pointless to me, what's the point of pretending he never played for England.
Not really. It's just a pretty extreme case. Your average case of some twenty something having sexual contact with a 15 year old wouldn't be treated as harshly, as your average case doesn't have this level of grooming, abuse of power, lack of remorse, lying in court, harm to the victim.
Slightly weird time to make that point...
Where could they store that much stuff?
They give players actual caps, or used to anyway. Don't know if they only do it for landmark appearances now or not.
This surely isn't what they meant, though? They can't demand he gives his hats back.
I wonder does he actually have to hand them over.They give players actual caps, or used to anyway. Don't know if they only do it for landmark appearances now or not.
Think they could as it was England who gave them to him so like with medals they can be stripped *shrugs*.
What about them? Your employer cannot sack you simply as you're facing charges in court. There has to be a guilty verdict first. And as far as I know they didn't have full knowledge of what happened, just a version of some of the truth.
He never played for City, or Sunderland or Middlesbrough. In fact he never existed.
Though they evidently could, and did, suspend him... only to later relieve the suspension in a way that looks awfully like a footballing decision rather than a legal/moral one.
