I will put this in here as its not football related. This is mad that his name is in the public domain already. "She said she was 16" is not a legit excuse any more. (it's 16 over there, isn't it?). Neither was "she was in a club drinking so I thought she was 18" - judges won't entertain that any more. I don't think he's coming back from this, not after the Ched Evans thing, and also the fact that he's nonced her. He's basically the Gary Saville of football now.
Any chance the girl boasted about something happening to her mates and not much in it. Seemingly her Dad got wind of it and got the cops involved. His wife just had a baby a few weeks ago. Seems to be something to it, how could he be so stupid if he was up to no good
The picture of the girl has been doing the rounds today and she looks like shes 18-21. Not for a moment would you think shes 15. We don't the full story but you could imagine he didn't know her correct age would be my guess.
That and the fact he met her in a nite club... I seen her pic earlier and thought 18-21 also. Its scary how old these kids can make themselves look.
I didn't know it was a nightclub. that pretty much sealed it. Like what do they expect Men too do, ask for ID lol. Hopefully he can move on from this.
Apparently not. According to a legal bod who posts on another forum I read on its own the defence of "she was in a night club drinking" wouldn't hold much water, but if that is backed up by other factors (say the club being over 21s, or other witnesses testifying that she looked over the age of consent, or CCTV footage etc) then it is a reasonable defence to say "I believed she was of legal age and so could consent
The picture people are posting in social media today is seemingly his misses and Not the 15 year old Very sensitive issue, people should be mindful what they post publicly Some of the stuff I seen today on the net is madness
I couldn't agree with you more on this one, Gerry. Obviously, it's innocent until proven guilty for a start. In reality, unfortunitely it could happen to just about anyone in a bar or night club, few drinks on board, girl is done up to the nines, has got past the bouncers where there's an age limit of say 18s in place, being served alcohol etc. It's hardly like people go around asking girls for ID to verify their age.
Either way his career is tarnished whether innocent or guilty. Awful this has come out before being proven.
Footballers you would think should have more sense than to be getting themselves in these situations. If he is guilty he should be punished in the exact same way as any member of the public would. For too long many footballers have escaped punishment and for the few convicted there have been many more cases brushed under the carpet.
i reckon it's a case of him pulling a bird in a nite club, assuming she is 20 years old or more, then having sex. Then, because he's a professional footballer, she decides to come out and make a story of it. This kind of thing happens, but the girl doesn't make anything of it, because "he" isn't famous..... Young wan's (especially English mots) get done up to the 9's and a 15 year old could easily be mistaken for a 20 year old. I actually sympathise with Johnson here, as i doubt that he has a fallacious liking for young girls (he has no previous)
Bollocks to that. People make mistakes, so there's every chance someone under age got into a club. You do your own due diligence or you face the consequences, even more so when you are a "famous" person, as you are likely to be targeted or have teenage girls fawn over you. I was in Bath last year, and ID'd a young one before I'd even kiss her. She was 19 and I still thought that was too young and I was only 24 at the time! When in doubt, pull the ID out! It's not worth becoming a sex offender over.
I'd be fairly certain you wouldn't have the same sympathy, if you ever had a daughter, who at the age of 15, ended up having sex with a grown man. It always amazes me, similar to the Ched Evans case, how when stories like this come out, the first people to receive pity and sympathy are the footballers, they somehow have become the victims because they're famous footballers.
i would like to think that if / when i have a daughter, she won't be dressed like a tart and going to nite clubs at the age of 15. That's the parents fault for allowing that. Ched Evas was found guilt and admitted to rape, has Adam Johnson? I don't condone rape, and i despise rapists. This girl consented to sex with Johnson, she said that, two TOTALLY DIFFERENT things. I don't have sympathy for Ched Evans. I think my point is being missed. I think a man can be forgiven for not demanding to see a girls passport in a nite club, when mouldy drunk!
That pic doing the rounds was apparently his wife/gf. Rumours going around he got chatting to the girl on instagram. Also he was arrested and suspended from his club. Police would not arrest him on the word of a girl. They must have accessed the social media conversations believed to have happened between the two. It's not like they met in a night club and he presumed she was over age. He's ****ed I'd say.
So without any evidence of what’s gone on your judgement is; The 15 year old was dressed like a tart (presuming you’ve zero evidence of that), she consented to sex with Johnson (again not sure how you could know this) , then because Johnson is a footballer she decided to come out and make a story out of it (another assumption). You’re the one missing the point Clayton, without any evidence you’ve already been judge and jury and have the whole case wrapped up in your head. Johnson is the victim, and he was targeted (by a 15 year old no less) so a story could be made out of it, presumably so she could make money? By the way, Johnson became a Dad for the first time just 7 weeks ago. If he has done anything wrong then he must feel really proud of himself.
Ched Evans didn't admit to rape, just thought I should point that out. Although he is guilty of it. A 15 year old is a child and thus can't consent to sex. Without consent it's rape. Also, I'm pretty sure the parents didn't doll the child up like a tart and send her to a nightclub, kids lie to their parents about their whereabouts. I'm sure we've all done it. I know I have. "I'm staying in my mates tonight", then your mate "I'm staying in my mates tonight!" can do what you like then. The facts are Adam Johnson is a 27 year old man, famous footballer at that. The girl in question is a 15 year old child In no circumstance is it OK for an adult to have sex with a child, "consenting" or not. Again if it happened to your daughter and she "consented" would you be ok with it then and still think poor old Adam was the victim?
She was 15 Clayton..... 15 years of age... think about it for a few minutes. No matter the circumstances I would find it very difficult to accpet his innoncence here. Disgusting.
Nothing innocent about the man. Done the dirt on his wife/partner who only had baby 7 weeks ago. On top of that the pervert (if guilty ) sleeps with a girl clearly underage. This won't end well for Adam
