Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
The former England international footballer has been jailed for six years for sexual grooming and sexual activity with an under age girl.
Adam Johnson showed no emotion as the case wound up.
The judge at Bradford Crown Court said, "The girl had only turned 15 when you began to groom her", "you made a deliberate decision... no doubt in the expectation that you would get away with it".
The fallen star, come-paedophile who was earning £60,000 every week at Sunderland AFC said, "I have lost all the important aspects of my life. My reputation, my career, my girlfriend."
The paedophile will be given a baggy track suit and will be living off "barely alive" ready meals daily.
He will have plenty of time to think about his crime but he will not serve the whole six years.
Now that Johnson's court case has been concluded maybe we can now talk about it :weeble:

Re: Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
What a horrible bloke he was.
He must have had a twisted mind to do all this.
There was no excuses.
I do think though that his sentence is higher than normal because it was a high profile case.
To be honest, it looks like he was taking advantage of something that appears to have been thrown at him.
They will be wanting to make an example out of Adam Johnson to discourage others.
He is actually appealing against the sentence.

Re: Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
If he appeals he could get longer?
I think that's which way it goes.
The thing is, we are only hearing one side of the story here.
All we see is that the girl was the victim after she stalked him rotten and put it on a plate for him.
No, I am not sticking up for the girl, I am merely saying that all we see is that Adam Johnson exploited a young girl.
We don't see anything other than HIS actions and that HE was wrong!
Surely his family was aware of her infatuation for him and should have saw something wrong in her unhealthy interest?
Yes, Adam Johnson deserves his punishment as he done something totally wrong but its not all black and white is it.
In cases like these it would be nice to get a balanced view of the whole case and not a one sided view.
Six years is about right because he allowed things to go on for so long until he got what he wanted.
At any time he could have got out.
Was he not aware of the paedophiles that the BBC have employed in the past and how serious things would be?
He has been a silly boy and will pay for his crime.
His money is safe so he can retire in comfort.
Only he will know whether he thinks it was worth it.

I heard that but then I have heard some of the statements she has made and they appear very mature.monty wrote:Its just been on the news that the girl victim took an intentional overdose a few days ago .......... ten paracetamol

Way too advanced!
As for Adam Johnson he got what he deserved.
Time for Sunderland fans to distance ourselves from him.

He would have calculated that beforehand so yes he will think it was worth it.cam wrote: Only he will know whether he thinks it was worth it.
After all, he still has millions for when he comes out.
His football career is over but his money will look after him later.
Sunderland lost a good footballer through his twisted ways.
Such a shame that he went like this and in these days when there are so many cases on child sexual exploitation.
I think 6 years is a little too long when some people can get far less for attempted murder :red_wow:
Time to draw a line under all this because its dragged on for so long.
And remember that no English football clubs supporters can call Sunderland because the club acted correctly.
And, he represented them when he played for England!
By the way his 12 England caps have been stripped from him.

Re: Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
Six years for the lad is far too long but due to the current climate with all these historical sex cases it was expected.
I guess the fact that he was well aware of her age went against him.

This is true but remember the girl involved has the right to anonymity for life.thingamajig wrote:Now that Johnson's court case has been concluded maybe we can now talk about it :weeble:
We are all well aware that her pictures have been shared amongst many people on the internet but being responsible Sunderland fans do not try that here or you will be in trouble with the police.
Johnson has gone from Sunderland now.
We can't be responsible for the actions of one warped individual.
Sunderland moves on.
..... and Sunderland, the underdogs, are in the lead!

Re: Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
In my day we used to call these paedophiles, BEASTS!
The sentence is disproportionate to the sentences dished out to others for manslaughter for instance.
Adam Johnson will be comfortable for the rest of his life when he gets out which will be in three years.
He will never play football again for any team ever.
Oh, how the mighty fall!

Re: Adam Johnson Trial - Sentenced To Six Years
From an England international star to child sex offender.
Its very difficult to sink in.
The victim has to now get on with her life.
Goodbye Johnson, don't come to Sunderland ever again!
