if you remember the jeremy forester case, he groomed a school girl who he had sex and ran away with her to france and he was a fucking school teacher. the guy got 5 years and was out in 2.5.
adam johnson sent explicit texts and kissed her (what he was found guilty of) and gets 6 years? the justice in this country is a fucking joke sometimes. HE should be punished, but some level of balance. He probably got a BJ too but that wasn't proven in court.
The Jeremy Forester case is slightly different as she wanted to be with him and consented quite willingly (he of course can never be a teacher so has ruined his livelihood) Johnson groomed this girl for a long period of time, his confession of sexual activity (kissing with tongues) & grooming was then added to with an additional conviction for sexual activity. Yes sentencing has changed over the years, but the circumstances surrounding this case, including Johnson's sister orchestrating a Facebook page to campaign for his innocence & the treatment the victim faced on social media & at school have probably all played a part in the decision reached.
