March 25, 201610 yr I kind of say it in jest, but at the same time, I don't think i'd be trying to sue if a hot teacher ended up in court over little old 15 year old me
March 25, 201610 yr I kind of say it in jest, but at the same time, I don't think i'd be trying to sue if a hot teacher ended up in court over little old 15 year old me What about the law? It's not you suing, it's criminal law kicking in. No reason to jest when you're saying someone like Johnson is disgusting. Edited March 25, 201610 yr by Valerie
March 25, 201610 yr Consistency is all we ask.. What I'm trying to point out, that by joking about it like you did, double standards are (subconciously probably) accepted, and consistency is far away.

I know where zola is coming from. It's a mentality that is common place in society but it needs to change to get fairness across the board in these cases. There's also stigma's attached to domestic violence where gender can play a part in how each case is treated.

March 25, 201610 yr There does seem to be a worrying lack of consistency in the way the law enforced, but all this bleating about sexism sounds silly to me. Just look up/google Andrew Picard, for example; I've no idea how this son of a top lawyer and ex-Etonian escaped jail. And then there's all the (male) nonces in Westminster going back decades, how many of them will face justice? It does seem to me like Adam Johnson is a disappointingly rare example of somebody being punished properly for sexual crimes.
March 25, 201610 yr I'm not sure anybody was "bleating" about sexism: people were pointing out, as you do, that there is no consistency in punishment, and that, perhaps due to double standards, some women escape with lighter sentences than some men. As Zola said, all we ask of the courts and of society is consistency. No bleating anywhere :-)
March 25, 201610 yr It's not bleating about sexism with no reason though is it. When you put together the sentences males get for sexual crimes against children to that of females it's staggering. Sexism on these crimes is out of control, it's there in black and white.
March 25, 201610 yr there are plenty of proper child abusers out there who never get put behind bars, just go on the register He is a 'proper' sex offender.

March 27, 201610 yr Author I think we can all agree that Johnson got what he deserved and that a man or a woman in the same case with the same circumstances should also get the same jail time. Its not about sexism or any of that nonsense, its about a consistent justice system.
March 29, 201610 yr What the hell is extreme animal porn? Surely watching any form of animal porn is extreme. What on earth was that sicko watching that was deemed extreme? He is an absolute beast.

March 29, 201610 yr Interesting read. Lol When I first read this some 10 years ago I was proper shocked. Nature - the sickest motherf**ker of them all.
May 27, 201610 yr Now another so called footballer! that keeps his senses & brains between his legs. Oldham Athletic footballer accused of sexual grooming.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-36397335
May 27, 201610 yr And these are the ones we know about. I have a strong feeling that many of the ones we don't know about involve coaches and youth players.
