On a serious note though, I do sympathise with men today. 14 year old girls look a lot older than they actually are, all it takes is a fake ID to get into a club and you'd just assume she's legal.

I'd say 16 year olds can look over 18, but 14 is pushing it.

As a professional footballer, he has to be more careful. Even if she says she is 18, if he had any slight doubt that she is younger than that, he should have moved away.

Sorry but this is utter crap. It makes no difference if he is a footballer. Any man who thinks there is a chance she could be 14 should stay well away.

My sister is 12 and looks as old as me, I'm 24.

The age of consent is 16 though. In some countries like France and Germany this wouldn't actually be a crime*.
I want to know the whole story before I pass judgement.

Edit: *Providing of course it was consensual.
Maybe I'm a bit naive but looking at some of the comments on Twitter you'd think he was proven guilty. Seems that all it takes is an accusation these days.

The twitter lynch mob is really quite dangerous.

Jokes and understanding of how it could happen to anyone...?

I think as a society we've still got some way to go on subjects like statutory rape.
I still find it more egregious that his name is released before anything is proven. No matter if he is proven innocent, statutory rape will follow him for the rest of his life. It's particularly tough for people with such a high profile to get rid of false claims. Release it when he's proven guilty.

As long as there is the Internet, there will always be a disconnect between people writing the jokes and the gravity of whatever crime has been committed.

Not gonna lie though, some of the jokes made me laugh like fuck.

They release it in case there are other victims that might come forward. I'm not sure where I stand on that.

Never understood that, cases can still take place while a person is serving time is prison already. You can just add more time on to his/hers sentence.

I'm reading on twitter (probably not true) that he met her in a club. Saying this is true, surely if she has shown "ID" to get into the club, and it is an 18s+ he cannot be held at all responsible? Is it not reasonable of him to assume that she was 18 because she was in the club?

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
Because already his name has been shamed. Many people with fame have struggled after similar acquisitions to continue their careers.

Doesn't mean his career is over. He'll have to take some abuse from opposing fans and that but no one is going to refuse to employ someone who is innocent. Ched Evans was subject to the public outcry and had to find a club after being in jail, but if Johnson isn't convicted of anything he'll stay and Sunderland and this will be forgotten before too long.

I don't understand what you mean. They would use the other victims testimony to build a stronger case is the first place. Many victims would never come forward otherwise.

That was my first thought when I heard about all of this.

He's made a massive mistake (and I'm not just talking about cheating on his missus who is fit as) and he'll pay for it.

How would that chain of events lead to a police raid on his home though?

Tomorrow's front pages are fairly amusing.

"England ace" and "England star" - really?

Even if he's innocent he'll get abuse everywhere he goes. Banter or not that would be wrong.

Bit like Dave Jones.
