What I find most disturbing is the moral indignation which is now mandatory when discussing sexual relations with young women, and the desire to label them children when in this case she clearly is not in any meaningful sense of the word. Quite frankly it demeans women.Most of the old school feminists I know take this view. Because they recognise that from about 14 onwards they fancied blokes, wanted sex with them and got on with it. In general the boys were older than the girls. The concept of grooming is helpful when discussing the role of an adult in subverting a child who has no sexual experience and is vulnerable to deceit. Most 15 year old girls are sexually experienced and know what is going down. In this context it is helpful to remember that we are talking about mutual simulation of the genital area which all sexually mature humans enjoy and which is normally but not always carried out between two people to their mutual pleasure and delight. It is fun. It bears no relation to stabbing or otherwise injuring someone. Unless it is rape. Which this was not.Morally Johnson is too old to be messing about with a 15 year old. But the idea he has somehow defiled and damaged her seems unlikely to be true. I repeat. Humans like sex. He has been a fool. He should have been mature enough to say "you' re a nice kid but you are way too young and what we are getting into is wrong and dangerous". But a prison sentence and the end of his career? Totally disproportionate in my view.

Agreed. Especially if he gets back into the Sunderland team.
