He wasn't exactly starring for Sunderland before he got sacked anyway.

I think you need to change that title Bry! He's facing up to ten years in prison, guilty on one count but not the other.

QuoteThe footballer Adam Johnson is facing up to ten years in jail after being found guilty of sexual activity with a 15-year-old schoolgirl.

I will reign in my anger, but using his child to promote a call for him to have justice? How cynical and nauseating. He can have my justice if he wants - locked up for a very, very long time.

We already know he is guilty as two of the charges, one of which was grooming a child, he has admitted.

So if he wants justice he should get it, the full period of prison allowable and monitored for life; which in my opinion is way too light.

I have to wonder what thought was given before commencing this campaign for the implications to the innocent child victim he groomed and committed his crimes against?

I appreciate his sister must be upset but she should understand he had a fair trail, he admitted to grooming a child and was found guilty of sexual activity with a child.

What sentence would you give? 5 years seems sensible but that'd mean he'd be out in 2.5 years. So 10 years is what I'd give.

I think 10 out in 5 would be more appropriate in this case.
