thplinth Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think there is prejudice against guys who commit this crime versus women who do it and especially so when being judged by other men. When they boy is the victim he is often not even seen as much of a victim (again especially by men) but by christ when a bloke does it he is the biggest scumbag imaginable. Something is nae right and either women are getting off too lightly or men are getting treated too harshly. You cant have it both ways as it reeks of institutional sexism against men in the courts.

Yeah, when that story came out one of my mates sent a link in the group text and a message along the lines of "Jammy wee , wish that'd happened to me at school".

Bristolhibby Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Very timely in my local paper tonight. Some fecker gets jailed for 6 1/2 years for raping a 13 year old at knifepoint and shows no remorse. Johnson gets 6. There is 6 months difference in the sentences. It doesn't add up to me. http://m.bathchronicle.co.uk/Bath-man-raped-13-year-old-girl-knifepoint-jailed/story-28986908-detail/story.html Again, it could be because one went to trial, and the other didn't.

joe545 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not defending him but 6 years is a lot for something that isn't even illegal in most other EU countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggycoo Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Again, not defending Johnsons actions but he got the heavier sentence as he is a footballer/celebrity/millionaire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what the law says she was in the wrong too. The law says a lot of things no one sticks by. She went and met him by choice and did whatever with him by choice. Yes legally its wrong and moraly its very wrong too on his part. If it was the other way about as has been proven, next to all would be done. If it was my daughter he wouldn't have got 6 year he'd have got buried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 6 years seems excessive to me, he is obviously guilty, but rapists get less time than him. Think it's incredibly harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekfaejapan Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Very harsh sentence IMO. This guy here is a previous offender and only got 8 months more than Johnston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanJon Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I hope he gets his bum hole fingered every night. On the bright side if he keeps his nose clean he will be out for her 18th birthday party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 We aren't aware of all the evidence, unlike the judge, so I would imagine there must be stuff they are aware of which contributed to the length of the sentence. On a slightly brighter note for him, he isn't getting done for the animal porn they found him with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know that for a fact? No, you're just talking shite and you are defending his actions with your baseless excuses. Do any of us know, for certain, what the police found on his phone or computer? I'll trust the judge over you, if you don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's incredibly harsh. You are looking at it completely incorrectly. 6 years is just about enough for Johnson. Rapists should get 20 years minimum. Current sentences aren't harsh. They aren't anywhere near harsh enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
