Newcastle fans will regret to force him out. He's been doing his job very well, Palace is about to past Newcastle..

Do we know the circumstance? Johnson could have meet her in a nightclub meaning that she shouldn't have been there and he wasn't to know, many men get trapped that way.

If he knew and still slept with her then yes throw the book and the rest at him, but he could have been trapped.

Chuck him in a cage and forget about him if true.

I guess you haven't heard of Graham Rix?

A great Chelsea man who slept with a a 15yr old - even though she had ID claiming she was 21!!!

A man is easily tricked by a girl pretending to be a woman, especially in a nightclub.

True Rape, or abuse of power statutory rape like Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter - I agree wholeheartedly and believe lethal injection should be applied, we need to eradicate those defective genes. But this doesn't sound so clear cut

Yes he's an arsehole fir cheating on his wife - but being an arsehole does not make you guilty...

It's pretty much Sunderland's attitude too as they suspended him. Understandable decision though.

Can't honestly blame him.. I've seen a lot of 15-year-old girls who look like they're 22.

If he knew her age though, then its a completely different story.

You 'saw' these girls lurking around schools?

You 'saw' these girls lurking around schools?

In nightclubs.

If you're asking, I like girls a bit older than myself.

Jokes aside, anyone familiar with nightlife knows most clubs are filled with 15 year old girls who look 20+, fake I.D's easy to obtain and the bouncers are soft.

Exactly. In my neck of the woods, there are many girls who go to these clubs for free, knowing that middle aged men, from 28-45 are going there. For some reason these girls love it, and these men enjoy screwing these underage girls. The club owners/security/bouncers everybody knows the deal, One girl in my class, has no shame telling us about this NY banker who buys her gifts and screws her whenever he wants...and she's got 2 more. The thing with this story, is that these girls dont even need to try, it's being encouraged and promoted. Disgusting.

Stories like this are why i held off judging him.

But in the end does it really matter? In the court of public opinion, the stigma will already be there. It's like the girl who cries 'rape'/a child molestation accusation, even when it's proven latter on that it isn't. The damage will already have been done, guilty or not. Unfortunate, but true.

For sure, and also on the flip side actual rape victim's can get branded liars because of these girls that cry wolf.

That's the biggest problem by far and one that saddens me beyond belief...

I approve.

Jokes aside, anyone familiar with nightlife knows most clubs are filled with 15 year old girls who look 20+, fake I.D's easy to obtain and the bouncers are soft.

True. I feel for the guy if he didn't know, but the guy is an idiot. Why would a married public figure pick up young girls at clubs? There are more discrete and clever ways a man like him can fulfil his selfish needs in secret. Now his reputation is ruined and his marriage is probably over.

How do you prove he knew or didn't know she was 14 anyway?

If we win the game in hand, Manchester City are closer to 5th place than 1st.

The only sad thing is, we play that game in hand at the end of April.

IMO, if you marry a famous person, don't expect them to be faithful.

Money and fame is great, but unfaithfullness comes with the package as well.

However, as a few echoed already, you can't tell girls whether they are underage or not, especially at a nightclub where you might be potentially drunk and the dark lights. If he knewingly went forward, than that is a whole different story.
