Good point, but I don't see him doing much decreasing the way this case has gone.

As I said I think if you look at the offence it includes any age (e.g. down to a proper child - 3 or 4) and includes anything from penile penetration to less, and he's up for digital penetration. On both fronts he's in deep shit and will probably end up in prison but the fact the sentencing range is so wide doesn't mean he'll get the full whack of it.

Nobody is saying there's an obligation man :lol::lol:

If a hundred people came out and alleged the whole SAFC board were corrupt and all the worst allegations you can imagine etc etc. then there would be no 'obligation' to respond, but it would be best advised they did.

The only time you can be 'obligated' to talk in the UK is when you're told to by a court, but it doesn't mean it's not f***ing stupid not to in other situations.

Not one person has said in 72 pages of this thread SAFC have a legal obligation to reply, just that it would be in their best interests to, if they have nothing to hide.

So they really need to respond to Johnson's statement in court that they knew what he'd been up to?

I think the offence he's up for includes anything from sexual contact to penile penetration so the fact the starting point is 5 years doesn't mean that in his case it is. She's at the top end of the age bracket and digital penetration would be less than penile but we'll see when the verdict is announced.

Didn't see him accused of that in the reports, should add a few years I imagine.

Based on my own opinion, and I don't think i'd be alone in thinking that either.

What is your opinion based on? Is it no longer based on similar cases? Just your opinion now?
