Papers still calling him a paedophile. He should sue.

Sex offender is probably more accurate but the definition of a paedophile (according to Google) is a person who is sexually attracted to children.
She was underage. He was sexually attracted to her.
That ticks the boxes

One 15 y.o. is not "children" as a group, and the definition should include terms like "primary sexual attraction" and "pre pubescent" anyway. He isn't a paedophile (or at least hasn't been proven to be one).

There is that. It's not like he was after more than one.
But that doesn't excuse it

I'm not excusing what he did mate. He should be jailed just for being that stupid.

He is an idiot. He has gone against the law of the land and has been punished but I don't think he can be categorised as a paedo by most definitions.

Indeed he should, but wouldn't it make more sense to put him somewhere where he might actually be able to recondition his warped noggin rather than sticking him in with people who probably approve of his actions

I don't know. He knew she was underage and went ahead. He even did an internet search for "age of consent" with the first meeting being when she was 14.
When he does come up for release, I think a psychologist needs to take a good look at him to ensure he does not have a liking for underage girls and thus is not a future threat.
In theory anybody could "have a liking" to somebody underage, not everybody matures at the same rate. The stupidity, or maybe arrogance, lies in the fact that he found out her age and didn't let it stop him.
That last minute winner at SJP. Class.

Aye, well I'm not saying he's a paedo, from what I gather, the lass was fully developed physically. I think it would be mental to suggest he doesn't like them young though.

There was a photo doing the rounds...fair to say she will be a stunner but to me she looked like a bairn. I would cut his balls offAye, well I'm not saying he's a paedo, from what I gather, the lass was fully developed physically. I think it would be mental to suggest he doesn't like them young though.

When the sentencing judge gave his summary he stated that Johnson was attracted to her not because of her age but in spite of her age, this is the judge clearly saying he is not a paedophile.

Just before he sent him down for 6 years.
Aye, I don't think anyone is suggesting he's Gary Glitter or anything.

not putting him in the same bracket as Glitter or anything but if someone burgles your house, just once, and it isn't their primary source of income, would you say they're a burglar or not?
She was just turned 14 when he started grooming her remember.
and clearly very young and naive in the head if you read the whatsapps
