I don't know exactly what injustice has been done to Johnson?

She's ditched him, not that that will make anyone over-sympathetic.
She was 15. Just.
I suspect they're basing it on some kind of "But he only kissed her" argument.

As an aside, the whole "Justice for" argument that's so common nowadays bothers me. Justice is "for" all of us equally, or it's no justice.
Only around trial time.
I am curious to see this girl ... I wonder what 15 year old is worth wrecking your life ... At least he'll have millions when he comes out of jail.

So he should be treated more leniently if she was irresistible ?

I think sentencing shouldn't be so black and white. I mean 10 years? He wasn't balls deep in toddler, he fingered a post pubes bint.
If you're drunk out your chunk and slam your car into someone you get a massive sentence. If you're a bit over the limit and get pulled over you get a ban. He seems to be to be guilty of the latter and getting sentenced for the former.
How old is 15 really?
As soon as she turned 15 she was entering her 16th year

Dammit. I looked at the thread title and assumed Glen had finally been given an apology for that toilet seat. Most disappointed.
Unfortunately he didn't plead guilty until the eve of the trial. Forced the girl to give evidence. Accused her of lying. Lied himself to the court, to the police and to his employers. They're all aggravating factors that pushes the years higher. He though he could get away with it, hired a "top" lawyer, and then rolled the dice. 10 years wouldn't be a surprise. On the other hand a depraved child abusing paedophile knows the game is up. So they rock up to court with all sorts of mitigating mental and psychiatric factors, which help to push the years down.
It's not really about punishment fitting the crime. It's like game theory, and each defendant deciding what risk he is willing to take for what return.
