Different times

In March 1999, Rix was sentenced to 12 months in prison, of which he served six, for having underage sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was also ordered to be placed on thesex offender registry for 10 years, and banned by the FA from working with youth players under the age of 16.[3] On his release from prison, he immediately rejoined Chelsea in his old job. He won the FA Cup again in 2000, before leaving the club, after a brief spell as caretaker manager following Vialli's sacking by Ken Bates...In February 2013, he was appointed head coach of A.F.C.

He's an immature dckhead who thought the world was his to enjoy and sod the consequences.

Do I believe he's a paedophile who is a danger to a group of 8 year old girls?

Probably not.

Six years and a lifetime on the sex offenders register is a fair sentence for his crime imho.

Agree with most of that but I don't know in these cases what is a fair sentence and what isn't. especially as we don't know all the details. The girl says her education and confidence has suffered and she has been subjected to bullying, that's pretty much a life sentence for her. As a parent to a 7 year old daughter, I just hope and pray (like all parents) that kind of situation doesn,t arise when she gets older.

Hard to comment on that as she was young...too young really.

Let's just hope she gets over her experience and has a happy life.

Seemingly there was ''Animal Porn'' found at his house ???

All a bit weird...

Alas the poor girl may have to relive her horrific experience at least once more in court since that plonker has brazenly and audaciously decided to lodge an appeal against his conviction. He really does come across as a sociopath doesn't he?

So are some crimes so heinous that the normal operations of British justice (right of appeal is enshrined) should be suspended? Tough on the victims yes, but lets not bring on vigilante-style justice.

Is he appealing the conviction or the sentence?

I thought he pretty much admitted his guilt in court.

"At the start of his trial last month, Johnson had admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity, relating to kissing her. He was found guilty of sexual touching and cleared of one charge relating to another sexual act."

It's the sexual touching charge he's appealing.

Footballer Adam Johnson has formally lodged an appeal against his six-year sentence for grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15.
