Hmm, I can't see this campaign taking off personally. I certainly hope it doesn't:

The sister of disgraced footballer Adam Johnson has posted a “Justice for Johnson” photograph on Facebook following his child sex offence convictions.
Faye Johnson posted a black-and-white image of her brother with his one-year-old daughter wearing a Sunderland AFC shirt with “Daddy” on the back.
The Facebook picture is titled “Justice for Johnson” and urges followers: “Change your profile picture to support Adam Johnson’s appeal. Facebook removed our group but we will not stop publicising our support #TeamAJ”.
It is the first public comment from Johnson’s family since he was found guilty at Bradford crown court last week of sexual activity with a child.
The former England and Sunderland player, 28, is facing a custodial sentence later this month. The judge said his preliminary view was that the case fell into the category of a five-year prison sentence with a range of four to 10 years. Johnson admitted kissing and grooming the 15-year-old schoolgirl and was found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child. He was cleared of one further count.
Johnson’s barrister, Orlando Pownall QC, told the court he intended to appeal against the guilty verdict for child sexual activity. He was convicted after a jury returned a majority verdict of 10 to two.
Faye Johnson attended almost every day of her brother’s three-week trial, sitting in the public gallery alongside her father, Dave, and Johnson’s ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders.
Her public show of support for her brother came hours after a Facebook page in support of Johnson was removed from the site.
More than 1,000 people “liked” the Adam Johnson Appeal Fight page before it was taken down. The page featured comments about his victim that angered members of the public, who complained to Facebook and asked for it to be removed.
Among those angry about the appeal page were the anonymous paedophile hunters, Dark Justice. One of the Tyneside-based pair said: “We think it’s crazy such a page even got made and some of the stuff said on there was sick. There was no need at all. We’re glad it’s gone.”0 -
Do you think she's intelligent enough to understand that he pleaded guilty to two of the four counts?1

Katie Hopkins is a twat but her piece on this story does to be fair make a lot of sense. Reluctantly saying that.1

All sentencing guidelines have aggravating and mitigating factors which will adjust the length or type of any sentence from a starting point somewhere in the middle of the range.bobmunro said:
This - although both are abhorrent.cafcdave123 said:I think Rix was a one off drunk night after a party in a hot tub rather than grooming and offering signed shirts in return for a kiss etc.
*I am not saying getting drunk and sleeping with a child is any better just trying to think of why it might be seen differently by the law.
With Johnson it was planned and calculated - malice aforethought. Pretty much the differential between murder and manslaughter.
I would imagine in Johnson's case there are few mitigating factors and plenty of aggravating ones - particularly given the intimate nature of the text conversations, pre-arrangement of meeting and his google searches.
Can't remember the circumstances around Rix, but if it was one drunken occasion and nothing was premeditated there would almost certainly have been far more mitigation than aggravation.0 -
Presumably it'll be the usual social media/internet campaign against a sex-crime conviction.Powell Is Pleasant said:

Blame the victim
Present an idealised version of the guilty person's personality
Use innocent bystanders, especially children
Lots of smiling photographs1 -
In their defence what he did was not right but there is some controversy over the sequence of events - Katie Hopkins is not the only one that thinks that there was less 'grooming' and more willingness on behalf of the teenage girl who would have been legally allowed to enter into a full sexual relationship in other countries in Europe.
However, the most significant factor in this, irrespective as to if we agree or not, is that his sister wants to keep him out of prison for a crime that 'suggests' that he is no danger to society.0 - Sponsored links:

not sure but a teaching assistant got 18 months or sexual activity with a child so i expect AJ to be playing abroad within the year0

I read that they had sex over 50 times and she told him she was pregnant to try and get him to run away with her. Only 18 months for that is outrageous.cafcdave123 said:not sure but a teaching assistant got 18 months or sexual activity with a child so i expect AJ to be playing abroad within the year

No, in all seriousness, that's terrible. The thing I can't get my head around is that the woman in question is very attractive, Why the fuck is she having a relationship with a 15 year old boy??5 -

It's a shame over Adam Johnson but not because I feel sorry for him. It's a shame because the dickhead has foolishly decided to risk his career and blown it and it's a waste of a talent.1

I know this is morally wrong to admit but it would be a common thought etc. If I was with her at the age of 15 I would not be complaining and would consider myself very lucky...I imagine most others would feel the same. It's quite hard to imagine the point where I would feel used and abused.....but I guess you don't know until it's happened to you.....Chrissy\\\'s Army!! said:
