England footballer arrested for alleged under-age sex
BBC radio just reported that a 27 year-old England player has been arrested on suspicion of having sex with an under-age girl. Did some digging and it's reported in the Sun and the Indy:

Article mentions Durham Police so I'm assuming it is somebody on either Newcastle or Sunderland's books, but could be wrong.

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
ffs don't they check (on their age) before shagging em! 

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Just hope it isn't true, the lad is married and his missus gave birth to his daughter a few months ago. Either way that might be our season fucked, best player unlikely to play again and we're shit enough to begin withOneBardGooner wrote:ffs don't they check (on their age) before shagging em!

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Yep. Assuming he's innocent it will still take a while for the investigation to run, and he'll be suspended until then.safcftm wrote:Just hope it isn't true, the lad is married and his missus gave birth to his daughter a few months ago.

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Fucking hell when I heard this story first I fully expected it to be with someone just shy of 16 who he must of met in a club or something and wouldn't have known she was underage but it turns out the girl was only 14 

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Didnt know she was only 14 at the time, where did you see that? Mind (and not just trying to blindly defend him) if he was in a club a 14 year old could still easily look 16, be interesting to see what happensrodders999 wrote:Fucking hell when I heard this story first I fully expected it to be with someone just shy of 16 who he must of met in a club or something and wouldn't have known she was underage but it turns out the girl was only 14

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
For obvious reasons details are sketchy, but I initially heard it reported (Indy link above) that she was indeed 14.safcftm wrote:Didnt know she was only 14 at the time, where did you see that?

BBC later said she is 15.

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
I'm far from a police basher but it's a disgrace that this has been leaked/given to the press. Just shouldn't happen before a person is charged.
Depends on the facts but if it was in a club (for example) and he genuinely didn't know she was under 16 then he's certainly not guilty of rape and presumably no sexual offences.

Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Ah well I've just heard more about it from a good source, think I'll back out of this thread now
Re: England footballer arrested for under-age sex
Cheating is wrong IMO, but when it comes to a professional sportsman, it is beyond idiotic, because it can lead to massive repercussions. I'm going to try and believe that Johnson didn't know the girl was underage, but another example of the stupidity of footballers, who keep getting themselves in awkward situations.
