On a serious note, innocent until proven guilty.

Re: Adam Johnson arrested
Unfortunately even if he is innocent, he'll still be branded by many.

Re: Adam Johnson arrested
i would be very surprised if the police originally released his name, some insider or someone close to him will have done it
Re: Adam Johnson arrested
It happens in rape trials all the time. Victim is un named and the guy being questioned is named before even being charged.

Re: Adam Johnson arrested
His name should never of been released, for all these on twitter and facebook know the lad may not of done anything, none of them would like it if they were accused of something of the sort, innocent until proven guilty

Re: Adam Johnson arrested
I don't think any name should ever be mentioned in a rape trial until the accused is actually convicted. Too many peoples lives have been ruined by unfounded accusations.

Re: Adam Johnson arrested
Sadly, all it takes to make someone guilty these days is an accusation.

I think the legal term is still statutory rape, even if it's consensual.shawry wrote:If its consensual then its unlawful sex, not rape.divas wrote:Sex with a minor is statutory rape.theoriginalfatcat wrote:Who's suggesting rape??Darlo_Pete wrote:I don't think any name should ever be mentioned in a rape trial until the accused is actually convicted.

I checked online and found this:mikkyx wrote:Isn't that only if the victim is below a certain age?
http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-ch ... -rape.html
So it's if they're below the age of consent apparently.Statutory rape refers to sexual relations involving someone below the "age of consent." People below the age of consent cannot legally consent to having sex. This means that sex with them, by definition, violates the law [...] [and] the act is a crime whether or not force is involved.
