He said they must come to a decision on the remaining two charges.
"It will be for you and only you to determine if he is guilty or not guilty."

admits to one count of sexual activity with a child

pleads not guilty to two counts of sexual activity with someone under 16



can someone explain the difference here please?

The one he pleads guilty on was kissing and touching the skin - so they say

But to answer your question - I don't know the difference

admits to one count of sexual activity with a child

pleads not guilty to two counts of sexual activity with someone under 16



can someone explain the difference here please?

yes he was probably on three charges and admitted one - peado

Sunderland should terminate his contract with immediate effect !!!

He's admitted sexual activity with a minor, the guy's a nonce, simple as that.

I don't care if the girl in question looked older, he knew she was underage so he understood the repurcussions.

He pleaded guilty to kissing her but not activity which I believe is having sex with her?

correct

The kissing part, its quite possible that he did not know her age, if he met her out and about, but the important thing here is that he groomed her on the internet, so to me he is a pedophile and should be jailed

Totally agree pal, anyone who disagrees are idiots, imagine someone of his status grooming your Daughter, you'd wanna kill him !!

Didn't realise that, thought he met her in a club

the grooming part i just assuming it was on the internet.... might not be though

He groomed her on the internet, he has admitted that, then he probably arranged to meet her, maybe at a club

Did he know her age tho ? If he didn't then that would be totally different ,if he did he's a pedophile

not sure i would use the term peadophile if she was 15, but then it goes against this countries laws so i wouldnt be surprised if he went to prison.

Knew her age before he met her. Wrong un.

not sure i would use the term peadophile if she was 15, but then it goes against this countries laws so i wouldnt be surprised if he went to prison.

See http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/s9_sexual_activity_with_a_child/ for likely sentencing outcome.

gotta be honest id rather not read more into it.

Technically he is a paedophile, as he's admitted sexual activity with a minor. Quite sure it would be the same even if she was 16/17, as he's in a position of trust - but not 100% if a footballer is seen as a 'position of trust' by the court.

Will be shocked if he escapes prison.

And loose their £10m (?) they paid for him

Got a smart missus, kid on the way, living in a mansion, earning millions of pounds a year, made for life.

Why oh why would you risk all that for a fumble about with a 15 year old schoolgirl. Absolute wrong un.

Exactly.

gotta wonder what goes through some peoples heads.

Didnt know he had a kid on the way, totally ruined his life and for what?

Holding back until Friday when more is released, because at the moment we don't know the full facts.
But what I do know is that he's a stupid idiot for simply cheating on his missus (who is pretty hot), the lad is a very decent football player and he's almost fucked that up for him self at 28, If he is acquitted on all charges then I can only see him staying at Sunderland for the rest of his career or moving abroad because I doubt any Prem team will go after him now

I have heard he didnt actually know how old she is. Not sure how true that is or not. There is also pictures circulating suppose to be of the girl in question and if so you certainly wouldnt question her age if she told you she was 18.

There is a tendancy with something like this to assume he is an evil predator but i dont automatically think thats the case

His missus has stood by him which I find incredible. I would bet everything I got that if they were married she would be filing divorce right now and she'd get a very very handsome pay off!

I would hope money has nothing to do with it. No amount of money is going to help in this case and hes about to stop earning

No I am not on about the case.

His girlfriend has decided to stick by him, probably because he's worth a lot of money and they live in a huge house. I bet if they were married she wouldn't have filed for divorce, she would have grounds to take him to the cleaners. He's admitted to kissing a 15 year old girl ffs.

He can't get acquitted of all charges he's pleaded guilty to two of them!!!

If there was any doubt how old she was why has he pleaded guilty to "grooming a minor"?!?. Sounds likes he's banged to rights the f*cking nonce.
