That was all before he was officially arrested, which was announced a couple of hours later.
No doubt in the inevitable melee to reach the top, everybody will react calmly and evenly to the news, and discuss it thoughtfully and with respect to everyone concerned. Of course they will.
Or more likely, the girl is named before midnight, someone firebombs Johnson's house and Katie Hopkins butts in with her view of proceedings.

On the other hand, naming those arrested for sexual offences appears to encourage other victims to come forward. That isn't to say that there is nothing worthwhile in what KGR said, but there is a counter-argument that anonymity for the accused doesn't help justice.

Sometimes, yeah. Especially when privileged types cry their salty man-tears for rapists and the like.
Because for all the reasons it's a terrible idea in every case, plus lots of others which anyone who actually gave a fuck instead of simply wanking off on here to defend sleazy men would go find out about.
Do your own research.

One of the things that has come from 'Yewtree' is the number of people who have come forward to give their story, and expose some of the fucking sleazy cunts who hide behind their fame and stature and use it as a mask to cover the revolting bastard that lies beneath.
This has persuaded me that every opportunity must be taken to help victims come forward and maybe get the prosecution that rapists and perverts deserve.
Should they turn out to have made up the story then that is another case entirely, but a couple of people telling lies should not get in the way of justice.

It's hardly Johnson's fault, but in my mind he is forever associated with reasons why you should never watch football in a pub.
I never enjoyed it anyway because you're pretty much trapped in a small space with dickheads screaming or applauding at a TV screen and shouting banalities like 'TRACK THE RUNNERS -FUCKING TRACK THE RUNNERS!!', but I have memories of some absolute weapon (cheers, Gero) standing behind us screaming 'COME ON A.J!' any time he touched the ball. The over-familiarity with A.J is nauseating enough, see also Giggsy/ Scholesy, but the fact that he made himself look even more stupid in a room full of stupid was quite a feat.
