Footballer Adam Johnson has been sentenced to six years for grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15.

 

Johnson, 28, was found guilty of sexual touching but cleared of one charge relating to another sexual act following a trial at Bradford Crown Court.

 

The former Sunderland winger previously admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity.

 

Judge Jonathan Rose said the girl had "suffered severe psychological harm".

 

He told the England international that she had "suffered threats and thousands of abusive remarks" on social media.

 

Judge Rose told Johnson there had been "an abuse of trust - you are trusted by young fans to behave properly".

Good riddance. If anything, the sentence is pretty light.

" Former England footballer Adam Johnson was arrested on suspicion of possessing animal pornography on his laptop, it can be revealed.

 

Reporting restrictions have been lifted on allegations about the ex-Sunderland star’s perverted behaviour after he was jailed for six years for engaging in sexual activity with a besotted 15-year-old fan.

 

He was also taking medication used to treat sexually-transmitted infections at the time of his arrest last year.

 

Durham Police confirmed he has now been released from his bail in relation to the pornography and no further action will be taken.

 

It has also been reported that Johnson, 28, had allegedly browsed a website called “Nice Young Teens”, which featured explicit but not unlawful images. "
