The 28-year old ex-England international
has been sentenced to serve six year jail term on Thursday afternoon at
Bradford Crown Court for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year old.
Justice Jonathan Rose
while delivering the judgment has said that what the former Sunderland
winger did was “an abuse of trust” saying he is “trusted by young fans
to behave properly”
He said: “She had only just turned 15
when you began grooming her, because, as you were to admit, you found
her sexually attractive.”
Adam Johnson who last
month admitted kissing the minor in his Range Rover in January 2015
after he had groomed her using social media app was also “engaged in
frequent sexual intercourse with multiple partners” according to the
Judge.
Restrictions have now been lifted that
prevented it being reported that, when Johnson was arrested, police
found medicines in a safe indicating he may have been suffering from
sexually transmitted infections.
The shamed footballer who lost his Adidas support, and whose girlfriend reportedly broke up with him recently has been transported to spend his first night in prison.
