Former England footballer Adam Johnson has been found guilty at Bradford Crown Court of one count of sexual activity with a child.

The 28-year-old admitted grooming a 15-year-old girl and sexual activity with the teenager, relating to kissing her in his Range Rover, but denied the two more serious charges of sexual activity with a child.

He was cleared of one charge earlier in the day.

The charges against the former Sunderland FC winger arose from a meeting between Johnson and the girl in his car in County Durham on January 30 last year.
