Footballer Adam Johnson admitted grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl, but denies two more serious charges with the same teenager. The 28-year-old is standing trial at Bradford Crown Court.
Summing up for prosecution, Kate Blackwell QC said the sacked footballer was used to getting everything he wanted and he wanted sex with the 15-year-old
Johnson's barrister Orlando Pownall QC said “Johnson is the villain of the piece, he should have been supporting his girlfriend not cheating and sending messages to a teenager”
England winger, 28, said a discussion in the Sunderland dressing room with players from around the world about the documentary led him to search for information
The England footballer, 28, told a jury he had hoped the 15-year-old girl had deleted messages they exchanged and also admits lying to his girlfriend about her age
