Adam Johnson has been found guilty of one charge of sexual activity with a child.

The jury at Bradford Crown Court returned the guilty verdict shortly after finding the former Sunderland midfielder not guilty on one earlier charge. The 27 year old has been told he will almost certainly face a custodial sentence. He was found guilty on a 10-2 majority. Johnson will be awarded bail while he awaits sentencing in 2-3 weeks. https://twitter.com/JoshHalliday/status/705065249993584642 https://twitter.com/JoshHalliday/status/705065672246730754 https://twitter.com/JoshHalliday/status/705066190935355392 The former England international footballer had earlier pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual activity with a child and one charge of grooming. https://twitter.com/JoshHalliday/status/705057556172034048 The jury gave its verdict this afternoon following a trial which began on February 10th.
