Adam Johnson tries to sprint past cameras at his child sex court sentencing

Homenews

Adam Johnson will find out his fate today as he is sentenced for child sex offences against a 15-year-old Sunderland fan.

The disgraced footballer was found guilty of one count of sexual activity with his teenage victim after earlier pleading guilty to a further count, and another of grooming the girl. He was found not guilty on a separate charge during the trial. A judge told the ex-England star he could face a lengthy jail sentence for the offences against the young fan. But as he arrived at Bradford Crown Court for sentencing this morning, he tried to avoid the media scrum gathered to witness the hearing. The winger, who was sacked by his club after he pleaded guilty, attempted to sprint past the cameras into the court building. One reporter caught Johnson on camera. We will bring you more on the sentencing when we have it. https://twitter.com/SkyAndyHughes/status/712939595583848448
