Adam Johnson allegedly wanted a 15-year-old girl to send him a naked picture on Snapchat, a court was told.

A friend of the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed the Premier League footballer had been messaging the alleged victim on the photo-sharing app. "She (her friend) said that they talked on Snapchat and he’d asked her to send a naked picture and that’s all I can remember about it," the girl said via video link at the Bradford Crown Court trial. https://twitter.com/CraigHope_DM/status/699947097269936128 The girl's friend, who cannot be named, also told the jury that Johnson offered to meet her for cash, during the fourth day of court proceedings. https://twitter.com/KayBurley/status/699953633220304900 The girl met up with her friend after leaving Johnson's car last January and reportedly told her sexual activity had occurred , the court heard. https://twitter.com/CraigHope_DM/status/699951289954889729 Johnson, who was sacked by Sunderland FC after pleading guilty to one count of grooming and another of sexual activity with a child, denies two further counts of sexual activity with a child described as 'more serious'.
