Shamed Prem ace Adam Johnson jailed for SIX YEARS after being found guilty of child sex offences

By Daily Sports on March 24, 2016

Disgraced footballer Adam Johnson has been jailed for six years after being found guilty of child sex offences.

The shamed Sunderland star showed no emotion as he was handed the sentence at Bradford Crown Court today.

Johnson was also ordered to pay £50,000 of the prosecution’s £67,132 costs – less than a week’s wages before he was sacked.

The former footie ace was also handed a restraining order banning him from contacting the victim or her family.

Johnson was convicted of one charge of sexual activity with a child earlier this month, after previously admitting grooming and kissing a 15-year-old schoolgirl.

Sentencing the child sex offender, Judge Jonathan Rose described Johnson as having “no remorse” and labelled his actions “deliberate”.

He said: “She had only just turned 15 when you began to groom her...because you found her sexually attractive even though you knew her to be just 15.”

Judge Rose pointed out the girl was a Sunderland season ticket holder who waited behind every match to see him, adding: “You were her favourite player.”

The 28-year-old sat emotionless in the dock as his schoolgirl victim said she fears she may never fully recover from what happened.

A statement from the teenager was read out before he received his sentence.

It said: “I have felt very intimidated and lonely at times because Adam Johnson refused to admit his guilt.”

“It has had and continues to have a massive impact on my life. My schoolwork has suffered and I’ve been bullied at school.”

She added: “I just wanted to pretend I didn’t exist and that this wasn’t real.”

The victim’s mother said: “There’s been no winners...I take no satisfaction in how this has affected Adam Johnson, his family, and football fans.”

She added her daughter has had “disturbing threats of violence made towards her” and had a “devastating” effect on her life.

The court heard “those closest” to the pervert actively encouraged people to name and abuse the schoolgirl victim on social media.

The former £60k-a-week player’s mum and dad sat in the front row as he was sentenced today.

Both showed no emotion as their son’s sentence was read out.

His ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders remained at home with their daughter Ayla.
