He is getting sentenced today.
Some really weird and sad details are coming out about this guy -
Adam Johnson's physical development as a child "was somewhat retarded", a doctor found. The court is hearing from Dr Philip Hopley who specialises in assessing sports men and women. He assessed Johnson. The doctor tells Judge Jonathan Rose that the 28-year-old told him explicit text messaging was common among footballers.
Going to prison will offer some "relief", Adam Johnson told a psychiatrist. He told the doctor he just wanted to let the people he had hurt get on with their lives. The psychiatrist told the court at the age of 28, Johnson was still "psychologically and socially immature".
Adam Johnson told a doctor his victim was "just another girl, just another opportunity" to have sex. The former SAFC winger has a "compulsive drive to have new sexual experiences", Bradford Crown Court heard. The doctor's report says Johnson believes he "has a right to sex" and he does not see the girl as a victim.
Adam Johnson was in the habit of meeting girls on the way back from training to have sex, a court has heard. Prosecutor Kate Blackwell QC said he took advantage of his standing in society in his role as a footballer. And he chose to carry on playing football for Sunderland AFC, earning adulation and £60,000 a week "knowing he had seriously wronged his victim".
