Adam Johnson sentenced to six years in jail

Disgraced former Sunderland and Manchester City winger Adam Johnson has been sentenced to six years in jail on Thursday.

Johnson was found guilty of grooming and sexual activity with a child.

He was convicted over two weeks ago but was given a few weeks by the Judge to spend time with his young daughter.

A prison term of up to 10 years was expected with many suspecting the former Sunderland winger would get a full decade in jail due to the severity of the offences. 

Johnson has also been stripped of his England caps as a result of the conviction. Sunderland sacked Johnson once their former player announced he was guilty.
