Former England and Sunderland player Adam Johnson, has been found guilty of child sex charge.
The jury at Bradford crown court found Adam guilty of a charge of sexual touching, but not guilty on a charge relating to another sexual act.
The presiding judge, Jonathan Rose, warned that Adam could face a jail term of up to 7years. Adam, should no remorse or emotion as the verdicts were read out to him and had been granted bail until his sentencing, which is due in coming weeks.
