Adam Johnson told in court: ‘Say goodbye to your daughter’

Former England footballer Adam Johnson has been told to “say goodbye to your daughter” after being warned there is a “very high probability” he will be jailed for a “significant” length of time after being convicted of one count of sexual activity with a child.

Jurors at Bradford Crown Court found the former Sunderland FC winger guilty by a majority of 10-2 after Judge Jonathan Rose said he would accept a majority verdict.

The disgraced star was cleared by the jury on a second count — oral sex with a child — after the trial, which lasted more than two weeks.
