A.T.G 10,773 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Adam Johnson's "continual denials" left his victim "scared, intimidated and called a liar", the judge says. He tells the former Sunderland player that she has "suffered threats and thousands of abusive remarks" on social media. He adds that the schoolgirl "now suffers night terrors" and cannot sleep.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Adam Johnson was only able to commit his child sex offences because he was "a respected Sunderland footballer", the judge says. He tells him he "had a gift of football" but after joining Manchester City he embarked on a compulsive drive for sex. That left his victim suffering from "sadness, anger, fear, confusion, night terrors, weight loss and nausea". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
