Former England footballer Adam Johnson has been found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child but was cleared on a second count.

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

The 28-year-old admitted grooming a 15-year-old girl and sexual activity with the teenager, relating to kissing her in his Range Rover, but denied the two more serious charges of sexual activity with a child.

He was cleared of a charge relating to an alleged sex act.

Judge Rose said a custodial sentence is "the almost inevitable outcome" but granted Johnson bail until the hearing, which will be held at a later date.

There was no obvious reaction to the verdict from Johnson, who was sitting in the dock with two security guards.

Fiona Thompson is at Bradford Crown Court and will be reporting live from the press bench as soon as the jury come back into court.
