Pervert footballer surfed bestiality and ‘Nice Young Teen’ sites – Jailed for child sex offences

Disgraced footballer Adam Johnson was unmasked as a sexual deviant who surfed bestiality and ‘Nice Young Teen’ sites after being jailed for child sex offences .

The shamed former £60,000-a-week former England winger was handed a six-year sentence for sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan as the sordid details of his double-life emerged.

Bradford crown court heard he was a sex addict who regularly had secret romps with women after training even while in a relationship with his former partner of five years and mother of his baby girl.

The court heard Johnson had gone off the rails during his time at Manchester City , with a large number of sexual partners after years of being an immature, under-developed teen.

Experts told how he thought women enjoyed the “kudos” of sleeping with him because he was a famous footballer.

The footballer told them in interviews that the schoolgirl victim was “just another girl, just another opportunity” to have sex.

Judge Jonathan Rose said it was clear that Johnson had a “number of different partners, even when….ostensibly in a settled relationship”.

He told him: “You do not suffer from any mental illness but are described as having a very high libido,and a tendency to engage in sexual activity to a compulsive degree.

“Dr Hopley speaks of your careless and reckless disregard for the age of your victim due to your lack of clear thinking and your compulsive desire to have new sexual experiences.”

Dr Appleyard said he had a “preoccupation with sex” to counter “an inability to obtain a romantic sexual relationship”.

He added: “She says you used your professional status to obtain partners.

“You were able to persuade yourself that participants were not damaged in any way by the experience.

“She describes you as having hyper-sexual disorder. All of the professionals share the view that you are needing some form of treatment and assistance.”

Dressed in a grey, prison-issue sweatshirt and jogging bottoms, former Sunderland star Johnson stared blankly ahead as details were read out before he was led away toArmley jail in Leeds.

It can be reported for the first time, after reporting restrictions were lifted, that Johnson kept extreme bestiality porn on a lap top found at his £1.5m mansion in a raid by cops on March 2 last year and accessed ‘Nice Young Teens’ – showing he was interested in girls of a similar age to his 15-year-old victim

He also kept medication prescribed for sexually transmitted diseases – and a photo of ‘what appeared to be an infected penis’ inside a safe at his home.

He also boasted of romping with a string of women behind his gf’s back, including sex on the bonnet of his car.

The details, which the jury did not hear, included that Johnson, 27, the father of a 14-month-old baby girl, had extreme porn material on a laptop seized after his arrest.

Kate Blackwell QC, prosecuting, said: “The defendant was in the habit of meeting girls in houses on the way back from training to have sex.

“The circumstances of these meetings would appear to have been clandestine, for the defendant in any event.”

She said his desire to have sex with the schoolgirl victim ‘away from the public gaze’ in his car was an aggravating factor.

Johnson was jailed for five years for sexual activity with the girl, and another 12 months for grooming her.

He was given another four months concurrent sentence for kissing and touching her.

Johnson was jailed for five years for sexual activity with the girl, and another 12 months for grooming her.

He was given another four months concurrent sentence for kissing and touching her.

The court heard Johnson “embarked on an extensive social life involving sexual activity on a very frequent basis with a number of different partners” after moving to Man City in 2010.

Before, as a teenager, he had a “gift for football……but immaturity both physical and mental”.

Johnson joked about having sex with women on his car bonnet even as he groomed the schoolgirl last year.

He admitted having sex with women behind Stacey’s back, and was pictured partying with a blonde model at a stag do in Dubai last summer.

Checks on his mobile phone found him trying to arrange meetings with FIVE other women for sex at the same time as he was grooming the Year 10 schoolgirl.

He boasted about romps on the bonnet with women “in their 20’s” as he persuaded the underage girl to meet for sex in his black £90,000 Range Rover Sport and requested topless photos of his victim, who he found ‘sexually attractive’ when she was just 14.

At the same time as grooming the fan who “idolised” him, he was joking with friends about “banging” women behind Stacey’s back.

Johnson sent a series of women salacious texts even as heavily pregnant Stacey was preparing to give birth to their daughter Ayla last January.

Around the same time as meeting the schoolgirl, Johnson was sending texts to a friend named only as “Mendy”, the court heard during legal argument.

AJ: How did your date go the other day? Is she not a slut? I bet you have been texting her for fun.

Mendy – I had a snog then I dropped her off. AJ – A school snog in your car?

M ~ F***ing right, got nothing else. AJ – She is f***ing decent. Me and Robbo can bring her up to Aberdeen when we come.

Ms Blackwell told Durham crown court of seizure of medication for STDs from Johnson’s home at a preliminary hearing last year.

She said: “There were perhaps two types of medicine seized from the safe, prescribed to the defendant indicating he may be suffering from one or two sexually transmitted infections at the time.

“That, together with the photos on the mobile telephone that appeared to show images of an infected penis.

“Messages between him and his girlfriend may lead to the conclusion any alleged conduct between him and the complainant would be aggravated by these matters.

“The prosecution invited the defendant to provide a copy of medical records or to confirm, one way or the other, whether that was the case.’

Ex-England footballer Adam Johnson has been found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a girl aged 15

The jury at Bradford Crown Court found Johnson guilty of a charge of sexual touching, but not guilty on a charge relating to another sexual act.

The former Sunderland player had previously admitted grooming the girl and one charge of sexual activity.

Judge Jonathan Rose has warned Johnson he faces jail and told him to “say goodbye to your daughter”.

In a statement, Johnson’s victim said she had been through the “hardest year” of her life.

She said meeting her hero felt “surreal” at first but she now feels “used and let down” by Johnson.

She said: “I have had to face so much abuse after he claimed his innocence and I was made out to be a liar.

“What happened in his car has turned my life upside down.

“There are people who have made assumptions about me and this has been hard to deal with… Him being found guilty shows everyone I was telling the truth.

The judge said his preliminary view was that the case falls into the category of a five-year prison sentence with a range of four to 10 years.

He said: “The defendant must understand there is a very high probability of a significant custodial sentence.”

The judge told Johnson he would be released on bail so he could get his “affairs in order”.

He said: “You can say goodbye to your daughter. A prison sentence will mean you will not see her for some time.”

Johnson, 28, showed no emotion as the verdicts were delivered and he has been granted bail until his sentencing, which is due to take place in two to three weeks.

Johnson met up with the girl on 30 January 2015 after agreeing to sign football shirts for her, the court heard.

The player admitted kissing the teenager but told the jury the encounter in his Range Rover “went no further”.

However the girl told the court the former winger “put his hands down her pants” and she performed an oral sex act on him.

The jury, which had been deliberating since Tuesday morning following a three-week trial, cleared Johnson over the oral sex claim but convicted him by a 10-2 majority on the sexual touching charge.

Johnson was sacked by Sunderland after admitting on the first day of his trial that he had kissed the girl.

He began communicating with the girl at the very end of 2014 while his partner, Stacey Flounders, was heavily pregnant with their first child.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was a Sunderland season ticket holder and was “infatuated” with Johnson.

Johnson told the jury that when she sent him a friend request on Facebook he recognised her as a Sunderland fan.

After he accepted the request he began a communication which involved 834 WhatsApp messages in little more than a month before the exchanges moved on to SnapChat and were not recorded.

During the trial, prosecutors accused Johnson of delaying his admission to the lesser offences until the start of his trial so he could still play for Sunderland, from whom he earned £60,000 a week.

Johnson told the court the club knew he had kissed the girl.
