Adam Johnson has been found guilty by a majority of 10-2 on the final remaining count of sexual activity with a child.

The judge in his case, Jonathan Rose, had informed the jury that he would accept a majority verdict on the remaining charge after Johnson was found not guilty on a separate count.

The footballer earlier pleaded guilty to a separate charge of sexual activity with a child, and one count of grooming.

Johnson, who was arrested one year ago today in relation to the case, was sacked by his club Sunderland following the earlier guilty pleas.
