Adam Johnson allegedly wanted a 15-year-old girl to send him a naked picture on Snapchat, a court was told.
A friend of the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed the Premier League footballer had been messaging the alleged victim on the photo-sharing app.
“She (her friend) said that they talked on Snapchat and he’d asked her to send a naked picture and that’s all I can remember about it,” the girl said via video link at the Bradford Crown Court trial.
