Former Sunderland player Adam Johnson was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday for sexual contact with a child.
Johnson was found guilty of grooming a girl, then 15, in January 2015 because he is alleged to have found her sexually attractive.
The judge reportedly told Johnson that he had abused the young girl (a Sunderland supporter)'s trust.
The six-year sentence wasn't the only revelation in the courtroom Thursday.
It can also now be reported that Adam Johnson browsed a website called “Nice Young Teens”, which featured explicit images but not unlawful

Maybe he'll get some help in prison, because there is clearly something wrong with Adam Johnson.
