Adam Johnson Trial: Jury retires to consider its verdicts
A jury has been sent out to consider its verdicts in the trial of footballer Adam Johnson.
Johnson, 28, has pleaded guilty to grooming a 15-year-old girl and one charge of sexual activity with the teenager.
But the former Sunderland winger denies two more serious counts of sexual activity with a child.
The charges relate to an incident in Johnson's Range Rover on January 30 last year after he met up with the girl in County Durham.
The player admits that he kissed the teenager but he has told the jury the encounter went no further.
Judge Jonathan Rose began summing up the evidence in the case on Monday and he concluded on Tuesday, reminding the jury of eight women and four men about what the player said under cross-examination in the witness box and, also, what his ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders told the court.
The footballer sat in the dock listening to the judge flanked by a security guard.
He was wearing a dark suit over a white shirt and a black tie.
Miss Flounders watched from the public gallery with members of Johnson's family.
