The family of Adam Johnson's girlfriend have reportedly claimed that she is 'standing by' the Sunderland winger following child sex allegations.
On Monday, the 27-year-old footballer was arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl of 15.
Johnson's girlfriend Stacey Flounders, who gave birth to the couple's daughter seven weeks ago, is said to be rallying behind her partner.
Stacey's mother told The Mirror: "Stacey and Adam are still very close and absolutely still together. He is 100% innocent and we will stand by him. He hasn't been found guilty of anything."
Johnson, who authorities claimed was helping Durham police with their inquiries, was released on bail yesterday.
