The jury retires to consider its verdict in the trial of Adam Johnson, who is accused of two counts of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

The jury has retired to consider its verdict in the trial of former Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson, who is accused of two counts of sexual activity with a child under the age of 16.

The 28-year-old is alleged to have been involved in a sex act with a 15-year-old girl while in his parked car last January.

Johnson denies those two charges, but has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with her and a further count of grooming.

During the 13-day trial at Bradford Crown Court, it was heard that the alleged victim was a Sunderland fan and had two meetings with Johnson, the first of which involved him giving her two signed football shirts.

Judge Jonathan Rose told the 12-person jury on Tuesday that a unanimous decision on each count must be met.

Johnson was sacked by Sunderland after he admitted to child sex charges.
