It's been a day in which former Sunderland and Middlesbrough footballer Adam Johnson was sentenced to six years in prison for sexual activity with a 15-year-old fan.
Here's a round-up of what we learned:
- Judge tells him he abused a position of trust and caused his victim 'severe psychological harm'
- The court was told his grooming has 'devastated' his victim
- It emerged he was in possession of animal porn, but will face no further action
- He was found to have medication for sexually transmitted infections in a safe when he was arrested
- In focus: How messaging and social apps helped convict him
- The Professional Footballers' Association says he's 'unlikely to play again'
